The Spirit
Directed By: Frank Miller
Opening: Dec 25, 2008
About The Movie: Graphic novelist Frank Miller makes his solo directorial debut with this highly stylized, hotly anticipated adaptation of the 1940s-era cartoon strip of the same name, originally created by Miller’s mentor (and comics legend) Will Eisner. Gabriel Macht (Behind Enemy Lines) steps into the limelight as the titular crime fighter, an ex-cop who rises from the dead to rid the city of his nemesis, The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson). Shot in vivid black, white and reds, the comic caper should draw fans of Miller and Robert Rodriguez’s similarly striking Sin City – and did we mention the bevy of beautiful femme fatales on hand to lure The Spirit every which way (Eva Mendes, Jaime King, Scarlett Johansson, Sarah Paulson, and Paz Vega)?
