Frank Miller to Direct "The Spirit"

[moonmaster]

From AICN:

Frank Miller looked directly into the trap and saw he caught Will Eisner's SPIRIT!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Looks like Variety let the cat out of the bag early here. There was going to be a "big announcement" at Comic-Con this weekend about the long in waiting movie adaptation of Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT. Seems the big announcement was the director. Frank Miller, comic book writer and artist who co-directed SIN CITY with Robert Rodriguez, will helm the flick. Here is some info:

Miller told Variety, “I intend to be extremely faithful to the heart and soul of the material, but it won't be nostalgic. It will be much scarier than people expect," said Miller.

Whoa, I missed this thread.

I did make a lot of money off of The Spirit at the HSX when I day-traded it. Bought 50,000 shares... people started panic buying... share price went up, dumped it 8 hours later and made a sweet $15,000.

That's awesome.

Damn, I was hoping he'd play Ebony White.

How come I have this feeling that Frank is just going to make Spirit just like Batman?

Because that's exactly what Frank is going to do. And we're smart enough to see it ahead of time.

Gabriel Macht to play title role...

You may know him best as Colin Ferrel's older brother in "American Outlaws".

So yeah.......

 

[Jaggyd]

this is almost as big of an atrocity to comic films as David Boreanaz doing the voice of Hal Jordan in JLA: New Frontier....

 

[bluebeast]

Ookay. Who?

I doubt it. He and Eisner were very close before Eisner's death. I expect something fairly faithful out of Frank.

This seems more like Sin City every day...

Hmmmmmmm...........



I don't know what to think yet.

 

[Fuzzy Birds]

What the **** is going on? Why does Jackson look like he's wearing drag? Why is the spirit in black and red, not blue and white? Why is Frank Miller making Sin City again?

Damnit, I love the Spirit. I don't know about this.

 

[Bass]

Huh.

I dunno.

 

[Gothamite]

I ****ing knew he'd do this.

This will be the final straw, I'm sure of it. After this, everyone will see Miller as the nutjob he really is and people will stop hiring him.
