The Spirit comes to life Christmas Day
It is fitting that one of the most anticipated movies coming out into theaters gets an introduction that does it justice. The Spirit, one of the most celebrated graphic novels of our time comes to the big screen on Christmas day. The movie and graphic novel revolves around Denny Colt, a rookie cop that gets killed in the line of duty, but returns to exact justice. The Spirit is a graphic novel created by Will Eisner in the 1940’s but its popularity far surpassed his expectations. The movie version looks to stay true to the characters in the novel. Gabriel Macht will play Denny Colt, Samuel L. Jackson will play The Octopus, and Eva Mendez will play Sand Saref. Ebony White will not appear in the film, but played a prominent part in the series, as the sidekick to The Spirit. Ebony is an African-American who was introduced by Eisner in the late-40’s to early 50’s at a time where race was a forefront of society. This novel follows Denny in a number of scenarios that revolve around, ultimately, his drive to rid evil. It is argued that Batman was created by the inspiration of the Spirit. Ultimately, the graphic novel lasted for 50 years with several different publishers. The Spirit will be directed by Frank Miller, director of Sin City 1-3. His creative genius will bring another coveted graphic novel to life. The Spirit will live on.
