A slightly different image to the one that we were granted with a while back for The Spirit. This one graces the front cover of the San Diego Official Comic-Con Mag and you may think it’s early advertising but remember, the film is now hitting this year.
Christmas time to be precise, to match the snow…
I’ve actually just watched Jackie Brown for the fourth time tonight and it got me thinking about Jackson and how so much more exciting an actor he was in the mid to late 90’s. So hungry for his work, relishing almost every role with a tremendous screen presence which matched up to any of the big stars that Hollywood had to offer.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s still very much capable these days. Coach Carter, Black Snake Moan and Resurrecting the Champ (all notably smaller works) show he can still carry a movie but for the big Hollywood productions – he doesn’t seem as interested. The Star Wars prequels notably being phoned in performances but he’s an actor that I’m sure Frank Miller took to in a heartbeat.
And we only need to watch Unbreakable to see how well he can play a great comic book villain.
source – coming soon

It was working on those shite Star Wars films that probably sickened him! as it did with most of the other actors, you can only interact so much with a green screen and then your head explodes!
The Spirit will have been made entirely on Green Screen… so it’s obviously something that he feels comfortable with, even though his performances certainly haven’t looked that way in the final product.
I think this really shows hope for the movie – im excited
