Adapted from the legendary comic strip, THE SPIRIT is a classic action-adventure-romance told by genre-twister FRANK MILLER (creator of 300 and SIN CITY). It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the SPIRIT (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the OCTOPUS (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he's going to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront ... all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader. Surrounding him at every turn are ELLEN DOLAN (Sarah Paulson), the whip-smart girl-next-door; SILKEN FLOSS (Scarlett Johansson), a punk secretary and frigid vixen; PLASTER OF PARIS (Paz Vega), a murderous French nightclub dancer; LORELEI (Jaime King), a phantom siren; and MORGENSTERN (Stana Katic), a sexy young cop. Then of course, there's SAND SAREF (Eva Mendes), the jewel thief with dangerous curves. She's the love of his life turned bad. Will he save her or will she kill him? In the vein of BATMAN BEGINS and SIN CITY, THE SPIRIT takes us on a sinister, gut-wrenching ride with a hero who is born, murdered and born again.


It looks good.

I dunno, I hope its not Sin-Spirit but I've taken off my hater-pants for this.

I was thinking a couple of days ago about how Del Toro's vision of Hellboy's seems radically different compared to Mignola'a but inreality its just a hyper version of it. Likewise if they can keep some of the humor and pulp roots of the Spirit then it should be a good fit:

If Del Toro's version of Hellboy is Mignola with the lights turned on then I hope that Miller's version of The Spirit is just Eisnerwith the lights turned off.
 
i was looking forward to it more before i saw the extended trailer or whatever..



but im guessing if u liked sin city, u should at least be entertained by this. i will watch..
