The Spirit Movie Teaser Trailer
This weekend at New York Comic Con, writer, artist, & now director, Frank Miller, unveiled his trailer to the film version of the classic, yet little known, Will Eisner character, The Spirit.
At this teaser, all I can I say, I'm extremely disappointed.
When I first heard that Frank Miller was directing, I was worried because the way Sin City & 300 were filmed.
While these films are OK, the style is not good for the Spirit.
The Spirit is more light & airy then Miller's darker style.
As I can't fully judge until I see the full trailer, I'm currently extremely unhappy.
And really want to slap around Miller.
Even some of the Spirit's darkest stories, have never been Miller grim.
That cheezy TV movie with Sam Jones was more true to the original material than this.
What really doesn't make sense that in the book "Eisner/Miller", Miller seems to get the Spirit.
I guess not.
I understand we are modernizing the Spirit a little but this is ridiculous.
Miller should have read Darwyn Cooke's run on The Spirit.
Cooke was able to modernize The Spirit without destroying the original material.
But the really sad part is, I'm still going to pay to see this movie.
Will Eisner is turning over in his grave.

Unleash the Force with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Battle Rancor with Felucian Rider and Saddle
A disturbance in the Force has once again taken shape with the emergence of a new twist on the legendary struggle between the dark side and the light side. With the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video game, you become Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice, stealthily traveling the galaxy on a mission handed down by Darth Vader himself.
The new Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Battle Rancor with Felucian Rider introduces the Felucians, native inhabitants of the jungle planet Felucia. These Force-sensitive warriors have learned to tame deadly rancors and ride them into battle. This fearsome figure and creature combo is accurate to the videogame and includes a hidden code to be used in the game. The decision to carry out the Dark Lord’s will may be a difficult on in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, but collecting the Rancor with rider is not!
Battle Rancor with Felucian Rider and Saddle
The Force-sensitive Felucians patrol their jungle homeworld astride ferocious rancors that are marked with luminous warpaint. Together, a Felucian warrior and his rancor mount pose a formidable threat to even the most skilled Sith warrior. Felucia is heavily forested with fungal life forms and immense primitive plants that can be dangerous when disturbed. As one of the planets caught in the Clone Wars, Felucia becomes a battleground between opposing sides, pulling the native Felucians into the midst of the conflict.
Rancors are savage creatures that have been domesticated by the Felucians and other species in the galaxy. Only those who are attuned to the Force can successfully tame these menacing monsters. Even when tamed, a rancor can be unpredictable and must be treated with caution and respect.
The new Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Battle Rancor with Felucian rider and saddle will bring a new level to the intricate story that keeps unfolding to reveal the power that exists within the dark side of the Force.
Climb on board a savage rancor, strap yourself in and be prepared for an action packed ride available at Target.
May the Force be with you and stay tuned for more information from Hasbro!

DC COMICS & SIERRA ENTERTAINMENT TO PUBLISH NEW COMIC SERIES BASED ON PROTOTYPE VIDEO GAME
DC Comics and Sierra Entertainment Ink Deal To Create an All-New Comic Book Series Based on PROTOTYPE™ – One of the Most Anticipated Video Games of 2008
DC Comics, the largest English language comic book publisher in the world, and Sierra Entertainment – a division of Vivendi Games, today announced plans to publish an all-new comic book series based on the eagerly anticipated and already highly acclaimed open-world/action video game PROTOTYPE™. The series is set to debut this August via DC’s WildStorm imprint, and the addition of such unique, original IP video games like PROTOTYPE is sure to increase their successful line of best-selling comics based on licensed properties. Further details surrounding the new comic book series will be announced later this year.
PROTOTYPE puts gamers in control of Alex Mercer – a genetically mutated shape-shifter with no memory of his past hell-bent on solving the mystery of his existence – as he tears through a densely populated New York City moving with Parkour-style fluidity and consuming anybody that gets in his way…assuming their physical identity, memories and abilities. Fueled by a three way war between Alex, the military and its elite Blackwatch division, and a viral outbreak known as the Infected, players will venture deep into a dark conspiracy 40 years in the making.
“PROTOTYPE is all about shape-shifting action, and we’re using that key element to redefine the open-world game space,” said Al Simone, Sr. VP of Global Marketing, Sierra Entertainment. “Another key feature setting PROTOTYPE apart from other open-world games is its incredibly deep, conspiracy-based back-story, and by joining forces with the largest comic book publisher in the world – DC Comics – we can bring this new anti-hero and his tale to an even wider audience of comics fans and gamers alike.”
“We’re blown away with what Sierra and developer Radical Entertainment have shown us of PROTOTYPE, and know with absolute certainty that this will make for a terrific comic book,” said Hank Kanalz, VP & General Manager, WildStorm. “PROTOTYPE’s back-story, visuals and gameplay are stunning, and we have every intention of bringing those core pillars to our book because this is a great opportunity to expand on the world they’ve created, and build something new and interesting for comics fans.”
PROTOTYPE delivers a fresh take on open-world games, with key features separating the game from the rest of the pack, including the anti-hero main character Alex Mercer and his deadly shape-shifting abilities, a stunning representation of New York City circa 2008 as the backdrop, and ‘Deceive or Destroy’ gameplay allowing players the choice to either blend in with the population or fully unleash Alex’s deadly powers. With Radical Entertainment behind the wheel using their innovative ‘Titanium’ game engine, and touting a catalog of successful titles including the highly acclaimed The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, Simpsons Hit & Run and others, PROTOTYPE is aligned to be the ground-breaking open-world/action experience gamers have been waiting for.
PROTOTYPE is planned to release this fall for next-gen console systems and the PC, and is currently rated “RP” (Rating Pending) by the ESRB. For more information on PROTOTYPE, be sure to visit the official game website located at www.prototypegame.com.
