Frank Miller - the man who wrote, produced and co-directed 2005’s Sin City - will soon be delivering us another visual feast.
In this clip, audiences are treated to a more revealing look at The Spirit. In the film, an adaptation of Will Eisner’s comic book series, Gabriel Macht will play a man who has faked his own death and now fights crimes from the shadows of Central City. Meanwhile, Samuel L. Jackson stars as The Octopus, the villain who intends to wreak havoc on the entire city.
Spirit, also starring Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson, opens December 25.

Frank Miller Addresses Concerns of The Spirit

In a recent blog post, graphic novelist/director Frank Miller addressed complaints and concerns aroused by fans upon the circulation of the teaser trailer for The Spirit, which can be seen after the jump.
In Will Eisner’s comics, the Spirit’s suit and hat are printed blue. In the posters, ads, and trailer, he is seen wearing black. Miller explained that due to printing issues, the Spirit’s clothes appear blue when meant to be black (take Superman’s hair, for instance).
Similarly, the black attire and red hints a tad reminiscent of Miller’s own Sin City, but he assures readers that the teaser trailer is just that—a tease. “To drive the point home, The Spirit, despite any accidental impression left by that kickass teaser-trailer, is a full-color movie. Sin City is, visually, a playhouse for black and white,” he clarifies.
