Actress would produce film based on her comic series

Dimension Films has snagged the Image Comics series "O.C.T.: Occult Crimes Taskforce" as a starring vehicle for Rosario Dawson.

It's not surprising that Dimension would want the "Clerks 2" star to topline a possible "O.C.T." film. Dawson co-created the comic series and the main character's resemblance to the "Kids" star also isn't a coincidence.

In addition to Dawson's ties to the comic series, which premiered this July, the actress has also become something of a good luck charm for Dimension. Her other films with the company have included "Sin City" and the upcoming "Killshot" and "Grindhouse."

Dawson created "O.C.T." with David Atchison and Tony Shasteen. The "Night Stalker"-esque series focuses on a police officer who gets recruited for a special taskforce that handles occult crimes. You probably could have figured that out from the title, eh?

In addition to starring, Dawson will produce the "O.C.T." film. Her first full-on producing effort, the drama "Descent," is currently looking for distribution.
