Would be nice if it was better than the last.

Rogue Jedi
dude, the last was AWESOME.

Actually production on this has been going for a while but its state is unknown. There's a script but a number of things have got in the way of it being made right now.

Not really

Jessica Alba I could have done without in Sin City, in fact any movie.

I enjoyed Sin City, so have been waiting for the second one.

DARKLORDCAEDUS
Sin City was AWESOME. Look forward to number two when it is finally made.

Impediment
In my honest opinion, speaking as a die hard comic collector/fan, Sin City is one of the very best comic-to-movie adaptations I've ever seen. It was literally flawless. I can't wait for the sequel.

Victor Von Doom
I'm looking forward to number 3.

Wallace is the man.

Rogue Jedi
If the article is accurate, Dwight and Marv siding up? HOLY HELL.

LoneUnknown
I'll definitely be going to see it. I just wish Hartigan could still be in the movie sad

I enjoyed the production more than the story. I wonder how they'll advance Sin City 2 in terms of effects.

The first was very good the second film is based on the story "A Dame to Kill For" the third is based on Wallace.

The Wallace story was kinda weird tbh I wouldn't want that made into a film.

Patient_Leech
I just watched Sin City again and it just gets better and better everytime I see it. Pure gold. I have some questions about the sequel(s) though...

1. Did they film Michael Clarke Duncan at all before he died? Seems like I saw he was scheduled to be in the 3rd one. IMDB says Sin City 2 is filming now.

2. Are they filming 2 and 3 together?

And it'll be a shame not to see Brittany Murphy, either.. sad

Nothing against Josh Brolin, but goddammit.. erm

I only have time to scan the article, didn't see anything about WHY Clive Owen isn't reprising the role...

Kazenji

Impediment
Yep.

They even mention Dwight's "new face" in the Sin City movie. People need to pay attention.

roughrider
They need to replace Rosario Dawson as Gail. Just doesn't do it for me.

They've been talking this sequel for over seven years now, but all I hear is Robert Rodriguez making is the sequel to Machete (thanks, but no.) Wake me when it finally happens.

Based on what?

siriuswriter
Eva Green as a femme fatale is ALWAYS a good thing. Also, the article said that Bruce Willis will be reprising his role as Hartigan... how chronological are the series?

And I was under the misapprehension that "Dwight's new face" was Clive Owen's. Ugh, I LOVED Owen's portrayal of Dwight. Come back! Come back!

It looks like the studio reversed the decision to change the title from "kill" to "die".

A Dame to Kill for sounds much better, anyway.

****'s sake, people need to learn to read on the internet

people flipping out thinking that Frank Miller is directing this.

Patient_Leech
Who thinks that? IMDB says Miller & Rodriguez, just like the first one.

Impediment
Frank Miller IS directing this film, just like the first one.

Because of the amount of scenes where actors were simply placed in front of a green screen, Rodriquez had Miller on set to explain to the actors what the scene was about & their motivation to say & do what they did.

Miller was more of a consultant, however Rodriguez felt he deserved a credit as "director" because of the amount of time Miller spent on set.

Truth be told, son!

Frank Miller was a director in the sense of scenery and character motivation.

Robert was the guy who did all of the technical shooting and cinematography.

How is that NOT a co-directorship?

Patient_Leech
^ That totally derserves a credit as co-director.

Some concept art...

It is, I agree in every sense of the word.

However, something about politics in the American Film Guild/Union that stipulates a film can't have more than one director.

What I mean is watching the same characters doing the same things as the first...different story, same sequences.

reading the comments, it seems like people aren't excited. One person said it would be "this decade's Phantom Menace". laughing out loud

The first one was good but I just don't see any point for another installment. For as much as I liked the first one I never felt like I needed or even wanted more.

Lestov16
True, but it was still worth the wait IMO. Glad Sen. Roark's bytch ass got what was coming to him. I enjoyed of all the stories. All of the new additions fit right in, especially Brolin. JGL was great as the unluckily lucky hustler. Ava was a true femme fatale excellently played by Eva Green and I was elated when Dwight ganked her due to her villainy. Meloni and Piven were also great secondary characters. I am glad Haysbert got the role in this film, because I felt he was very underrated as Jonas Blane, and he makes for a wonderful Manute. The directing and cinematography is amazing and visually imaginative like a true artist. There are many great scenes of suspense, especially during Roark's poker games. The narrative voiceovers provided good insight into the character's mindset's and viewpoints, and never got to be annoying, even when coming from Alba. I was frequently entertained. While maybe not as innovative as the first, it was still a wonderful and worthy sequel and I'm glad it was released.

Don't give us shit about watching quality movies

besides with it bombing at the box office in your country, I'd be surprised if it even makes it here to the cinema or at least a limited screening.

The movie was worth the wait. It would be a shame not to see in theaters considering how amazing some of the visual effects and cinematography are.

