The Spirit is the comic book-inspired film starring Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendez, Samuel L. Jackson, and Gabriel Macht.

Directed by Frank Miller, the film was based on a character created by Will Eisner. What separates this hero from other fictional crime fighters like Batman, Superman and a slew of others is the fact that The Spirit wears a business suit with a small mask, a red tie and a fedora hat.
Back in the 1940s, Eisner said his editors “wanted a heroic character, a costumed character. They asked me if he’d have a costume. And I put a mask on him and said, ‘Yes, he has a costume!’”

The Spirit’s theatrical release in the USA is December 25th.

According to Wikipedia, Eisner notesd in reference to his comic book creation, "The new series "gave me an adult audience," Eisner said in 1997, "and I wanted to write better things than super-heroes. Comic books were a ghetto. I sold my part of the enterprise to my associate and then began The Spirit. (aceshowbiz)

Like to see this movie, or on DVD. Matinee is cheaper for any movie these days vs Nighttime shows. Saturday matinees are tradit where I live

I just came back from watching this at the cinema. Awful awful awful. Pretty much waste of money and time. The only good thing were the overly sexy eva mendes bits, but we can see that for free here at Trendhunter.

Ayman, thanks for the heads up; I thought this movie looked a little ridiculous, but was going to see it anyway because of the cast. Guess I'll skip this one... I'll save my coin for New York, I Love You; He's Just Not That Into You; Confessions of a Shopaholic (can it get girlier?)
