'The Spirit' Movie Release Date Moved Up
Consider it their Christmas gift to you...
The Cinematical crew are reporting that Lionsgate is moving up the release date for Frank Miller's adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit from January 16 of next year to Christmas Day (December 25), 2008.
Here's the new tale of the tape for The Spirit:
So instead of going up against Mall Cop, starring Kevin James as a wacky security guard, and the Notorious B.I.G. biopic, The Spirit will face off against Adam Sandler's Bedtime Stories, the supposedly ultra-heartwarming Marley & Me, The Tale of Despereaux, and the aftershocks of Twilight and The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Oh, and if you haven't seen the trailer for The Spirit yet that debuted at New York Comic Con, here it is:

Now they'll have to change the date on the trailer from 2009 to 2008! It sounds like the studio has a lot of confidence in the movie.

Wish I had the confidence in this movie that they seem to have.

My question is, why didn't Miller just call it "The Question"?
This isn't the Spirit - it's Batman in a suit and tie.
