Even though “The Spirit” is written and directed by an icon of the comic book industry and that should be enough to galvanize all of you to seek the movie out….Lionsgate isn’t stupid, they know what really works. 

Sex.

As we all know, sex sells. So if you have some of the best looking Hollywood actresses in your movie…you sell it. Hence the new video featurette called “The Women of The Spirit” which is below.

If you watch the video you’ll see Scarlett Johansson, Sarah Paulson, Eva Mendes, Paz Vega, Jaime King and maybe a surprise or two. And while I think I already lost most of you to the video…if you aren’t familiar with “The Spirit”, here’s the synopsis:

Adapted from Will Eisner’s comic book series, THE SPIRIT is a classic action-adventure-romance genre-twister written for the screen and directed by FRANK MILLER (creator of 300 and SIN CITY).  It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously 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 mission: he’s going to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality.  The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted 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 our masked crusader. Surrounding 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.

Then of course, there’s SAND SAREF (Eva Mendes), the jewel thief with dangerous curves. She’s the love of his life turned bad. Will he save her or will she kill him?

In the vein of BATMAN BEGINS and SIN CITY, THE SPIRIT takes us on a sinister, gut-wrenching ride with a hero who is born, murdered and born again.
