Warning: This City Is Protected by 'The Spirit'
Thursday, July 31, 2008 at 5:13PM
Even though it wasn't as warmly received at Comic Con as
you might have thought, I still expect
The Spirit to generate plenty of hype in
October and November, as its Christmas release draws nearer. I've heard from a
couple of people that they don't get why this has to look exactly like Sin
City; I've heard from others who think the trailer looks cheap; and I've
heard from people who claim to know about these things that
Frank Miller doesn't have the right sensibility
to bring
Will Eisner's story to life the proper way.
We'll see how they feel about it a couple months down
the line when more trailers and clips make their way to us. In the meantime, we
have a new addition to the Spirit poster gallery. This is the
Neighborhood Watch design and it's easily the best poster so far. The character
posters all follow a simple pattern and the first couple of teaser posters
weren't terribly memorable.
I like this one, however. It tells the story, sets up
the color palette, and keeps it simple. We saw it first at
IMP Awards, so hit 'em up sometime if you ever
want a movie poster fix.
