Proof... as if we needed it... that this will be Frank Miller's THE SPIRIT!
Frank's changed Will Eisner's goofy detective into a hard boiled and violent film noir!
This ain't going to be the rather goofy version of the character that Will Eisner created. This is Frank Miller baby. The guy who pretty much helped shape the Batman we know today with his stories and drawings, the guy who gave us a film noir like no other full of Booze, Broads & Bullets in his Sin City series which he also helped turn into the greatest literal movie adaptation of a comic book yet. The guy who made shirt less historical epics cool again with 300. It's going to be dark, brooding, gloomy, very sexy (Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, Jaime King - in a Frank Miller movie - wow!), violent. It's going to be as if Batman lived in Sin City. Wonder if he has shot the film black and white too. You know I really do love the "Adam West' vibe of the original incarnation of The Spirit but I frikkin' love Frank Miller and film noir is one of my favourite genres.
My City Screams - She is My Lover - And I am her Spirit! Hell yeah. Gabriel Macht stars as the Spirit - Samuel L. Jackson is the bad guy (the disfigured Octopus) and a ton of sexy faces and bodies when it opens in January. source - coming soon
