THE SPIRIT teaser trailer

You know, I really wish they would call this Frank Miller’s The Spirit.

Although he doesn’t own the character like he does his Sin City universe, he does own a certain depiction of other creators superheros such as Daredevil and Batman. His runs on both comics are legendary and actually when I read Daredevil, it’s always his run that I compare whomever I am reading too.

I don’t mind that he has changed the character completely to suit his hallmarks - he’s been doing it for decades now. Which is why he should promote this as being his version of the character. This film clearly will have little to do with Will Eisner, only slightly resemblance in a minuscule of tone.

The trailer plays very much like an unofficial sequel to Sin City. He was very close to the making of the Sin City movie and now he gets to play with the toys that Robert Rodriguez showed him. The movie is bound to be clunky but what he makes up for directorial naivety won’t be lost in cool visuals or narrative storytelling…

  2. if frank miller were taking over writer and artist duties on the comic book after darwyn cooke’s departure…this is what’d be like. except for it’s live action. with scarlett johansson. these are all good things to my mind.
