Take a look at some new images of Frank
Miller's The Spirit.
{sidebar id=1}Adapted
from Will Eisner's comic book series, "The Spirit" is a
classic action-adventure-romance genre-twister written for the screen
and directed by Frank Miller (creator of "300" and "Sin
City"). It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns
mysteriously from the dead as The Spirit (Gabriel Macht) to fight
crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, The Octopus
(Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he's going to wipe out
Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality.
The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's
rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept
waterfront... all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who
either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader. Surrounding
him at every turn are Ellen Dolan (Sarah Paulson), the whip-smart
girl-next-door; Silken Floss (Scarlett Johansson), a punk secretary
and frigid vixen; Plaster of Paris (Paz Vega), a murderous French
nightclub dancer; Lorelei (Jaime King), a phantom siren; and
Morgenstern (Stana Katic), a sexy young cop.
Then of course,
there's Sand Saref (Eva Mendes), the jewel thief with dangerous
curves. She's the love of his life turned bad. Will he save her or
will she kill him?
In the vein of "Batman Begins"
and "Sin City," "The Spirit" takes us on a
sinister, gut-wrenching ride with a hero who is born, murdered and
born again.
