Frank Miller and Samuel L. Jackson recently chatted up MTV News and revealed new details about 'The Spirit' movie. Miller will direct the film this year from his own script. Jackson is set to star as the villainous Octopus.
Miller told MTV News that he'll use the green screen techniques seen in adaptations of this books 'Sin City' and '300'.
"It will be similar [to 'Sin City' and '300'] in terms of using the expanding technology that was used in those movies [to visualize the comic world]," Miller said. "But I hope to take things a step further, of course."
Jackson also confirmed his involvement in the project.
When asked if his involvement as the flick's villain, Octopus, was a done deal, he said, "As far as I'm concerned it is. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, I'm anxious to find out what [Miller] wants me to look like, how we want to do it and when we want to start."
Look for cameras to roll this year:
"It's coming together really well the script's all written, and we're going to get working on storyboarding and all the preproduction," [Miller] said, indicating that many of the shots in the movie will be taken directly from Eisner's comic panels. "I'm going to be doing a lot of [supplemental] drawing in the next few months."
