You may have been one of the folks who got the chance to see the rough photos from the green-screen set of Will Eisner's The Spirit, the adaptation of the classic character by first-time director Frank Miller. If you did see them before Lionsgate pulled them, you were probably fairly disappointed with how the film was looking. But no worries! Lionsgate released new finished photos from the film, and they seem to fairly shout "Look! We're more like Sin City or 300 then Batman & Robin!"

The two photos feature Samuel L. Jackson as The Octopus - the Spirit's long-time archenemy, and Scarlett Johansson as Silken Floss, a jewel thief and one of the many femme fatales in The Spirit's life.

The first trailer for Will Eisner's The Spirit will air on April 19, 2008 at 7:00 EST.

Will Eisner's The Spirit opens January 16th, 2009, and stars Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, Sarah Paulson, Dan Lauria, Stana Katic, Johnny Simmons, Louis Lombardi, Jamie King and Paz Vega.

"Adapted from the legendary Will Eisner's graphic novels, "The Spirit" tells the visceral, action-packed story of a man who fakes his own death and fights crime from the shadows of Central City. The Octopus -- who kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face -- has a different mission: he's going to wipe out the entire city. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront... all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader. In the vein of "Batman Begins" and "Sin City," "The Spirit" takes us on a sinister, gut-wrenching ride of a hero who is born, murdered and born again."

I just got that from movieweb's plot synopsis of the movie. Try looking things up, tom goddamn. heh, heh, heh
