The Spirit
The Spirit is a live-action film based on the 1940s newspaper strip The Spirit, created by Will Eisner. Frank Miller (Sin City) is set to write and Direct...
Describing the main character Miller stated.....
“ The character has a terrifying side to him. This is a man who’s died and come back to life. So it twists into fantasy. And of course there are tons of women in it. There have to be — it’s The Spirit. They’re all in love with
him, and he’s in love with all of them. You might say he’s a bit of a slut. ” (Or a bit like me   )
The film will not be an origin story, but will immediately start following the adventures of The Spirit. The film will also be more contemporary than the '40s and '50s era of the strip and also 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 Commissioner Dolan. The controversial character Ebony White will not make an appearance in the film. (Ebony White is a Black sidekick to Denny Colt (The Spirit) and many considered him a racial steriotype....it sounds quite silly to me though)
Its got a great cast too.....
Gabriel Macht as Denny Colt / The Spirit, a rookie cop who returns from the dead to fight crime in Central City from the shadows. Miller had required actors who wanted the starring role to audition, and Macht was able to attain the role in August 2007.
Samuel L. Jackson as The Octopus, a villain who plans to wipe out all of Central City and will kill anyone unlucky enough to see his face. 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.
Sarah Paulson as Dr. Ellen Dolan, the police commissioner's daughter.
Dan Lauria as the police commissioner.
Stana Katic as a rookie cop.
Johnny Simmons as a young Denny Colt
Louis Lombardi as Phobos, one of the Octopus's henchmen.
Jaime King as Lorelei Rox.

Lionsgate has bumped up Frank Miller's adaptation of Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT out of 2009. It's now hitting Christmas Day '08. My guess is to get as much distance between it and WATCHMAN as possible, both are going to be hard edged comic book movies aimed at older geeks (meaning not children).
I'm looking forward to both projects I have to admit
