Series Developer: the show's creator, is in charge of running the show. They pick the crew and help cast the actors, approve and sometimes write series plots (some even write or direct major episodes). Various other producers help to ensure that the show runs smoothly.
Noah Hawley [Notable Works {As a Showrunner}: The Unusuals, My Generation Fargo]: Watching his work on Fargo was astounding, an instant hit, that delved into the darkness and odd humor of the Coen Brother's film. There's no one better for a serious Spirit revamp than Noah.
Series Writer: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.
Noah Hawley [Notable Works {As Series Writer}: Bones, Fargo, The Unusuals]: He wrote all the Episodes of Fargo, it was a tremendous task for him, but he was challenged with catching the tone of the film and adapting it. He would certainly capture the best of the Spirit's tones and really format them well for T.V. And if does things the way he Did Fargo it would be advantageous to both fans and the ratings.
Series Directors: Directors who switch off and direct episodes of the series.
Frank Darabont [Notable Works {As A T.V. Director}: Walking Dead {Episodes 1x01 "Pilot/Days Gone Bye"} Mob City {Most Episodes}, The Shield {Episode 6x06 "Chasing Ghosts"}]: Frank is a wonderful director and has done an amazing job directing t.v. Series and would certainly be a great director to jump on the Spirit.
Adam Bernstein [Notable Works: Fargo {1X01 "The Crocodile's Dilemma" 1x02 " The Rooster Prince"}, Law and Order: Special Victim's Unit {14X12 "Criminal Hatred", 15x19 "Downloaded Child", 15x23 "Thought Criminal"} Breaking Bad {Multiple Episodes}]: His work has been very expansive, He's done many wonderful Episodes of Breaking Bad, where he really got into the darkness of the drug dealing world, Law and Order episodes are fresh and still do wonderful to stand out against the other episodes and his work on Fargo was an amazing, amazing start to a fantastic series.
Guy Ferland [Notable Works: Sons of Anarchy {Multiple Episodes}, Mob City {1X04 "His Banana Majesty", 1x05 "Oxpecker"}, Once Upon A Time {2x13 "Tiny", 3x07 "Dark Hollow", 3x13 "Witch Hunt"}]: Guy has done some of the most powerful episodes of Sons of Anarchy and has delved into the Roaring 20's with Mob City. His work went supernatural in Once Upon a Time, he's no doubt a director who can handle the multiple tones of the Spirit.
Paris Barclay [Notable Works: The Good Wife {1x10 "Lifeguard", 5x12 "We, The Juries"}, Sons of Anarchy {Multiple Episode}, Glee {Multiple Episodes}]: Paris is a strong veteran of FX and Drama series. I think his work with Sons of Anarchy would make him Key for the Spirit.
Matt Nix [Notable Works {As a Series Director}: The Good Guys {1x18 "Supercops", Burn Notice {Multiple Episodes}]: I love his work in Burn Notice. He's a fantastic writer and a wonderful director. He could certainly take a lot of the fun of the Spirit and bring it to the screen.
Series Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.
Jeff Russo [Notable Works: Fargo {Series Composer}, Hostages {Series Composer}, Power {Series Composer}]: Without a doubt I knew his work in Fargo would cause this. It was powerful, dramatic, wonderful, and Deep. He would absolutely be wonderful to compose a score for the Spirit.
Production Designer: A production designer or P.D is the person responsible for the overall look of a filmed event such as films, TV programs, video games, music videos or adverts. Production designers have one of the key creative roles in the creation of motion pictures and television. Working directly with the director and producer, they must select the settings and style to visually tell the story.
Dan Bishop [Notable Works: Mad Men {Series P.D.}, Carnivale {Series P.D.}, Big Love {Series P.D.}]: His work with Mad Men, while purposely dated, is wonderful and very well representing of the time period. I would love to see him do the designs for Central City.
Costume Designer: A costume designer is a person who designs costumes for a film or stage production. The role of the costume designer is to create the characters and balance the scenes with texture and color, etc.The costume designer works alongside the director, scenic, lighting designer, sound designer, and other creative personnel. The costume designer may also collaborate with hair stylist, wig master, or makeup artist. In European theatre, the role is different, as the theatre designer usually designs both costume and scenic elements.
Giovanna Ottobre-Melton [Notable Works: Mob City {Series C.D.}, Gang Related {Series C.D.}, Legends {Series C.D.}]: Her wonderful 20's designs for the characters of Mob City would be so fantastic! I love her work in Mob City so well and would absolutely love to see her design the Spirit's costume and the designs of the supporting character.
Cinematographer: A cinematographer (usually credited with the title director of photography, or DP) is the chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film and responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image. The study and practice of this field is referred to as cinematography.
Paul Maibaum [Notable Works: Sons of Anarchy {Multiple Episodes}, Baby Daddy {Multiple Episodes}, My Boys {Multiple Episodes}]: He's got a certain edge to his work. He gets a wonderful sense of tone through his camera work and would certainly be perfect for the Spirit.
