Though many will agree thatThe Spiritmay indeed be one of the worst comic book movies of all-time, that doesn't take away any of writerWill Eisner'sinfluence on graphic novels and their eventual acceptance as true form of literature. As a matter of fact, Eisner'sgraphic novelwhich brought credibility to the medium is now heading to the big screen.THRreportsA Contract with Godwill be adapted into a live-action film with directorsAlex Rivera(Sleep Dealer),Tze Chun(Children of Invention),Barry Jenkins(Medicine for Melancholy) andSean Baker(Prince of Broadway) each helming one chapter of the story on screen.
A Contract with Godis essentially the first illustrated story to break away from the comic book moniker to become the first graphic novel.The works within re-create the neighborhood of Will Eisner's youth through a quartet of four interwoven stories which express the joy, exuberance, tragedy, and drama of life on Dropsie Avenue in the Bronx. I cannot imagine such a seminal work will be easy to adapt to film and yet still appease fans of the classic graphic novel, but it will be interesting to see how this comes together. After all, it can't be any worse than the literal pile of shit that we saw on screen inThe Spirit. Stay tuned!Anyone interested?
