A mysterious widget for Frank Miller’s upcoming adaptation of Will Eisner’s “The Spirit” has begun floating around online, first on personal Facebook and MySpace pages, then on Web sites like Ain’t It Cool News and others, counting down, promising that “I’m on my way!”

Could it be a clock signaling the film’s first trailer? Sure is, but if the Spirit is willing, well, he’ll have to stop by our site first. MTV News will have the exclusive first look at the trailer for Miller’s eagerly anticipated flick, starring Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes, to premiere during NYC Comic-Con. After that, he’ll make his way across the Web via those now ubiquitous widgets. In the meantime, keep checking in with MTV for much more on “The Spirit” direct from Comic-Con.
