We’ve been keeping you updated on THE SPIRIT for a while now, our last update being over here.
In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, THE SPIRIT is a gritty superhero-esque flick based on Will Eisner’s comic. The talented Frank Miller is writing and directing. The simple synopsis reads: Rookie cop Denny Colt returns from the beyond as The Spirit, a hero whose mission is to fight against the bad forces in Central City.
It’s got an all star cast of Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes (below), Jamie King, Paz Vega, Stana Katic, Sarah Paulson, Gabriel Macht, and Samuel L. Jackson. The only reason Macht and Jackson are listed there is because Machet is playing the titular character and Samuel L. Jackson is.. well… Samuel L. Jackson. Plus Jackson will be playing the main villan! So how is this flick not shaping up to be awesome?
Well we’ve got a few updates today for you coming in from IGN. Those updates being when Lionsgate will let us see the teaser trailer and the teaster poster for THE SPIRIT.
The answers? April 19. New York Comic Con’s IGN Theater. It’s set. Frank Miller and Eva Mendes will be at the event for a panel and autograph session. For more info, head over here.
