‹ New Pics of Nixon’s Meeting With Elvis •
Tell me if you’ve heard this before: There’s a movie coming out that’s an comic book adaptation, shot and directed in a highly-stylized way that makes it look like a comic book. It’s a hard-boiled detective story that takes place in a crumbling city. And it’s brought to us by Frank Miller. Sound familiar? No, it’s not Sin City. This time it’s The Spirit.
The film is an adaptation of the comic dating all the way back to the 40s. Originally created by Will Eisner, it’s Frank Miller’s vision that will appear on the screen. The movie will follow The Spirit, a former detective who rose from the dead to fight crime, as he battles his arch-enemy, The Octopus (played by Samuel L. Jackson, who we all know is a BMF).
The movie doesn’t hit theaters until January 19th, 2009, but the teaser trailer is out now:
