Yay, cool! I hope Frank Miller turns out to be a decent director. Being a co-director on Sin City isn't enough of a litmus test for me, even though I liked that flick.
We really have no way of knowing who did what on Sin City although I get the sense that Rodriguez is responsible for the literalism that was a deal-breaker for me. (Insert enormous argument between octopunk and Jordan that rages to this day.)
The Spirit could really benefit from highly stylized filmmaking, if it was done by someone who understood how to do it right. (e.g. no fake noses)

[Image]From SHH, Frank Miller (Sin City) talked to Variety about writing and directing The Spirit for Lionsgate. Here's a clip:When tasked with selecting the right hook from 12 years of "The Spirit" comics, Miller embraced an old favorite. "It's the story of Sand Saref," he says, referring to a plot that first ran in newspapers on Jan. 8, 1950, full of danger-laced romance, espionage and early germ-warfare elements. "It's about the first love of Spirit's life, who has turned to a life of crime, and he has to bring her to justice."He also talks a bit more about the Sin City sequel at the link above.
