New Poster: The Spirit

Posted by dominie in Comics, Films, News on October 16th, 2008

A new poster for Frank Miller’s (300, Sin City) The Spirit has just surfaced on First Showing; the best one yet in my opinion. The film, written and directed by Miller based on Will Eisner’s comic strip of the same name, is set to open from Lionsgate on December 25, Christmas Day. Miller’s adaptation will tell the story of a man, Denny Colt (played by Gabriel Macht) who fakes his own death to fight crime from the shadows of Central City.

A synopsis from IMDB:

Down these mean streets a man must come. A hero born, murdered, and born again. When a Rookie cop named Denny Colt returns from the beyond as The Spirit, a hero whose mission is to fight against the bad forces from the shadows of Central City. The Octopus who kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face who has other plans. He’s going to wipe out the entire city. The Spirit tracks this cold hearted killer from the 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 the masked crusader.