Lestov16
I will say that I enjoyed this film thoroughly except for one aspect. There is a MASSIVE continuity error regarding Marv in this film. In this film, Marv is still alive after TYB and Hartigan were killed, even though THG and TYB story took place concurrently in the first film IIRC, meaning Marv should be dead at this point. However, he is very much alive and at the end of the film helps Nancy raid Senator Roark's mansion so she can kill Roark in revenge for Hartigan's death. It was a glaring continuity error for me, and baffling considering how much care went into the other aspects of the film's plot and production. Didn't ruin the film by any means for me, but it still stuck out.

The main reason being we see Kevin the killer when Hartigan makes his raid on the farm. Since Marv kills Kevin we can assume the events of THG take place after TYB so Marv should still be in play.

But a quote from Senator Roark is seen in the newspaper when Marv is apprehended for the Cardinal's murder, so Roark would have to be alive when Marv is killed, but that's obviously not the case in this film

Yeah, I tend to agree. But I skipped this just because of seeing some lackluster reviews. I feel ashamed now that I hear it's good. I will see it soon. But don't worry, I definitely don't support Michael Bay.

Potential spoilers ahead:

Um, in a lot of ways it was more of the same. I didn't hate it, but something did feel missing. I feel like something a little more epicly corrupt should have been going on with Rourke and all that, instead of just picking on poor little Joseph-Gordon Levitt. That turned out to be kind of lame. But I liked a lot of Josh Brolin's action and there seemed to be some sort of "eye removal" theme going through the movie. I guess I didn't really like Eva Green's character... I mean, I know we're not supposed to like her, but it just seems like we just saw her playing an evil b!tch in the 300 sequel, so it didn't feel fresh. But I kind of liked how Nancy was growing up a bit and wanted revenge. That was interesting, but it was also a little bit of a let down at the end because did she reap bloody revenge or not?? And if she did, then goddamnit why didn't we get to see the bloody aftermath??!!

That being said, I didn't like the first one a whole lot the first time I saw it, but it grew on me after another viewing or two. So this one might be the same. I certainly won't give up on it.

Nancy's final little dance would have been worth the price of admission, though....

In a movie & graphic novel series with so much grotesque imagery and leering sleaze, the most illogical thing to see is a stripper who doesn't take her top off - we can thank Jessica Alba's No Nudity clause in her contract for that. roll eyes (sarcastic)

The first film bored me somewhat as a fan of the original series, simply because it was so slavishly devoted to being a panel by panel adaption there was nothing new to chew on (Zack Snyder got a bit more room for interpretation for 300, by comparison.) I had no interest in the long-delayed second film, because Frank Miller has become a one trick pony who can't get his head out of Sin City and can't seem to do anything new. That the movie bombed critically and commercially seems like justice.

Patient_Leech
Lol, we didn't really need to see her t!ts. I didn't mind. We saw plenty of Eva Green's, haha...

Well, I can't really blame Frank Miller too much, because Sin City is such a great world. It has such potential. But I don't think that potential was quite reached with A Dame To Kill For. Shame it bombed, because I would like to see more personally, even if this one was somewhat underwhelming.

Jesus...no writer or graphic artist gets into the industry thinking that one day their work will go from paper to big screen.
If you saw Miller's earlier work it was condemned as un-commercial, his style, un-comical.
No where in Miller's career did he ever envision his Sin City series to become big screen features with respected actors attached to it, nor his take on Batman to become the bible & major influence to future comic book writers/artists much less the big screen as well.

One trick pony?
How about a lucky sonofabitch who's finally received credit for something he enjoys doing?

jinXed by JaNx
I wouldn't call, Miller a one trick, Pony but i do think his success has kept him from realizing new great works. With that said i can never reference Millers cinematic contributions in the same category as his comic achievements. I would like to see Miller as an advisor only when it comes to cinema. The Spirit was one of the worst movies i had to sit through. At any rate, i recently tried watching, A Dame to kill for and i fell asleep mid way through. So i will wait until, or if, i ever finish the movie. From what i saw, however, it seemed to undermine what the original established. Everyone seemed like they were just going by the numbers.

Patient_Leech

I have heard nothing but terrible things about The Spirit, so I have steered clear of it.

Esau Cairn
It was Miller's first directorial role.
I guess he realised directing a movie isn't as easy as it looks.

Patient_Leech
Yeah, that's basically what I heard. And I wasnt even that big a fan of 300, it was mostly just kind of pretty, but also very silly.

Esau Cairn
What did you find silly about 300?

And please don't go into a homo-erotic rant like so many do.

Patient_Leech
lol, well besides the homo erotica... laughing

The flashy images (which I will admit are sort of cool) were really just sort of a distraction and detracted from it somehow. So it just seemed silly. A little too stylized and unrealistic making it difficult to take seriously. i.e. silly.

Esau Cairn
Fair enough.

I personally found the style visually amazing for the story that was being told.

I would've hated a serious rendition of Miller's work.

Patient_Leech
Don't get me wrong, whenever I see it on I find it nearly impossible to look away.

Esau Cairn
Because of the homo erotic undertones?
