........when i first saw sin city i was thinking they should do a spirit movie like this - NOT they should let frank miller do a spirit movie like this - they should let brad bird do a spirit movie like this

I'm waiting to see how it turns out, but I tend to lean towards being a little worried, because I don't like Sin City in either of its forms.

Check this video out, it's in interview with Frank Miller in which he says he wants to "bring alive what I believe was Eisner's intent, rather than what he actually did."

Draw your own conclusions.

my conclusion: Miller is the usual overrated arrogant full of himself hack.

If Bird did a Spirit movie, it wouldn't *be* like that.

CBR's Andy Khouri filed this in-depth report from Central City, where he visited with writer/director Frank Miller, producer Deborah Del Prete and actor Gabriel Macht on the neon green set of "Will Eisner's The Spirit."

Great read. Everything sounds right, Miller's head and heart seem to be in the right place, and I think if anyone can carry on Eisner's vision it's Miller - let's just hope it all works out.

Wonder when we'll finally see a shot of the Spirit?

I'm sorry, but after the Chabon news, this is the funniest thing I've read all day.

....a coen brorthers "the spirit" would be genius - like "the hudsucker proxy" with domino masks

My main concern about this movie is that it seems like everything that Frank Miller has ever worked on was set in Sin City. Daredevil? check. Batman? they called it Gotham, but it could easily have been Sin City. Ronin? check. The Goddamn Batman from ASBAR? definitely. Now, I'm not actually familiar with the Spirit. I've seen some pictures, but was completely disgusted with the way Ebony was depicted. But if the Spirit is the kind of character that can easily fit into Sin City, then I expect that Frank Miller will at least do his usual good work.
