Eva Mendes with Frank Miller @ 2008 New York Comic Con Party


Eva Mendes will play the role of Sand Saref in The Spirit, an upcoming flick that's written & directed by comic-industry God, Mr. Frank Miller.

Here's how he describes the main character:
The character has a terrifying side to him. This is a man who’s died and came back to life. So it twists into fantasy. And of course there are tons of women in it. There have to be — it’s The Spirit. They’re all in love with him, and he’s in love with all of them. You might say he’s a bit of a slut. [EW]


Here's the movie's poster:

Eva is nasty.
I didn't like the new Batman Movie with Christian Bale. I do like Christian Bale but I hated him as Batman. He changed his voice and made it too deep as batman. It sounded like shakira was singing. It had a reality approach and I'm a Burton fan. I loved Batman Returns.

I bet This Batman movie is going to be a major hit and sucess coz of Heath Ledger. I would like to see his performance as the Joker. Jack Nicholson was really good.

@4 - You can't go wrong with the classics like Batman and Spiderman. The last Batman movie was awesome!

The only remaining comic book character that should be made into a movie is Wonder Woman, but the trick is to find the right actress to play the role.

Unless this movie is about Eva Mendez's power of bringing people's spirits up by flashing her boobies, I will not be seeing this in theaters. And I'm just going by what the poster is telling me.

Christian Bale has been growing on me ever since I saw American Psycho. He's quickly becoming my favorite new generation actor. And with Heath Ledger in what is reportedly his life's performance, the movie is bound to kick ass. Judging from the trailer, Heath's joker is going to make Jack's look like kindergarten. Definitely my most anticipated movie of the year (the new Indy on a close second.).

Christian Bale is an amazing actor and was great in The Machinist.

I'm also looked forward to the new Indy..more so because Shia Labeouf is in the movie, who I'm a fan of.

Frank Miller is the man, but ehh on Eva Mendes. She's so overrated. She's a butterface and a horrible actress. My choice would have been Dania Ramirez.

I'm counting the days for watching The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton. For what I've seen, it feels like Marvel is apologizing for that first one.

Eva looks beautiful in the poster.

Edward Norton is my favorite actor....he was great in American History X.

Edward Norton is clearly one of the best contemporary actors. I liked him better in Fight Club than American History X though.

Norton was great in fight club too, but I was also impressed how he transformed his body for that role (American History X), like Christian Bale did for The Machinest.

yea, last great movie I watched was Into The Wild. Also great body transformation from Emile Hirsch there.

@ 19. I think his performance in Primal Fear was some of the most perfect I've ever seen in my life. And that was only his second film (his first big-screen one though). I also loved him in Spike Lee's 25th Hour.

He's on my top five list of best actors. Tim Roth, who is playing Emil Blonsky/Abomination in The Incredible Hulk is there (at the list) as well...it looks like this film was made for me.

@21 - Yes, I totally agree with you about his performance in Primal Fear...maybe his best work ever, but I just liked American History X better. I also loved him in 25th hour and Rounders. The guy can play anything! At the end of 25th Hour.....is he dreaming or do you think he lived the rest of his life with her?

A agree with comments re. Christian Bale and Ed Norton, both extremely talented actors. Equilibrium with Christian Bale is one of the most under-viewed movies.

Eva Mendes is hot and fuckable, but still, she looks like Nadine Velazquez's not-nearly-as-hot sister. She's overrated.

pstroyer- into the wild was amazing. It was surprisingly similar to the book.

@ 25. He's not dreaming, he's just mentally picturing the hypothetical situations his father is describing. He's going to prison anyway.

*the hypothetical situations *IF* he ran away, which doesn't happen. It's a really sad ending.

She's very pretty, but I just can't get past the fact that she looks like an Hispanic Jessica Simpson to me.

Eva Mendes is Sand Saref? So she's a typeface?

@ 34. Well, that's what my friend thought...but she's the optimistic type of person, and I'm the opposite. If you watch it again, you will see that after his father tells all that, it ends with a shot of his face while in the car (after having been beaten by his friend), as if he was thinking "Yeah, it could be like this, but...". In my opinion he goes to prison.

She does look like the hispanic Jessica Simpson.
Edward Norton is one of my fave actors. I like Bale too.I guess we will have to wait and see abt Heath's perfofmance and then I will compare him to Jack.
Another really good but underrated actor is Gary Oldman.
