Along with the literary upgrade have come equally artful films, including The Dark Knight and Sin City. But for all its highbrow hopes, The Spirit plays like a B movie.

Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes continued their
The Spirit press tour, stopping off in London last night. The dynamic duo was joined by costar Samuel L. Jackson and director Frank Miller for this red carpet and it looks like this group isn't sick of each other yet.

Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes and Samuel L Jackson were in London last night
to celebrate their upcoming movie The Spirit at the Old Post Office, before the world premiere in New York which takes place in a few days time.

Scarlett Johansson posed for a photo call for
The Spirit in Madrid today —
what do you think of her new hair color? As usual, her hot husband Ryan wasn't by her side, but she had the company of her gorgeous costars Eva Mendes and Paz Vega.

The Spirit is so sexy, intriguing, and dark that I can't help but admire the creative team behind it.
