SCI FI PI

Hard to believe that a 40's something comic could somehow be translated to present day filmed entertainment - and it seems that the rather tenuous response to The Spirit's previous trailers has seemed to bear out just how huge a leap that can be.

But if anyone can do it, Frank Miller can.

Have a look at these pics and start to feel good about The Spirit again.

It's coming out on Boxing Day, and whilst it hasn't quite had the uber-hype that Watchmen has, it may just surprise us all.

We've got a nice selection of poster art and some key stills for you to get back into the truly two dimensional, two colour (well, maybe three) world of Frank Miller.
