SAMUEL L. JACKSON'S GOT "SPIRIT"

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Samuel L. Jackson is taking on the role of the Octopus in Frank Miller's film adaptation of the Will Eisner comic, The Spirit.

The Octopus, who is The Spirit's arch nemesis, never had his face revealed in any of the stories, but could be identified by readers by his distinctive gloves.

Will we see Sam, or just hear him telling everyone what a "bad mutherf*cker" he is?

AND YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT!

The top three quotes from DC's The Spirit #4!

Besides being one of the best comics on the racks for both story and art, Darwyn Cooke's dialogue is the stuff of noir dreams:

Number Three: (Hussein Hussein to the Spirit)
"Mister Blue, you spear my heart with your pointy words."

Number Two: (Agent Silk Satin to a passed out Spirit)

"C'mon city boy, wake up. Don't make me give you a taste. Wake up."

Followed by one solid SMACK!


And finally, the Number One quote from The Spirit #4:(Silk Satin to the Spirit and Police Chief Dolan)

The Spirit: "Your men better be careful with Hussein. He's a slippery one."

Silk Satin: "Please. We're the CIA. Not some local cops and a Gainsborough."

Dolan: "Gainsborough?"

Silk Satin: "The blue boy. Google it."
