I believe Miller stated that the film is going to be in color.

[...] har helt missat denna filmen innan Slashfilm skrev om dessa tre posters. Dessa har tre olika taglines. “My City Screams. She Is My Lover. [...]

I think Cplus is right. Miller’s never said anything about the look of the film nor has anyone hinted of is visual style.

Unless I missed a report? But I never heard that this was going to “look” like Sin City.

You guys are extrapolating a lot from the style of a poster. I’m under the impression that this will be nothing like Sin City.

I could easily confuse this for an add campaign for Sin City 2 if it wasn’t for the fact I’m wise to comic books.

I love the Sin City style and it worked so well for that film but do we really need to see it used again in something that isn’t a sequel?

Frank Miller has demonstrated that he is great at making stylized films and he can do it without repeating himself (300 and Sin City are both highly stylized yet both look very different).

I just don’t know if I could watch another film that looks exactly like Sin City. It was great the first time but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

As much as I appreciate Frank Miller and his work, I don’t believe that his take on THE SPIRIT isn’t remaining 100% true to Will Eisner; at least from what I’ve seen so-far. Everything from the first black & white poster, these newly released posters, to how the movie is being filmed; none of it feels very SPIRIT-like to me.

Anyone having read the original Eisner stuff, and even the current Darwyn Cook DC series, THE SPIRIT is a lot more colorful and vibrant. I hate to say Warren Beatty’s DICK TRACY style; but SPIRIT is much closer to that, than anything Miller seems to be doing so far.

Much like the stories and characters of THE SPIRIT; not only should the marketing feel old school, but if it were me, I would have been shooting this sucker on a back-lot, filled with sets and props; not on a stage with a the blue (or is it green) screen style of filmmaking.

Call me old fashioned, but Frank Miller, as much as he and Eisner were friends and the appreciation he carries out for him, I don’t think Miller was the right choice for this project. Give me someone like Frank Darabont instead.

Frank Millers art style perfectly captured. That guy can do no wrong with black & white with soem red thrown in.