Editor: Editing is part of the creative post-production process of filmmaking. The term film editing is derived from the traditional process of working with film, but now it increasingly involves the use of digital technology.
Jordan Goldman [Notable Works: Sons of Anarchy {Multiple Episodes},The Chicago Code {Multiple Episodes}, The Shield {Multiple Episodes}]: He had an edge to him in the Shield, his cuts were quick, well paced and knew how to properly pace and move the action as well as drama. He could certainly help the Spirit.
Executive Producers: In the television world, Executive Producers are the head of T.V. Series, usually held by one, but in larger series many might share the workload.
Noah Hawley [Notable Works {As a Producer}: The Unusuals, My Generation Fargo]: He's the Show's writer and Developer. Certainly he would get the creative control of an Exec Producer who would certainly be perfect for this.
Frank Darabont [Notable Works {As A T.V. Producer}: Walking Dead {Seasons 1 & 2} Mob City {1 Episode}, Raines {1 Episode}]: I like Darabont and would be a great voice into the Spirit.
Adam Bernstein [Notable Works {As A T.V. Producer}: Fargo, Mercy, 30 Week]: He's a great director and I really want to see him work within the Spirit for this Project he's a wonderful Producer and Director.
Producers: Unlike the film world Producers share a role of banking without actually being onset, It's their money at play while Executive Producer's do a larger amount of work.
Greg Berlanti [Notable Works: Arrow, The Flash, Eli Stone]: He's become a wonderful and strong voice in the DC Universe. If anyone would get the idea of a Spirit Series or Mini Series going, he'd be the one.
Andrew Kreisberg [Notable Works: Arrow, The Flash, Warehouse 13]: Andrew is deeply devoted to DC and has done something wonderful for their properties. He would be a great addition to the Spirit and could really help his Filmography.
Geoff Johns [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Arrow, The Flash, Blade The Series]: I've said it before and I'll say it again, Geoff Johns should be the Kevin Feige of the DC Universe. And with a Project like the Spirit it would really show for him.
David Nutter [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Arrow {Multiple Episodes}, Smallville {1 Episode}, The X-Files {Multiple Episodes}]: I like David, he does wonderful work directing pilots. He does a great job as a Producer and would be yet another welcome hand on the Spirit.
Detective Denny Colts/The Spirit [Height: 6' 2" {Estimated}, Age: 30' s-40's]: While fighting the evil Dr. Cobra, young policeman Denny Colt was hit by a liquid which put him in a state of a deep coma. Believed dead, Denny was buried at Wildwood Cemetery, but awoke from his grave 24-hours later. He established a base under his tombstone and using his new-found anonymity, he began to fight crime and protect the people of Central City as The Spirit. His identity is known only to his "driver," Ebony White and Police Commissioner Dolan.
Matt Bomer [Height: 6' 0", Age: 36, Notable Works: White Collar, Chuck, In Time]: Matt is a wonderful Actor. A true gentlemen, and while his Sexual orientation might distract people, they need to calm down, he plays a heterosexual character with all the charm in the world. So don't bring up his taste, it has nothing to do with his performance. He would be an absolutely perfect Spirit.
Dr. Ellen Dolan [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: The Daughter of Commissioner Dolan and the main Love-Interest to the Spirit.
Allison Mack [Height: 5' 5", Age: 31, Notable Works: Smallville, The Ant Bully, Wilfred]: Allison Mack is a wonderful series. She's got a real sense of lovability and honesty that makes her the perfect choice for Ellen.
Commissioner Eustace P. Dolan [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Eustace Dolan is the Police Commissioner in Central City when the Spirit becomes a known vigilante in the city. He ends up having a very close bond with the hero even after the Spirit admits to a murder he didn't commit. The Spirit admits to the crime for fear Dolan would resign if he didn't. Even after the the Spirit becomes a criminal, Commissioner Dolan still has great feelings for his friend and great respect for him but he is committed to his job.
Jeffrey DeMunn [Height: 5' 9", Age: 67, Notable Works: Mob City, Walking Dead, The Mist]: Who Doesn't like Jeff as an actor. He does such wonderful performances in everything he does. He's a strong actor and such a fun person to see perform. He would be an absolutely amazing choice.
Ebony White [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Ebony became The Spirit's first and most loyal partner. He was a taxi driver that encountered Denny Colt's alter ego while driving Ellen Dolan and Homer Creep past Wildwood Cemetery. Ebony was an intelligent person but spoke with a heavy accent that later caused controversy over racial stereotypes (Will Eisner was always deeply found of the character).
Adrian Kali Turner [Height: 4' 9" Age: 17, Notable Works: Walking Dead, Bad Teacher, My Name is Khan]: Adrian has really done wonderful work as an actor and really needs a breakout role, which I think this would be an absolute break out star!
John Law [Height: 6' 0", Age: 30's]: John Law is a detective that was created by Will Eisner in 1948.
