Following an advance screening of "The Spirit", much more detailed plotline of the Will Eisner's newspaper strip adaptation has been unearthed. Though noting that some of the scenes he has seen may undergo some changes for the final cut, a reader named VoicesOffCamera revealed to AICN that the story will be taking off after The Octopus' attempt to steal two mysterious cases.
Aided with the help of Silken Floss and three Louis Lombardi's, Octopus manages to get his hands on one of the cases, but loses the other to Sand Saref following a confrontation that leaves a cop nearly dead. While everybody is blaming Saref for the cop's condition, Spirit, who has past connection with Saref, thinks otherwise when he finds her locket in the cop's grips.
Having to find her before the others, Spirit tracks her down as well as his foe, Octopus. Then, it is revealed that Saref is also looking for the psychotic villain who is also tracking her down to claim back the case which is eventually unveiled to be containing a vial of Hercules' blood that helps those who drink it to be morphed into a god. The complete report of the screening can be read at AICN.
From the creator of comic book series "300" and "Sin City", Frank Miller, comes a live-action adaptation film made using "Sin City" noir-like technique. It teams up Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson, Sarah Paulson, Jaime King and others. The Lionsgate Films' flick will be released on Christmas Day, December 25.
