Sam L has been the surprise villain in the best superhero movie that was never a comic (Unbreakable), a hero in the best superhero animated film that wasn't either (The Incredibles), and the most powerful man in the free world in a superhero comic (the Ultimates) that influenced at least one Marvel movie franchise (hint: go see Iron Man again... and THIS time, stay after the credits!). now, Jackson has been cast as The Octopus, the arch nemesis of The Spirit (in the upcoming film of the same name), flagship character of the greatest comics legend you never heard of... the late, great Will Eisner. the film, which is directed by comics icon Frank Miller, will be out in 2009.
until then, peep the teaser, and look forward to seeing more trailers here.
