Regardless of how good this movie looks, there’s not deny the babe-talent that it has going for it. Get a rundown here:
I’m still not quite sure what to think about this movie… Frank Miller’s a cool dude and all, but at this point, based on trailers and this featurette, The Spirit looks exactly like a campy, over the top Sin City copy. Obviously the stories are different, and I’ve never read The Spirit comics, but these “first looks” at the movie don’t get me very excited… See for yourself:

On behalf of Lionsgate, we are pleased to present the teaser poster from the upcoming classic action-adventure-romance, THE SPIRIT, revealed by director FRANK MILLER at New York Comic Con this past weekend. Also check out an exclusive still from the set of the movie - featuring EVA MENDES as SAND SAREF, the jewel thief with dangerous curves.

Synopsis:
Adapted from the legendary comic strip, THE SPIRIT is a classic action-adventure-romance told by genre-twister 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?
The Spirit is on his way to theaters January 16, 2009!
