Frank Miller

According to producer Stephen L’Heureux, who is currently working on two Frank Miller projects, “Sin City 2″ and “Hard Boiled”, the sequel to 2005’s “Sin City” is scheduled to go before the cameras in the “second half of 2010″, with Robert Rodriguez back to direct, and Frank Miller co-di...

L'Heureux told the site that the Sin City sequel will go into production in the second half of 2010. The sequel will be based on an original script by Frank Miller, who will again co-dir...

By Brian Cronin Okay, in Batman #405, by writer Frank Miller and artist David Mazzucchelli, Lt. Gordon is investigating who Batman might actually be, and he's checking District Attorney Harvey Dent - at the same time, Gordon is dealing with a simmering attraction between himself and Sgt. Sarah Essen, an...

By Brian Cronin Okay, so in Batman #404 (by writer Frank Miller and artist David Mazzucchelli), Bruce Wayne has finally decided to fight crime after training for it his whole adult life. The thing is, his initial disguise (normal clothes just with a big scar to disguise himself) has not been exactly met wi...

By David Pepose Rosen, who was 88, started his career at Harvey Comics, and had credits stretching back all the way to 1948. His most influential credits include the Frank Miller run on Daredevil (shown above), as well as the Spider-Man/Superman crossover. The Comics Reporter had this to say about Rosen:

By dailypop A masterpiece nearly twenty years in the making, this archival, oversized, and slipcased hardcover volume contains the complete life story of Martha Washington, the twenty-first century freedom fighter created by comic-book megastars Frank Miller (Sin City, 300) and Dave Gibbons...

By Graeme McMillan If you're looking for more Gibbons, this is definitely your week; he pops up (again working with his Watchmen collaborator Moore) alongside many other creators in the enjoyable The Spirit Archives: The New Adventures hardcover collection of a short-lived 1990s attempt to revive Will...

By dailypop Fifth time’s the charm? If the 5th outing of Wolverine on film makes it to the screen I will be shocked but if they use the Frank Miller/Chris Claremont story as a basis, it could end up being a real treat for fans of the movies and comics both.

By Graeme McMillan The idea of "superheroes for grown-ups" has been promised many, many times in the twenty-plus years since Frank Miller made Batman old and Alan Moore took the underwear away from his glowing blue radioactive man, but rarely achieved. Sleeper manages it by downplaying the superheroics a...

Prior to these latest Dark Knight movies, DC Comics were benefactors to another variant lightning-in-the-bottle retelling of the crimefighter's origins by then Batman writer Frank Miller. Batman: Year One opens with a 25 years-old Bruce Wayne returning ...

If Sin City were a video game, graphics whores everywhere would rejoice. Well, the art direction of Sin City, a film based on the Frank Miller comics, is drop-dead gorgeous and absolutely pops in its 1080p Blu-ray Disc presentation. ...

By Brian Cronin Today we continue our look at what is most likely the greatest Daredevil story ever told, Born Again, by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. It might last longer than a week, as there are a lot of cool moments, and they just keep coming with greater frequency as the series continues its slow...

By Brian Cronin Born Again began in Daredevil #227, when Frank Miller, Daredevil’s greatest creator, returned to the title to write the comic alongside the incumbent artist, David Mazzucchelli, who was at the time only beginning to show us the greatness that he was capable of. Best. Daredevil. Arc. Ever.

 CA Together with his artist, a young man named Frank Miller, Claremont decided that Wolverine was, at heart, a ronin – a masterless, failed samurai who hid a deep-seated code of honor underneath all that rage. In this mini-series, Wolverine journeys to ...

 CA But nowadays we don't seem to have much use for film noir, unless (of course) it's used as a stylistic choice in movies like Sin City and Watchmen. (Hey, I guess Frank Miller and Alan Moore dig film noir, so maybe you should too! ...

 CA I haven't always loved Brubaker's DD run, but I think he's hit on something very special here. "Return of the King" is off to a rousing start. If this issue is any indication, we may be in for one of the finest Daredevil stories since the Frank Miller ...

Danny talks about the final issue featuring Frank Miller’s The Spirit movie and reflects back on what Write Now! means to h...

By Jeff Lester(noreply@blogger.com) Long before the movie came out, I began hoping that Miller was trying to update Eisner's Spirit for a modern audience and had tumbled to the idea that the closest analogue to Eisner's oddball mix of noir and vaudeville, slapstick and sturm-und-drang, melodrama and high yucks, that the au...

By J. Caleb Mozzocco The next best thing to Frank Miller’s Mary Worth?: The other day I mentioned an old Jules Feiffer essay in which he compares Will Eisner’s The Spirit character to Mary Worth, and wondered aloud what Frank Miller’s Mary Worth movie might look like. Reader Johnny Dale wrote in to inform me of s...

