Burbank, CA – "I was supposed to die that day...I didn't." Government agent Jane Vasco has had her bones broken, been shot and beaten countless times. She should be dead. Yet she survives, despite feeling the agony of every supposedly fatal injury. Find out how, on March 25th, when Anchor Bay Entertainment releases the SCI-FI Channel hit "
Painkiller Jane." This complete series, which includes commentaries and a featurette - "Behind Budapest: The Making of
Painkiller Jane" - will be available on a six-DVD box set for the suggested retail price of $49.97.
With a name that came from her mental toughness and physical impenetrability, "
Painkiller Jane" began as a comic book favorite. As a series on the SCI-FI Channel, the show brought action to TV screens in 2007. As StuffMagazine.com declared, "
Painkiller Is A Thriller!"
The world of the near future is swimming in blood and madness. Jane (Kristanna Loken,
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, "
The L Word") is the most resilient member of the government's elite but covert crime-fighting unit, along with Lauren Bowers (Alaina Huffman,
Pendulum, Serving Sara) and Andre McBride (Rob Stewart,
Kounterfeit), in a seemingly hopeless cause -- to control and possibly eliminate the "neuros," genetically advanced humans with extra sensory powers...and a penchant for crime. Yet could genetics explain Jane's own advanced powers? Is Jane herself the enemy?
No situation can stop her, no injury can fell her. Fearless, beautiful, able to endure the worst physical torments – meet the future's newest hero: "
Painkiller Jane"!
