The actress, who will appear in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and "Jennifer's Body," will also produce with Safran Prods.' Peter Safran, Brian Austin Green and Steve Bessen.
Turner, who passed away last year, will remain as the project's executive producer. Frank Mastromauro will also be an exec producer.
The comicbook was originally published by Top Cow and more recently by Aspen, an imprint that Turner created. The comicbook is still published after his death.
