I wonder if anyone has ever had a go at Edgewood Studio’s “The Spirit: Ten Minutes.”
Based on one of my all-time favorite comic stories but made by David Giancola (whose “Time Chasers” was made infamous by MST3K) on a micro-budget that precluded shooting the subway scene (our little hood Freddie gets mowed down by a truck instead), I am curious but certain to be disappointed.
Trailer’s on YouTube. Somehow Giancola got permission to use Eisner’s art, and he makes the most of it in the trailer. Watch the guy playing Max (the shopkeeper) get everything horribly, horribly wrong.
