New Trailer:The Spirit!

Frank Miller's The Spirit, set to be released on Christmas Day, is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as The Spirit (Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, The Octopus (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.





This one is looking to be another graphic novel adaptation. Judging from the trailers we've seen so far, there looks to be a lotta "Oh Shit!" moments! Cant wait!

Trailer:

I have actually never heard of The Spirit so i actually don't know what to expect. The only thing that gets me excited about this film is Frank Miller and the trailer itself. Writer/Director, Frank Miller has produced visually captivating hits ike 300 and Sin City. The Spirit looks no different. This film looks like it's gonna have fx similar to Miller's previous films. It will be interesting to see how Frank Miller will interpret this comic book character. I've got my p170.. ready and waiting for this.
