Frank Miller (Sin City) talked to Variety about writing and directing The Spirit for Lionsgate. Here’s a clip:
When tasked with selecting the right hook from 12 years of “The Spirit” comics, Miller embraced an old favorite. “It’s the story of Sand Saref,” he says, referring to a plot that first ran in newspapers on Jan. 8, 1950, full of danger-laced romance, espionage and early germ-warfare elements. “It’s about the first love of Spirit’s life, who has turned to a life of crime, and he has to bring her to justice.”
He also talks a bit more about the Sin City sequel at the link above.
