Will Eisner's The Spirit
Lionsgate has begun screening The Spirit and the first response (we have seen) claims the film is more akin to Looney Toons than Sin City.
The Spirit Screened
The good people at AICN have received a screening report for an early viewing of The Spirit. Now remember, a lot can change between now and the film's theatrical release.
The answer is that the picture he made is closer to the movie “Shoot ‘em Up” than anything Miller or Eisner have done before (That means no “I’m the Goddamn Spirit”).
The violence is very over the top and cartoony in a Looney Toons style. The first fight, for instance, which takes place after an extended version of the “City is my Mother and Lover” roof-jumping scene we’ve all seen in the trailer, consists of Spirit and the Octopus beating the crap out of each other in a pond by pulling all sorts of weapons and blunt objects out of the water and bashing each other with them.
Check out the entire screening report on The Spirit at AICN.
Will Eisner's The Spirit opens to theaters on December 25th.
