The Spirit, as adapted by Frank Miller
rynne:
I'm a bit suspicious about Miller calling it Wil Eisner's The Spirit when he's completely revamping the visuals in his own image. Honestly, I'm wary abou the Sin City-fication of the movie in general, but it seems even more dissonant to put Eisner's name in the titles while doing away with the Eisner's signature visual style.
TheFuriousWombat:
There already was a 'Sin City' and another one is on the way. I really don't think we need a third movie with those particular aesthetics.
pilsner:
Couldn't disagree with you more. I'd be perfectly happy to see 100 more movies in the Sin City style direct and literal translation from the graphic novel. All they're doing is animating an already great graphic novel with the nominal use of real actors. Although it will probably not have the emotional resonance of the original graphic novel, for a fan I can't see how these movies are bad thing.
RobbieOC:
Well, part of it, it seems, is that The Spirit wasn't the same style, in the comics, as Sin City was. So, it seems silly to do it in the same style in the movies. It's a great style for Sin City, but people wonder if it will work as well for The Spirit, which should feel much more campy or superhero-like. It's not doing a direct translation that is the problem, I don't think.
Scandanavian War Machine:
well, this could go one of two ways, based on prior excursions into similar territory.
1) it could be great. precedent: South Park doing traditional 'south park stuff' with other styles i.e. WoW or the ninja 'anime' episode.
2) it could be terrible. precedent: um...well, there was....uh...you know...OKAY I DON'T KNOW
in summary: i will probably see this movie regardless. so i guess we'll just have to see what happens?