Jon Bernthal [Height: 5' 10", Age: 37, Notable Works: Walking Dead, Mob City, Snitch]: John Law, another Will Eisner character - Was inspired to me to put in when I saw the relatively small Supporting cast. I found the character interesting and wanted to put him in here. Jon Bernthal is a wonderful actor and does bare a wonderful resemblance to the character. He would do a wonderful job in the role.
Silk Satin [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: A Federal Agent. She has fought evil along side the Spirit and has a strong attraction to him.
Lara Pulver [Height: 5' 3", Age: 33, Notable Works: Robin Hood, Spooks, Sherlock]: She's such a beautifully controlling actress. Her body and talent commands her performances and how other performers bounce their performances off her. She is such a wonderful actress that this would be perfect for her.
P'Gell [Height: 5' 7" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]:One of The Spirit's most recurrent and famous foes. A French femme fatale and a black widow who has married several times.
Gabrielle Anwar [Height: 5' 3", Age: 44, Notable Works: Burn Notice, Scent of a Woman, Body Snatchers]: Gabrielle is such a wonderful creature. She's so beautiful and talented that I couldn't help it. She's a strong actress and would be such a beautiful P'Gell.
Sand Saref [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]:Sand Saref and Denny Colt grew up together. Sand's father was an honest cop. Denny lived with his uncle who was a patsy for the crooks in the neighborhood. When Sand's father was killed because of a bad decision made by Denny's uncle, Sand refused to talk to him. She ended up in foster care. Sand's life became rough. She began to hate cops. She felt that if her father wasn't an officer, he'd still be alive. She was arrested for armed robbery a few times and ended up serving some jail time. Denny tried being there for her but she told him she hated him. Despite some of her shady decisions on the other side of the law, Sand never revealed The Spirit's identity. This in itself reveals that perhaps Sand's character can be saved. They continued coming in and out of each others' lives, both knowing they could never return to what they once had despite how much they still felt for each other.
Alexa Davalos [Height: 5' 8", Age: 32, Notable Works: Angel {T.V. Series Seasons 2002-2003 Episodes: Ground State, Long Day's Running, Players}, The Chronicles of Riddick, Defiance]: Alexa is one of my favorite actresses. She is so beautiful and wonderful. I had to cast her as Sand. She is has such a lovely woman that would capture the essence of the role.
Dr. Cobra [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Dr. Cobra was wanted by the police. It was Denny Colt who decided he'd bring him in to collect the reward. In Dr. Cobra's hideout, when Denny Colt arrived, Cobra was in the middle of another one of his experiments. As Denny talks to Dr. Cobra, his henchman attacks him. Denny's gun accidentally goes off and fires into a tank filled with chemicals. The chemicals hit him smack in the face. Dr. Cobra drags out his henchman and escapes. When Dolan and some backup arrive, they find Denny's lifeless body crumpled on the floor. He is brought to the coroner who pronounces him dead. With his body already stiff and he assumes it's from rigor mortis. Denny Colt comes to a few hours later and escapes his grave. It seems the chemicals placed him in a state of suspended animation. Denny decided to remain "dead" and fight crime as The Spirit.
Bryan Cranston [Height: 5' 11", Age: 58, Notable Works: Breaking Bad, Godzilla, Malcolm in the Middle]: Heisenberg is a popular character that Bryan may never get out from. But while he's trapped he could always play a fun and energetic mad scientist that works with the Octopus. Bryan is always fun and dynamic in his roles that he would be perfect for this role.
Dusk [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: A crook and mob boss always trying to beat the Spirit.
Robert Knepper [Height: 5' 10", Age: 55, Notable Works: Prison Break, Arrow, Transporter 3]: He oddly looks similar to the character, and he's such a strong actor that this would really be a perfect choice. I think this would be a very serious and fun role for him.
Silken Floss [Height: 5' 7" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]: When Silken Floss appeared in the Spirit, she was a surgeon and nuclear physicist. A femme fatal secretary and accomplice to the Octopus.
Rachel McAdams [Height: 5' 4", Age: 35, Notable Works: The Notebook, The Vow, Sherlock Holmes]: She is such a beautiful actress. She's lovely and immensely talented. I think she would be perfect for the role of Silken Floss.
The Octopus [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Archenemy to the Spirit. His appearance is vague as only his eyes and gloves are seen. He was always depicted wearing a pair of purple gloves with three stripes. Whenever the Octopus appeared in a story, he was either off-panel (except for his gloves) or hiding behind some object (like curtains or another person). Another way the Octopus kept his face hidden was the fact that he was a master of disguise. For any Physical appearances I would give the Octopus a mask to disguise his face, maybe a mask with an actual Octopus on it. His characterization would be influenced by David Carridine's Performance in Kill Bill Vol. 1
Billy Bob Thornton [Height: 6' 0", Age: 58, Notable Works: Fargo, Sling Blade, Tombstone]: His work as Lorne Malvo in Fargo, it was beautiful it was as close to art as acting could be in a television series. He took on so many different faces and so many other mannerisms. He would be such a perfect and iconic Octopus that he would be very well done and erase the memory of the very fun and campy Sam Jackson Octopus.
