Miller Adapts Someone Else’s ComicBy Jason Morgan: 2007-07-26 09:58:35
It’s all about creative control. The writers and directors deserve it, but the producers and studio usually get it. It seems that every director deals with it, and they keep losing. Frank Miller is no stranger to such battles. His work on the Robocop sequels were butchered into lifeless works that bared no resemblance to his original. As a result, he left Hollywood behind, until the success of Sin City and 300. Now, Miller holds a great deal of creative clout and he's putting it to use in adapting Will Eisner’s comic book “The Spirit,” reports Variety.
"I want to do him proud," Miller says. "It's true to the Will Eisner that I know, and I've been telling everybody working on this movie that the final film should feel like it was fun to draw. “It's the story of Sand Saref," continued Miller. "It's about the first love of Spirit's life, whose has turned to a life of crime, and he has to bring her to justice." Hurray for comic book movies! Ugh. Miller also gave a few updates on his other projects – Involvement with the adaptation of the Raymond Chandler adaptation “Trouble is My Business,” prepping for a “Ronin” adaptation at Warner Bros. helmed by Stomp The Yard director Sylvain White and Sin City 2, which is developing slowly but will be based on “A Dame to Kill For.” As far as Miller’s comic book work, he’s stalled on his latest project “Holy Terror, Batman,” in which the vigilante squares off against Al Qaeda. "This movie career just sort of plopped into the middle of it," Miller says. "120 pages are inked, and after The Spirit, I'm going to come in and finish it before any more directing."
