Some more (finalized) SPIRIT pics materialize!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Last week Dark Horizons ran a bunch of unauthorized raw behind the scenes pics from Frank Miller's Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT. Lotsa greenscreen there... and they got pulled pretty quickly. I'm guessing Lionsgate has had these authorized ones rushed out to give everybody a more solid idea of what the film will look like. It's not much, but I gotta say that's an absolutely gorgeous shot of Scarlett Johansson's purty face.
Anyway, here they be! Enjoy!

-
Second shot looks awesome. First shot looks like absolute shite! THAT'S a publicity shot? My arse it is.

Let's see the Miller Fans say this is true to Eisner.

Call it "Robert Rodríguez' The Spirit", and call it a night. Denny Colt wears BLUE.
-
Not that that's a bad thing but you can't tell how Eisnerish this is going to be from these pics.
-
was actually not half bad.
-
What's the point, then? Make him a bit grey, but something... FART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Curious to see if I can tell how much of him as a director was in Sin City compared to this one...
-
if I had my choice to ravage either of the two leads of "Ghost World" I would pick Thora Birch long before I'd bother with Johansson.
Scarlett's really good at pushing her smallish tits up and together to creat the illusion that she's actually got cleavage, and she's got perhaps the best makeup artists in the business applying liberal amounts of chemicals to her face to highlight her best features, and she manages to pick parts where she can basically play herself with all the expertise that requires, but she's not remotely interesting when you boil her down to basics.
Now Birch: Large, pendulous breasts- REAL ones- and curves like a woman should have. Looks great in no makeup, or with heavy makeup. Can play a sweet, sarcastic woman or a mentally-imbalanced psychopath. Doesn't have the vacant look in her eyes like Johansson, either.
At this point, casting Johansson is stunt casting. People don't watch her movies to watch her acting. They go because she's become known for her ersatz cleavage and are waiting with baited breath for her to finally whip those puppies out.
Meanwhile, Birch was confident enough in her sweater kittens to whip them out when she was 17, much to the enjoyment of everyone who paused the fuck out of "American Beauty."
Johansson is seriously overrated. Hollywood is ridiculously obsessed with vapid, skinny chicks who can't act, and constantly overlooks the curvy women who know the craft. -
I gotta disagree with you... Scarlett's purdy.
-
Don't know why I just wrote "purdy." Maybe I subconsciously want to be Lenny to her mouse. I'm not sure what that means either, besides I need to get more sleep.
-
the only one that was up was him hiding in a body bag. you can see a glimpse of the scene in the trailer when he says "why so serious". there a black bag over his shoulders. it stays in the movie.

I was excited about this when the news came up about the cast an
by kungfuhustler84
...but the more I see of this the less I care. Those just look like some pictures of a Sin City sequel. don't get me wrong, I cannot wait for Sin City 2, but this is the Spirit we are talking about. Something totally different.
-
"FAIL!"
-
...not FRANK MILLER'S "THE DARK SPIRIT CITY 300". I have seen every comic book related movie besides CATWOMAN - I will not be seeing this one. Shame on you, Frank.
-
my thought balloons about scarlett are like nc17, etc, etc...
-
I would choose her over lots of chicks in Hollywood. She just looks like a fun chick and her body's kickin'. Zooey Deschanel beats out Johannsen as well, I'm afraid.
-
Wouldn't Thora Birch be perfect for Power Girl in a JSA movie? And yes you will see it. Don't lie. You just won't buy the special edition DVD. Personally, I look forward to seeing what happens when people unfamiliar with Frank Miller go to the movies expecting to see some quality Sin City, Dark Knight Returns type stuff and they end up with The Goddamn Spirit courtesy of the modern day Hollywood coke-fiend Frank Miller.
-
No way man. Zooey Deschanel is cute, as in she has a nice face, but nobody can beat Johannsen in terms of raw hotness. The way I see it:
Zooey = face fuck
Scarlett = pussy/ass/tit fuck -
It's gonna suck? Based on 2 stills? STILLS?!?!?! ENOUGH WITH THE STUPIDITY ON THIS BOARD! So the stills look a bit Sin City'ish, so what? AT LEAST wait for the trailer before you condemn. Maybe it will be more Dick Tracy than Sin City, and even if it's Sin City XII, who cares if it's good?
-
Who cares, if it's good. That's what I meant. Not "who cares if it's good [or not]." Capice?
-
Great stuff man, great stuff.
-
Nobodies cutting nothing. Keep your panties on. Jeezus.
-
Talk backwards again, talk backwards again, talk backwards again...
-
one less fool in my way, nice...
-
Some friend you are, Frank. Did Eisner give you permission to sodomize his corpse in his will?
Stick to producing your own crap from now on.
-
suggests that the electrical tape needs to be unwrapped from the nose-bridge of the geek-in-question's coke bottle glasses, and some thicker lenses be installed. Clearly, the vision must be questioned, as well as the judgement!
-
God, 300 is the worst film I've seen in at least a decade. If we could only harness the colossal stupidity of that film in the form of energy then we could solve the energy problem for the next century.

