Benicio Del Toro and Clive Owen have joined the cast of Robert Rodriguez's
Sin City, according to Variety.
Rodriguez wrote the script and is co-directing the screen version of the graphic novel series with its creator Frank Miller.
The noir drama is divided into three chapters named for titles in the Miller series: "Sin City," "That Yellow Bastard" and "The Big Fat Kill."
Del Toro and Owen will be seen in the last segment, along with Brittany Murphy.
Rodriguez still hopes to draft Quentin Tarantino to direct at least part of that segment, once the
Kill Bill helmer returns from presiding over the Cannes Film Festival jury.
Despite persistent rumors, neither Leonardo DiCaprio nor Johnny Depp committed to "Sin." Still, Rodriguez cajoled quite a few name performers to take part, including Bruce Willis, Josh Hartnett, Mickey Rourke, Nick Stahl, Jessica Alba, Elijah Wood, Carla Gugino, Jaime King and Marley Shelton.
Sin City is currently shooting in Austin, Texas.
