Not a whole lot hitting the shelves this week, just the Best Picture nominee you didn’t see (The Reader) and the attempted blockbuster that absolutely nobody saw (The Spirit). Luckily, we have all 8 seasons of “Wings” to tide us over until next week!
Check out below to see what else is new on DVD this week…
As some of you may already know Frank Miller, sketched and storyboarded the entire film The Spirit before he shot it. Many of his sketches will be released in his book “The Spirit: The Movie Visual Companion.” Below are two sneak peeks of what you’ll be seeing in his book and in his film.
The first picture shows the Spirit (Gabriel Macht) on a rooftop and the second shows him and the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) is what is most liklely about to be a kick ass action scene.
If you’re looking for crazy special effects, you’re not going to find them here, but if you’re interested in seeing where The Spirit came from these are pretty cool. Check out the artwork below…
I actually like it better than the first. Maybe I would like the entire film better if I couldn’t understand it. What do you think?
The Spirit will be hitting theaters Christmas Day. The film has already been receiving a lot of slack for it’s cheese factor. Although one thing is for damn sure. Frank Miller wanted some damn fine ladies to play the roles in the film and he sure as hell got them.
Check out this little clip of all The Spirit‘s women…
After the first Spirit trailer came out (view here), I got a bit worried. It’s nice to mix action with cheesy, but there’s a fine line that not everyone can walk. The new trailer is more like a music video with action, than an action movie with music. It’s not often that the second trailer is shorter than the first, but hey! It’s better!
Check out the trailer for Frank Miller’s new film The Spirit starring Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johansson below and tell us what you think…
Well, with Frank Miller at the helm there is (was) hope for The Spirit. But this new trailer is just not cutting it for me. Miller walks the line between visionary and cheesy, which when done right adds a flare of humor to the dark and odd. But if not pulled off, it just comes off as pointless. Hopefully the movie will revive what this trailer has killed.
But don’t listen to me, watch for yourself and tell us what you think:
