Cable network Starz has picked up Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert's live-action adaptation of the anime series "Noir," an individual with knowledge of the project confirms to TheWrap.
The original series, which ran on TV Tokyo in 2001, follows a pair of female assassins who embark on a journey of personal discovery and discover that they have far more in common than they originally thought, all while a mysterious organization called Les Soldats lays out a series of traps for the duo.
