We haven’t talked much about Frank Miller’s upcoming film The Spirit in a while — and today is step one toward getting back on board with The Spirit — maybe.

When Lionsgate brought Frank Miller’s The Spirit to Comic-Con this year, it was in hopes that it would be embraced by true comic fans as just another great step in the world of adaptations. Unfortunately, it doesn’t all seem to be going as planned.

Throughout the weekend and into early next week we are going to do our best to bring you up to speed on what to expect when we bring you our live coverage from Comic-Con 2008. We begin with a few big ones…

The first full trailer for Frank Miller’s The Spirit has been leaked online and I’m not sure about you, but this thing just is not looking too great

The full event schedule for Comic-Con International 2008 has finally been released online via the official Comic-Con website. And just to give you a taste of what you should be looking out for, I have dug into the schedule and emerged with some of the can’t miss movie geek events.

Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendez… how could that duo get any hotter? By adding Sarah Paulson as Ellen Dolan, the whip-smart girl-next-door, and Jaime King as Loreli, a murderous French nightclub dancer, that’s how.

A new poster for The Spirit features the always alluring Scarlett Johansson as silky-smooth and devious bad girl Silken Floss. And as you can see, she is interested in keeping things kinky.

One of our readers just sent us over a brand new poster for the upcoming Frank Miller-directed comic adaptation The Spirit that has popped up over on Yahoo. The poster, like the most recent teaser from the NY Comic Con, features Eva Mendes as Sand Saref.

Frank Miller gets out in front of his critics, promising fans that The Spirit will not only be unlike Sin City, but it will also be an awesome film.

Lionsgate decides not to dump off Frank Miller’s highly anticipated directorial work in January, moving it over to be a comic-geek’s perfect Christmas gift.

Frank Miller wants to follow up The Spirit by directing his 1990 comic book project Hard Boiled, which features some of the most beautiful scenes of destruction you’ve ever seen. With fanboys still waiting for a finished version of The Spirit, any ideas how this will turn out?

There doesn’t seem to be anything slowing the momentum of the upcoming (and by upcoming, I mean January of 2009) release The Spirit, from director Frank Miller.

This new poster was officially released to the folks over at AICN today and will be publicly shown at the New York Comic Con later this weekend.

I’m not sure if you could consider this viral marketing, but for anyone who has no idea what The Spirit is, it certainly raises an eyebrow or two.

We tried to show you all that was cool about The Spirit last week, but Lionsgate made us take it all down. This week, we see the film as they want us to see it, leaving us far less interested than before.

ScarJo’s newest project is the Will Eisner adaptation The Spirit, the solo directorial effort of the legendary Frank Miller. Today, we get a look at her in costume — as a sexy nurse. Yeah, you read that right.

Yesterday we showed you some advertising art from Frank Miller’s The Spirit — and it was awesome. Today, we have photos from the set with Sam Jackson looking badass — which is an even bigger dose of awesome!

Lionsgate has sent us a look at the outdoor posters for the upcoming Will Eisner adaptation The Spirit, which is being directed by the legendary Frank Miller.
