Here are two new posters from Frank Miller’s The Spirit. The first one is of The Spirit (Gabriel Macht), standing at the wrong end of two big guns, body full of bullet holes and not seeming to care. The other poster is the reverse angle of Samuel L. Jackson as The Octopus, gripping said guns and looking mad as hell that his bullets can’t seem to take down The Spirit.
Interesting concept, but is it enough to rebuke all the rampant rumors stating that The Spirit is going to be crap?

Screen Rant’s own Vic Holtreman was at Comic-Con this year for Frank Miller’s Spirit panel. He tried to be upbeat about what he saw, but didn’t sound too convinced, and he didn’t feel the movie will have mass appeal. I happened to catch some of the footage leaked from Comic-Con before it was yanked off the Web, and, I have to say, he was being kind. (And this is coming from a Frank Miller devotee.)
However, I stand for the truth first and foremost: and in this case, the truth is that The Spirit is a movie that is going to be majorly offbeat, a bit awkward – yet stylistically ambitious as well. Basically the end result of Frank Miller being handed a camera and given (maybe too much?) free reign.
Finally, while the teaser trailer made The Spirit out to be a potentially cool movie, there’s no doubt in my mind that the full trailer has managed to alienate a few viewers. But then again, we’ll have to wait for Christmas day, 2008 to know for sure; I’m sure a lot of people underestimated Sin City when it came out, and look how well that ended up doing…
Check out the posters and let us know what you think.

I went back and re-read what I wrote – and don’t ask me why, but I was VERY gentle when I wrote my reaction to what I saw at Comic-Con.
I think maybe I was just stunned by what I had just seen, and couldn’t wrap my brain around how truly awful it looked while sitting there staring at the legendary Frank Miller on stage.
Believe me, this thing looks like it has “stinker” written all over it. I’d be happy to be wrong – but I don’t think I will be.

Yeah, I’m a projectionist so i’ve seen the trailer like a thousand times and it just looks like crap, luckily the Watchmen trailer was always after and looked amazing.
So far, I have to agree. I don’t like it at all. I hope the movie is better edited than that trailer.
The first poster looks cool, though.
