Paz Vega
The cast for Will Eisner's The Spirit is getting big. Though the production can already tout Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, Samuel L. Jackson, Gabriel Macht, Sarah Paulson, Dan Lauria, Stana Katic, Johnny Simmons and Louis Lombardi as being part of the callsheet, Lionsgate figured they might as well include a couple more (attractive) ladies.
Paz Vega, Jamie King for The Spirit
Paz Vega and Jamie King have joined the cast of Will Eisner'sThe Spirit, the graphic novel adaptation to be directed by Frank Miller. The action-adventure centers on a rookie cop who returns from the dead to fight crime from the shadows.
Vega will play the knife-wielding Plaster of Paris, and King will portray Lorelei, a phantom siren.
Principal photography began today in New Mexico.
Lionsgate is working with Odd Lot Entertainment to get the film canned in time for release on January 16th, 2009. The production got just enough start to likely avoid the oncoming strike.
