Frank Miller's "The Spirit"

Any movie with that many hot women and Samuel L. Jackson is definitely worth watching. I like the new trailer that was put up with The Dark Knight. I was never into the comic but maybe the movie will change my mind.
 
Usually Frank Miller's godly comic books end up being pretty good movies, so I'll probably check it out. And Sam Jackson can light up the screen like no other.:D

Looks like a winner might have to check it out when it comes out. ;)

it's not a frank miller comic. Although I think he did write the script and he's the directer.
 
Will Eisner created The Spirit, but this is essentially Frank Miller's version. From the preview, I do not detect much about Eisner's version having stuck around. But that's not surprising when it comes to Miller. Should attract the fans of Sin City for sure.

Yeah, this is bullshit.

This movie has absolutely NO connection to The Spirit comic book. Miller should be ashamed of himself and you can be damn sure if Eisner was still alive this movie wouldn't be getting made, let alone released. If Miller had an honest bone in his scummy body and even 1/100 of an ounce of integrity he'd call this the sequel to Sin City, which is what this really is.

Never going to see it.
 
^ A bit harsh, but I kinda agree.

Like I said before, Miller wouldn't like other people "re-imagining" his work, and the same goes for most comic creators.

it's a little bit different between novel writers, because that leaves a lot up to your imagination, but comics are also a visual medium, so you know what there creators envisioned both ways. Which is also why they work so well for movies.. if you don't screw them up and go in a different direction.

obviously it's different for "collective" history comics like superman and batman, but for comics that had only one group of people that worked on them, I think that they should get the creators input on the movie, or not make it at all.
 
It looks like Sin City part 2, the ladies all look fantastic but I doubt I'll go and see it, doesnt look that great IMO.
 
Miller honestly should have titled this, "The Goddamn Spirit".

Just to clarify exactly who's version this really is.

As said before, I'm sure the general audiences who liked Sin City will eat this up. Eisner Spirit fans? Not so much. But that was expected since Miller was announced as being associated with this project.
 
Yeah, I was just never into the comic but I am interested in the movie. I'm pretty sure that if I was into the comic than I'd probably feel different.
 
I also heard that this movie was going to be like PG rated, but the previews make it look like it's softcore porn version of that website Be The Mask. Only with CG and famous Hollywood babes. It didn't even say anything about crime fighting...

Actually, I am really selling this movie, aren't I? they should hire me to do PR.

It's sure to look great, but the PG rating puts me off A LOT. Aparently the violence is very "cartoonish" too... But hell, I'll give it a chance.

I got both actually, but watchmen looks pretty damn good!
 
Watchmen looks pretty tight. I hope it lives up to Alan Moore's standards though, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was a letdown.

As for The Spirit, Miller was approached by the studio to direct/write at a memorial for Will Eisner. Supposedly Miller was cool with Will Eisner and was a big fan of The Spirit, so I think he can do the film with justice.
 
I have to admit that I have zero interest in seeing this film.I wasn't really a big fan of the Sin City movie even though the comics were pretty damn good,but this just looks like the same 'ol same 'ol.No thank you.

That's exactly what might keep me from seeing it.
