The Independent Film Channel (IFC) is adapting Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter to its first, full-length, theatrical feature which will air on the network. The popular novel series, which spawned an equally popular line of graphic novels under Marvel, by Laurell K. Hamilton will be adapted through a joint-venture with Lionsgate. If the TV movie is successful, more may follow. While no stars have been announced, Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter will air in 2010.
Glen Morgan, who has worked on X-Files and Final Destination, serves as executive producer, along with Courtney Solomon. The Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter movie is being tauted as a cross between True Blood and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and is being aimed at men, 18-34.
You can expect it to contain a suitable amount of just-this-side-of porn, as many detractors of the series claim it does. I have not read any of the Anita Blake books.
