The film is based on the newspaper comic strip of the same name created by Will Eisner in the 1940's.
The 1.44 minute long trailer starts out same as the trailer #2 but later features some new footage.
Written and directed by Frank Miller, the film headlines Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes. It is due for release in theaters on December 25.
The Spirit is the story of a man, Denny Colt (Johnny Simmons), who died as a rookie cop and comes back to life possessing superpowers. The Spirit (Gabriel Macht) fights crime in Central City from the shadows.
The Spirit's other gift: every woman he meets, falls in love with him. He is involved in a love triangle with Sand Saref (Eva Mendes), his childhood sweetheart who has turned to crime, and Dr.Ellen Dolan (Sarah Paulson), the daughter of Central City's Police Commissioner Dolan.
Others who either fall for him or want to kill him include Silken Floss (Scarlett Johansson), the femme fatale secretary and accomplice to the Octopus, Morgenstern (Stana Katic), Lorelei Rox.(Jamie King) and the knife wielding Plaster of Paris (Paz Vega), who dresses in a sparkling Bollywood makeover.
The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson), who has the makeover of a gun touting skinhead, kills anyone who has seen his face. His nastier plan is to wipe out the entire city. The Spirit tracks this cold hearted killer from the city's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront.
Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson and Paz Vega attended the Madrid premiere of the film on December 2.
