How do you think each character will be Millerized?

The Spirit/Denny Colt: I think Miller will make him a gritty, Batman type persona but still will have Eisner's comical form of the character

The Octopus: A serious opposite to the Spirit's comical side. Miller would make him a kingpin who doesnt want torture or slowly kill the Spirit. Just a type of person who will kill at a first chance.

Sand Serf: Miller would make her a seductive "Nancy of Sin City" type girl who is the most colorful character in the movie

Eisner's Spirit is a violent tough pulp style character who also has a sense of humor. "There's a lot of humor in here because otherwise it wouldn't be Will Eisner's Spirit." - Frank Miller.

The Octopus: A serious opposite to the Spirit's comical side. Miller would make him a kingpin who doesnt want torture or slowly kill the Spirit. Just a type of person who will kill at a first chance.

Eisner's Octopus is the arch-enemy of The Spirit. He is a mysterious criminal mastermind. "The Octopus kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face." - Frank Miller. This is true to Eisner's Octopus.

Sand Serf: Miller would make her a seductive "Nancy of Sin City" type girl who is the most colorful character in the movie

Eisner's Sand Saref is a seductive type femme fatale, but she's not the same as Nancy Callahan - she's a villainess, the jewel thief with dangerous curves, and she's not the Spirit's true love like Nancy Callahan was to John Hartigan. Frank Miller understands that.

Honestly, I don't want to think about it.

Ditto.

 

[Spirit]

But Serf is as seductive as Nancy,right?

 

[mego joe]

But Serf is as seductive as Nancy,right?

I think that the Spirit's draw to Sand Saref is that she is his first love and he hates how things turned out for her, so he is drawn to her b/c he still cares about her, even if he believes she won't reform, he will always try to help her b/c he holds out hope.

Does this include the audience, then?

 

[mego joe]

Does this include the audience, then?

Then I'm DEFINITELY not going to see it.

 

[Abstract]

I dont want Denny Colt to be too much like the characters of Sin City, as much as I like them they carry a depressing gravity with them. I would love to see the gritty and black humour (No, not Ebony White :P) qualities brought out in the film.

 

[Bubastis]

Here's how. When people arent fighting, the spirit is bilogically inclined to hookup with any woman within close range of him. So everyone's a ****e.

Stupid....

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

Yeah, the whole idea of SEX POWERS is teh funny.

Sex Powers. lolzerz.

 

[Eison]

Let's see it is a Frank Miller project so...

Every male (including the hero) will be a homicidal, psychotic maniac.

And every female will be a crazy ****e.

Wow!! Talk about over simplifying.

 

[Eison]

Wow!! Talk about over simplifying.

Since most of Miller's acclaimed work doesn't reach past those simple stages why go any further into it?

Where there any "crazy ****es", or "homicidal, psychotic maniacs" in Big Guy and Rusty The Boy Robot? I don't think so.

It's a shame, and I mean a pitiful shame, that you have to keep referring back to that book as the ONE, single example of Miller not living up to all of his cliches.

My response was going to be can you name anything else? The exception does not make the rule and how many people would even name that in the first 10 things they'd name from Frank Miller's work history?

Yeah, well, I was doing it for the benefit of Eison. Not you.

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

Good, so that means you won't bring it back up in conversation with me, then, leaving Miller little more than a cliche ridden stereotype for my bashing?!?!

VICTORY!!!

Ronin, RoboCop VS Terminator, 300 also have none of the things you mentioned.

 

[rogue trooper]

VICTORY!!!

...I agree. That is what this film will probably recieve.

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

In other words...

YOU SANK MY BATTLESHIP!!!

 

[Eison]

Ronin, RoboCop VS Terminator, 300 also have none of the things you mentioned.

Well 300 doesn't have ****es as main characters but that is because all of the women in the book are only objects to the male characters and nothing more. And I think Ronin fits in with the rest of his work just fine.

But why would anybody actually read RoboCop vs Terminator to know what it does or doesn't have in common with his other work? t:

You specifically said "crazy ****es" and "psycho maniacs". None of these have that.

Also, from the clips I saw from comic con, the scenes look very much in the style of Eisner.

Zing.

You are correct sir.
