Nega-Brent Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 "I'm the goddamn Spirit!" Frank Miller will write and direct a film adaptation of the late Will Eisner's classic middle-class crime-fighting detective, the Spirit! I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing. I'm sure Miller is a competant director after Sin City, but his writing has been "iffy" lately. Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 i thought a bit about it, and i guess if there HAS to be a Spirit movie, i'm glad he's doing it Link to comment
LeadingMan Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 To be honest I dunno about this one. Miller's typical work is waaay to gritty for the Spirit. And I mean of all the properties on earth that shouldn't be disrespected Will Eisner's the Spirit is up there. There's a reason they call the award for comics the Eisner award... And it ain't because he was having his character rip off yellow people's testicles. Link to comment
TeleportSandwich Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Frank Miller is gonna give Neo-Noir a bad name, I just know it. Also, I think Sin City would've been better if it was done like this movie Link to comment

Also, I think Sin City would've been better if it was done like this movie Sin City was done just about as well as you could hope for a comic book movie. It's probably the best comic to film translation to date. Link to comment
Natsu Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I bet Eisner will turn in his grave if its done poorly..but I dunno if Miller will do a good rendition of The Spirit to film..I mean if Eisner had his hand in it then yeah, we jus gotta wait and see. Link to comment
LeadingMan Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 "It will be a serious, not tongue-in-cheek like the source." Ouch. Not only a bad sentence but bad news. Link to comment

Yeah, he might as well have said, "the movie is going to be called Frank Miller's The Spirit." Not everything has to be dark and gritty Mr. Miller. Link to comment
Natsu Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 oh well..shit happens.. Thats Miller's style and he's gonna muck up "The Spirit"..thats his choice. Link to comment
The Masked Men Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Dear Frank Miller, I've got a chair with your fucking name on it, buddy. Don't screw this up. Sincerely, Masked Man #2 Link to comment