I'm seeing Harold and Kumar instead

I'm seeing Harold and Kumar instead.
-
Google that shit. Excellent.
-
Scarlett Johansen is a dumb bimbo that couldn't act her way out of a date with Terrence Howard. ZING!
-
...you know - the guy that can't act worth a shit.
-
and this still does nothing for me. Zero excitement. How can two pictures alone ruin your ectasy thet should be in high gear for a film that in every way should excite you? 0. ZERO ORIGINALITY. I feel like I have already seen this. I can't wait for Sin City 2. Maybe somebody will rent this someday and I will watch it. til then...see ya.
-
...controlling the pre-release image of the Octopus? Very possibly. Those green screen images were probably not outwardly hetero enough (not that I'm seeing something too pink friendly in Frank Miller's work)
-
not shit.
-
I got to find out Denny Colt dressed in blue & that I've been colour-blind for years! Thank you Miller for screwing up the iconography of a legend or I might have gone the rest of my life confusing purple & blue. Now we'll just wait around for this dreck to be released & watch it reanimate Eisner's zombie corpse, ready to pursue you to the ends of the earth for violating the spirit's...spirit & also for robocop 2 cause you fucking deserve it!!
-
a former porn star....just check out deep throat to see her work....and i cant figure out why hollywood hates thora...maybe its cuz she has a brain that matches the boobs....both are big....and colt was never meant to be in blue...as has been discussed, blue was always used instead of black...just like spidey's colors were never meant to be blue and red, but black and red...
-
I saw the pics on CHUD before they removed them, SLJ looks like a flaming gay pimp decked in purple.
-
Is that code for fucking awful pics? These 2 do look better than the other trainwrecks but still nothing special about 'em.
-
On Wednesday at University of Illinois. I'm not an Apatow fanboy, I didn't really like Superbad that much, but I have to say this movie is very funny. Segel does a great job as the lead and Russell Brand is also very funny. I'm not a plant, I'm just saying I don't think Sarah Marshall will bomb based on word of mouth alone.
-
And fuck your hacky 'Mickey Spillane for twelve-year-olds' bullshit writing. Yeah, you wrote some good shit two decades ago, but it's all been downhill ever since you coked-up vulture. Way to rape Eisner you has-been.
-
I want to accept All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder as a joke and laugh at all the stupid writing, but I get this creeping feeling he may have actually just lost it. Frank, write us a good comic again!!!
-
Sam Jackson would make a cool Agent Graves, next to Terrance Stamp.
-
You can see the jpgs jaggies and edge around the shadows behind Jackson. What kind of a company release compressed images with jaggies and edge to the web ? Only amateurs I guess.
-
You can mix it up between stand-alone and serialized stories, kind of like what The X-Files did. I don't know why television hasn't realized there are a ton of comic properties that can be adapted.
-
And all actors are overrated or just terrible. And all writing is hackneyed, or just terrible. And everything looks fake. And everything is stupid. And, and, fuckin' and....
-
dude you are seriously misguided. Scarlett is a great actress and one of the best of our generation. THora Birtch was awesome in Ghost World but Scarlett gave a stellar performance in it also. Please give her some props.
-
He's been riding on his Pulp Fiction performance for 15 years now.

Green screen equals garbage
An over reliance on green screen causes major problems in your film.
Take Sin City, while a good film the first time I saw it. The second time the film became unwatchable. The acting was stiff. The entire film felt claustrophobic, as if you were watching it occur in a box. It was like watching a play without the conventions that allow a play to not feel so limited.
So, can the all green screen shit. It is a mistake.
Feel free to use green screen to spice things up. Just don't use green screen as your set. -
So you say Scarlett has tiny breats?
Not according to these nude photos.
http://hothottie.com/7/scarlett-johansson-hot-pictures/ -
When did she pose nude? At first I thought..photohop! but, she has skinny legs, nice hips but skinny legs and it shows in the pic. I'm shocked she got buck naked like that.
-
About those Johannsen tits. Maybe when I see them in person...

Why repeat SIN CITY all over again? Eisner deserves better
by proman1984
Miller should stay away.
-
The pictures, I mean.
-
...are gay.
-
...are not...
-
...movie whore...
-
Thanks. Yeah, I knew about Thora's mom. Her parents are why she's so cool.
And I'm glad someone else out there knows that Spider-Man was supposed to be red & black. The blue was originally meant to be highlights in the black, much like Superman had blue highlights in his black hair.
Scarlett fans: Worst thing about Johansson? Her voice. She sounds like an old woman who smoked too much with a bad head cold. -
Half of those are FAKE, and the other half show what I meant: Her tits are only "big" when they're pushed up. I never said she was 'tiny' but I did say she creates an illusion of cleavage by pushing up/pushing together her tits.
I wouldn't turn them down. I would just rather have a crack at Thora's, because at least SHE could hold up a conversation, as well as looking hot. Scarlett comes off as being a really dumb girl. -
Scarlett is packin' tits. I don't know what this guy's talking about. And oh yeah, piss all over the Goddman spirit with your one-note CGI backgrounds. Obviously, he picked up one thing from RR.
-
...in comic and graphic novels. All that CGI thing is not my cup of tea. But i´m not against it.
-
Frank Miller is a unique guy who can make something incredibly special or something very disappointing,...but I'm in favor of this flick. If "SIN CITY" is any sign of what the man is capable of as a movie director, than we should have nothing to worry about. Good luck, Frank.
