Screenhead came across these photos of the film The Spirit, which opens this Christmas. The Spirit is a pure classic of action, adventure and romance. Frank Miller wrote and directed the film based on Will Eisner popular comic book.

The tale concerns a rookie cop who returns from the dead as The Spirit (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different idea. He wants to wipe out Spirit’s beloved city to pursue his own form of immortality. The Spirit chases this pitiless killer from Central City’s rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront… all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill the masked crusader. Encircling him at every turn are Ellen Dolan (Sarah Paulson), the whip-smart girl-next-door; Silken Floss (Scarlett Johansson), a punk secretary and frigid vixen; Plaster of Paris (Paz Vega), a murderous French nightclub dancer; Lorelei (Jaime King), a phantom siren; and Morgenstern (Stana Katic), a sexy young cop.

Oh yes… there’s Sand Saref (Eva Mendes), the jewel thief with dangerous curves. She’s the love of his life turned bad.
