Will Eisner's The Spirit
After a slow Thursday Friday is kicking off with some cool updates. One such update is a new blog from Frank Miller on The Spirit.
The Spirit Blog Update
The good people at SHH have received a new blog update from Frank Miller on The Spirit. The director felt it necessary to discuss The Spirit's not-so-traditional appearance.
Much has been the fuss in the comics' blogosphere about my SPIRIT movie—much justified, much hoped for, and much to my delight, that there has been a fuss at all. Some comics readers are terrified that THE SPIRIT will be a retread of my SIN CITY. Others quarrel over the change of the SPIRIT'S traditional blue hat, mask, and jacket, to black. These are understandable concerns for any lover of Will Eisner's masterpiece. I take this opportunity to address these concerns. With glee, I take this opportunity.
THE SPIRIT is, with every effort I give it, not a rusty, dusty old monument to the work of my beloved Mentor, so much as it is an extension of what I know to have been Eisner's central intent: to create something new, witty, and exploratory. That's what he did. That's what I'm doing. [more]
Will Eisner's The Spirit opens to theaters on December 25th.
