Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, Jamie King and Paz Vega are four of the women in The Spirit.
While these beauties are household names, you've never seen them quite like you will in this Frank Miller movie. Check out the following video for a sneak peek:
In a new Los Angeles Times article, writer Frank Miller and actor Samuel L. Jackson talked about the upcoming graphic novel movie, The Spirit.
"It's very different than the look and feel of Sin City and 300 because the source material is so different," Miller said. "The Spirit is its own, full-color world."
Jackson, who plays The Octopus, added:
"There are some great scenes where we just go at it. Frank knew what he wanted to do. You look at this movie and you can tell it's his. Nobody else would make this movie this way, which is why he's doing movies now."
A pair of quite different epics hit theaters this fall. One centers on pre-World War II Australia, the other on a fantasy world created by graphic novel writer Frank Miller.
Here are trailers for Australia and The Spirit:
It's gonna be hard to top this movie poster for The Spirit. Gosh, we heart Scarlett Johansson.
But the following two promos do have us more excited for the upcoming Frank Miller adaption. It opens on Christmas day.
Comic book - sorry, graphic novel - fans, rejoice:
The Spirit is coming out on Christmas day.
Here are a few new photos from the film, which stars Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlet Johansson and relative newcomer Gabriel Macht. Click on each for a larger version...
Legendar comic writer Frank Miller (300) makes his solo debut with an adaptation of Will Eisner's 1940s comic strip The Spirit.
The movie is about a police officer who, after getting shot and killed, comes back to life... with a major agenda. '
'The Spirit is out for justice,'' said star Gabriel Macht who plays the title character. ''He's trying to clean up the city and find his killers.''
At first, Miller turned The Spirit down.
''But three and a half seconds later I said, 'Hold on, nobody else gets to touch it,''' he said. ''It's a comic strip that's had a tremendous effect on my own work.''
Take one look at the tagline on the movie poster for The Spirit - and remember that it's centered around Scarlet Johansson - and there should be no doubt about why you should line up for this comic book-based film.
If taking a look at the trailer for the film helps, however, enjoy it now:
