God I hope that scene at the end drops into super-slow-motion so a dove can fly between them. It's the only justification for yet another two-dudes-leaping-at-each-other shot.
If it hasn't already been mentioned, the director said that scene is going to be 26 minutes of Hulk/Abomination ass-kicking.

The feel of Watchmen is shaping up to be really close to the book, in my opinion.

I know pretty much nothing about The Spirit. But I want to know what the deal with the cats is.

It's Frank Miller's The Spirit, which means it is probably going to be what The Spirit would be like if the Spirit existed in Sin City.

fuck it, the spirit looks fun. i really dig the original, and even a lot of the non-action eisner stuff also. this is clearly going to be nothing like it which i'm cool with. this seems like it'll have a kind of rad vibe goin' on its own.

from the pics, it looks like it'll have a 'the mask' (not with cher) or 'dick tracy' kind of look to it.

Those pictures would look cool if they were for any movie other than the Spirit

But since they are not they are horrible

Ah, yes. I'd heard about those pics- apparently, they were leaked, and Lions Gate was none too happy.

Sin City 2 is set to come out around a year after The Spirit. Frank Miller fans, prepare to be polarized.

I think Miller has drawn too much attention, and his work just won't stand up under the scrutiny he's going to attract. I've already gone from love (Sin City and its adaptaion, first reading of DKR), to lukewarm enjoyment (Daredevil, Wolverine), to loathing (DKSA, 300 and its adaptation, the one he does with Jim Lee, subsequent readings of DKR). Overexposure is probably a factor too.

I liked 300 (both the comic and the movie) but yeah, I agree basically

I look forward to Sin City 2 though

I saw that earlier. While it looks pretty weird (what not with the obvious green screen and Maggie's half-assed delivery), it's still pretty cool that they got an actual cast member to participate in the viral marketing.

Speaking of which, I'm amused by the amount of people who thought that's real footage from the movie instead of something created exclusively for the viral marketing.

I'm waiting for Frank Miller's All Star Batman & Robin: The Animated Series!

Maybe because it's primarily green screen and blue doesn't show up to well so they are going to change the color post production?