By Ben Child Will Eisner's noirish 1940s comic strip was an inspiration for Frank Miller creations such as Sin City. So it's a little ironic that most critics reckon this big-screen adaptation of The Spirit looks like a pale facsimile of the comic-book-writer-turned-director Miller's 2005 rework...

By noreply@blogger.com (collectededitions) Green Arrow: Year One is a re-telling of the origin of Green Arrow by writer Andy Diggle and artist Jock (real name Mark Simpson) that tries to do what Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli did for Batman to its title character. Although it might not be quite up to the standard of the sublime Bat...

By Hugh Hart The Spirit Synopsis: Masked avenger The Spirit (Gabriel Macht) tracks the villainous Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) and the seductive Sand Saref (Eva Mendes) through the dark streets of Central City. Scarlett Johansson co-stars in the movie, adapted from the Will Eisner comic by writer-d...

By Hugh Hart Miller knew Eisner personally, carved out his own niche as a groundbreaking graphic novelist back in the '80s and got hands-on filmmaking experience when he co-directed the big-screen adaptation of his own graphic novel Sin City with Robert Rodriguez.

By Robert Greenberger Acclaimed for his work in comics on Daredevil and The Dark Knight Returns, his film work has been less well received starting with his work on RoboCop 2.  His Sin City was a major success and 300 was based on his Dark Horse graphic novel, although it was adapted by Zack Snyder.  Miller is making...

By Elf Girl I am so not a fan of Frank Miller, so this bit of news actually made me smile. A reader for Ain't it Cool News claims to have seen The Spirit and writes a very long winded review of it, most of which is pretty funny (though the rape analogy just pisses me off; watching a bad movie is NOT comparable to...

By Chris Mautner The new Cartoon Network show Batman: The Brave and the Bold swaps the traditional noir tinge of such Batman cartoons like the original animated series and Batman Beyond (we’ll just forget about the recent “The Batman” OK?) in favor of a more sunny, pop art approach, and I for one couldn’t b...

Watchmen, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons much acclaimed superhero epic, has always sold well as a backlist title. But since the July release of an online trailer to promote director Zack Snyder’s forthcoming film adaptation of the book, DC Comics has gone back to press for nearly 1 million co...

By Alex Carnevale Most of the people eagerly awaiting the Frank Miller-ized movie of Will Eisner's amazing comic The Spirit have never actually read the original comic. So they probably don't have a sense for the difference between the comic and Miller's campy Sin City-esque vision for the film version. So...

By Geoff Boucher Miller, of course, prides himself on being provocative (he is the man that brought the world "Sin City" and "300"), so he let out a cynical chuckle as he mulled over the fact that he has the first true R-rated "Batman" comic book in the 69-year publishing history of the iconic DC character.

Despite the rise of the so-called graphic novel over the past few decades—self-contained, morally complex comic series like Alan Moore’s Watchmen and Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns—comic books are still widely regarded as kiddie stuff. And when X-Men and Spider-Man recently...

By Rokk Krinn Creative Team Writer: Frank Miller Penciler: Jim Lee Inker: Scott Williams Comments The Good: All Star Batman #6 was a great read. I am having an absolute blast reading this title. I know that a lot of people have been put off by Miller’s goddamn Batman especially when Batman locked Dick Grayson in the Batcave and left him to feed off rats. Personally, I don’t mind this version of Batman at all. It is Frank Miller, people. Miller has never been shy about his writing style. Miller is not hard to gauge. You know exactly what you are going to get when you read a Frank Miller comic book. You will get a film noir themed story full of testosterone, whiskey and cigarette smoke. The women are women and the men are men and they can all kick ass.   [read the full post]

By Brandon Valentine In 480 BC, Persian “God-King,” Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), sent a messenger to King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) of Sparta to ask the Spartan authority for an offering of Earth and water. However, Xerxes intended to overthrow the city of Sparta and make slaves out of its citizens. In accordance...

By Kati Irons 300, based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller, which was inspired by Gates of Fire by Stephen Pressfield, tells the tale of Leonidas, King of Sparta, who led 300 Spartan soldiers against the hitherto undefeated Persian army. At great cost the Persians won the battle, but ultimately lost...

By General Disdain As you know, or will know now, 300 is movie adaptation of a graphic novel by none other than Frank Miller. The novel is loosely based on the real Battle of Thermopylae and inspired by the movie The 300 Spartans. It chronicles the futile stand of King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartan war...

By Anne Russell Not since Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhastan has watching a movie made me snort and chuckle as much as Zack Snyder's adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae.

By Ray Wong Hollywood has long been in love with Frank Miller's graphic novels, from RoboCop to Sin City. His 300 takes us back more than two thousand years to the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. In truth, this is more of a fantasy than a historical drama.

By Sibin Mohan While not directly involved in the production of 300, Miller's fingerprints are all over the movie version of his graphic novel, which he created in collaboration with Lynn Varley. Although the movie version has been directed by Zack Snyder, the visual imagery, the storytelling, and th...
