"The Spirit" and "Inspector Gadget"?!
Question: "The Spirit" and "Inspector Gadget"!?
I heard from a friend that the new movie coming out called "The Spirit" directed by Frank Miller, is related to the cartoon "Inspector Gadget!." Apparently the spirit in the movie is the same spirit thats inside the robotic inspector!. I tried to look for this info online and could not find it!. Does anyone know if this is true!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
False False False!.
The Spirit began as an eight page Sunday Supplement during the nineteen forties produced by Will Eisner Studios!. Among the great cartoonists who worked on it were Jack Cole (Plastic Man) Lou Fine (the Ray, Peter Scratch) Wally Wood (Witzend) and Jules Feiffer!. But Eisner himself was a genius and Kitchen Sink Press is among those who have reprinted runs of it!.
Inspector Gadget is also a humorous cartoon story but really has no relationship with the original cartoon!.
While the Spirit was occasionally dark, it owed a lot to Film Noir and irony was a common device in it, many of us older folks are horrified that Miller -- who I don't normally dislkike this much though others have called him a hack -- has got his grimy paws on it!. Quite literally, Ben or Jerry Stiller, or the Wayans brothers, would be better choices for filming this!. It is good that Miller has got this much clout but we wish he'd left Eisner alone!. Frank Miller's Tor might have been nice!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
