By Ryan 'The Rican with the Irish name' McLelland on September 25, 2007

Sarah Paulson has joined the cast of "Will Eisner's The Spirit," comic auteur Frank Miller's directorial effort featuring the classic comic strip character says The Hollywood Reporter. Also joining the cast are Dan Lauria, Stana Katic, Johnny Simmons and Louis Lombardi.

Paulson joins leading ladies Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson in the film noir about a rookie cop who returns from the dead to fight crime as the Spirit from the shadows of Central City. However, while Mendes and Johansson are playing femme fatales, Paulson is playing the hero's true love, Dr. Ellen Dolan, the police commissioner's daughter.

Gabriel Macht is on board as Denny Colt/the Spirit, and Samuel L. Jackson will play the villainous Octopus.

Lauria is playing the police commissioner, while Katic is a rookie cop. Simmons plays a young Denny Colt, while Lombardi will play Phobos, a henchman for the Octopus.

Production will begin in October in New Mexico and will be shot entirely at Albuquerque Studios.
