The second trailer for Frank Miller’s adaptation of Will Eisner’s The Spirit is officially online now, which means it’s no longer a grainy watermarked video like we showed you before. Now you can see the trailer in high definition clarity.
Sadly, the difference is negligible. There’s just something inherently wrong going on here. Instead of tantalizing a potential audience with impressive visuals like Sin City or The Matrix films did, Miller’s movie is just putting me off. I can’t help but feel it’s like an arthouse experiment gone incredibly wrong, and no matter what we say, the artist in question will just tell all of us we, “don’t get it.” I want to be excited about The Spirit, but Will Eisner’s name deserves better than this.
Take a look at the clearer trailer below or head over to Apple.com to see the trailer in larger, higher definition versions.
