Frank Miller, flushed with success from his co-directing gig on the visually ravishing Sin City flick, is to direct the movie based on Will Eisner’s classic The Spirit works according to Comics Continuum. The film is being produced by Michael Uslan, the man behind the Batman movies among many others and a huge comics buff himself. Miller, a friend of Eisner, told Variety:
“When (Uslan) invited me to do this, first I said I can’t do this and then I said I can’t let anybody else touch it. I intend to be extremely faithful to the heart and soul of the material, but it won’t be nostalgic. It will be much scarier than people expect.”
