The Spirit Coming to the Big Screen

It looks like they are trying to bring the classic comic book “The Spirit” by Will Eisner to the big screen:

Frank Miller Has Got “The Spirit”

“Frank Miller, the famous graphic novelist turned director will be moving from his own work by taking Will Eisner’s classic “The Spirit” and adapting it for the big screen. “We’re working on the script right now,” commented Miller at the LA premiere of ‘300.’ “We’ve got a good strong story to work with, and we’re hoping to be in production either spring [2007] or [this] fall .”

Miller promises fans of the series that, “it’ll be very faithful to the books.” Miller also indicated in the interview with IGN that he has one actor (who he wouldn’t name) in mind for the role of the hero.”
