MTV Scoffs At Scarjo's Spirit Demotion From Surgeon To Secretary

Meredith Woerner — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:07:46 PST

It's a bad sign for Frank Miller's movie adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit when MTV's own movie-promo special Spoilers feels the need to explain how much cooler the comic was. In this clip, MTV highlights two of the "Ladies Of The Spirit," then notes how Silken Floss (Scarlett Johansson) is a nuclear physicist and surgeon in the original comic — but in the movie, she's just Samuel L. Jackson's secretary. "A bit of a demotion," the MTV talking head notes. Weirdly enough, the online version of this featurette is missing that observation. But it does have more ladies. Watch it below. More »

Remix The Moaning Ladies Of The Spirit

Meredith Woerner — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 08:20:00 PDT

Scariest movie marketing ever: Frank Miller brings together his gaggle of gals from The Spirit and has each of them give a little soundbite when you mouse over her poster. Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson, Jaime King and Sarah Paulson lay the verbal cheesecake on thick, moaning and purring a sexy innuendo or pick-up line. I have an awful mental image of Miller in the darkened sound booth demanding the girls to sound more seductive. This piece of marketing trash is just begging for a "Justify My Love"-esque Madonna-style remix and we here at io9 want you to come up with it. Click through for more contest details. More »

First Peek at Evil Secretary Silken Floss from Frank Miller's "The Spirit"

Annalee Newitz — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 07:00:00 PDT

Frank Miller, the comic book auteur behind Dark Knight and Sin City, is directing his first film — an adaptation of 1940s newspaper comic The Spirit. Originally written by Will Eisner, the story features a detective dubbed the Spirit after he awakens from a state of suspended animation caused by a supervillain's experiments. Miller will be re-imagining Eisner's work, and you can see his fingerprints all over this design for the character of an evil secretary called Silken Floss, played by Scarlett Johansson. More »
