[QUOTE="The Grumpy Celt, post: 4420138, member: 1019"] I never knew [i]The Spirit[/i] was a comic book about a total poon-hound hero. Why didn’t some one tell me that? Sam L. Jackson in a Nazi uniform. There is actually a character named Silken Floss? That doesn't sound sexy, it sounds like a dental product. *** [b]The Spirit (film)[/b] The Spirit (also known as Will Eisner's The Spirit) is an upcoming 2008 American film adaptation based on the newspaper strip of the same name created by Will Eisner. Batfilm, OddLot, and Lionsgate are set to produce.[1] Frank Miller wrote and directed the film, which stars Gabriel Macht as The Spirit and Samuel L. Jackson as his nemesis, The Octopus. Filming began in October 2007, with release scheduled for Christmas Day, 2008. [b]Premise[/b] Writer-director Frank Miller described the main character: The film series will not begin with an origin story, but will instead open with the adventures of The Spirit already having begun.[4] The film will be more contemporary than the '40s and '50s era of the strip and will aim for a "timeless feel." The protagonist will be involved in a love triangle with Sand Saref and Ellen Dolan, the daughter of Central City's Police Commissioner Dolan. The controversial character Ebony White will not appear in the film. [b]Cast[/b] * Gabriel Macht as Denny Colt / The Spirit: A rookie cop who returns from the dead to fight crime in Central City from the shadows.

Jackson was Miller's first choice for the role and was cast in May 2007. * Scarlett Johansson as Silken Floss: A femme fatale secretary and accomplice to the Octopus. * Eva Mendes as Sand Saref.
