At the recent New York Comic-Con, producers Michael Uslan, F.J. DeSanto and publisher Dennis Kitchen, talked about Frank "Sin City" Miller's upcoming feature based on Will Eisner's crime-fighting comic strip "The Spirit".
Miller who could not attend the convention, has reportedly been cutting and pasting Eisner's work, creating storyboards on the wall of his home to structure the screenplay.
"Central City comes alive as a true character in this," Uslan said about the adaptation, but stressed the film will not be an origin story. 
"The basis of the film is the very early Eisner work," said DeSanto. 
Uslan said there would be 'heavy emphasis' on the numerous femme fatale characters in the "Spirit" world, with a film rating "more of a hard PG-13."No casting ideas yet, but the late "Spirit" creator Eisner had originally envisioned actor James Garner (circa 1984) to play the Spirit, aka 'Denny Colt'.
