If you see one movie next year
Scandanavian War Machine:
i know what it's about.
i don't know why Frank Miller would make a movie out of it and not bother creating a unique visual style for it or, heaven forbid, keeping some semblance of the original style from the comic (obviously updated for today's audiences).
instead he just took someone elses story and put a Sin City filter over the top of it. so i ask again: Why?
Siibillam-Law:
Hah, "it's a film about a vigilante who has to stop crime". Whoa, that sounds original
Man I'm so getting off my arse on Christmas Day to watch that.

In my family, it's a yearly tradition to go see a movie on Thanksgiving night and Christmas night. It started with our yearly trips to Disneyworld at Thanksgiving when I was little, and just kept going from there.

Well he worked on it, due to the unique way that comics were once created. See, character rights and who worked on them used to be the rights of the producers of the material. So most of the classic comics(Superman, Batman, etc.) have had many different authors, artists, etc., and that's what's happened to The Spirit, so he has actually helped to shape the character as he is now. Someone who works on a comic also has a huge potential to completely change it, just look at some of the Batman comics written by Miller. Also, in regards to the lighting: Sin City was set in a neo-noir style of artistry; The Spirit was originally set in a noir style, much the same as the Tracer Bullet style of Calvin and Hobbes. That's why the lighting is similiar: because Sin City took elements already present in a fairly old style of artistic lighting.

Oh so very true, the only reason I'm going is because I trust what Frank Miller's done and if he's the primary artistic motive force behind it, I wanna see it. Unfortunately, that's rather similar to Star Wars fans when Lucas started making more movies... However, Miller has yet to mess up really badly.

:-D
Though I can't imagine why they'd want to see that abomination. Of my money, if I'm gonn see one film next year, it'll be Watchmen.
