SIN CITY 2 Gets A Release Date!!
The Kidd here...
Almost 8 ½ years after Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller were able to adapt SIN CITY from the graphic novel to the screen, we'll have our chance to see the follow-up. Dimension has announced the sequel SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR will see its release on October 4, 2013, so mark it down on your calendars now. The film is scheduled to head into production before the end of the summer, once Rodriguez wraps principal photography on MACHETE KILLS.

cool

You were saying in the Eli Roth talkback? Heh-heh. Well, finally, Rodriguez gets to filming something worth it. I only saw Machete on dvd because it looked like a piece of shit in the (new) trailer.
-
So overdue......can't wait for this to come out. I also enjoyed the solid posts from blue_demon the_luddite.....rock solid.
-
A year in post-production? That seems a bit long for something like this, unless it has to come after MACHETE KILLS. Now to continue to pray that it doesn't suck...

I'm glad a talkbacker in your last article told you about this so you could hurry up and go get it to repost
by Jaster Mareel
There's really nothing more to say is there?

He'll be back..
-
Yeah, this site has gone downhill...*sigh*
-
I miss that girl... She was great.
-
Sorry, I was wrong on the Eli Roth TB. The Kidd's 18th TB is all yours (except that giving you a bit of a Credit would have been the right thing to do...)
-
Can you kids spell A-S-S R-A-P-E ?
-
LMAO!

I am one of the people who thought Sin City missed the mark. By a lot. I know lots of people love the movie. I hated it. It was just a hyperactive cartoon. It did not at all reflective how the comics read for me. The Fact that Frank Miller "co-directed" it (He sat in a chair and said "That's great Robert" a lot) obviously meant nothing.
-
Still interested in this project..hope it kicks ass like the first one
-
Frank Miller burned up most of his goodwill since the original doing one ego-stroke project after another, all of which, print and film, were awful, wretched shit.
-
With the exception of Jessica Alba not getting naked, it was the most faithful comic book to movie translation ever.
-
In terms of adaptions. Watchmen was such a fucking disappointment. Snyder couldn't have been more wrong for that gig. Should have stuck with Gilliam.
-
Before he said all that retarded stuff about Occupy. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2011/nov/14/frank-miller-occupy-movement-rant I can't get behind someone so out of touch.
-
aside from rourke and willis, everyone gave pretty terrible, flat performances in Sin City. I chalk it up mostly to the actors not being used to acting in such total green-screen environments. That said, the movie was still a lot of fun.

Dark Knight was Miller's brainchild (Batman:Year One) and they pulled Miller off it and told Nolan to make his film like the graphic novel..
by seansarto
Nolan's track record at that point was nothing special....MILLER was one of about 3 artists that GODDAMN MADE THE COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY WORTH BILLIONS...So Miller gets The Spirit, material with low market appeal?....If I was Miller, I would serve them a nice a fat, bomb too (even if I loved the material)...the only problem is the ahole execs use crap material as a power play...because Miller is a comic book legend..and hollywood wanted to play power politics...If Miller made a hit out of low market appeal, (like he did with 300 and Sin City)then they win..If he fails, they win also, because they can use the flop as justification for not giving him a tentpole his brainchildren Wolverine/Batman)...It is pretty well known they don't like his thinking and are giving him the Phil SPecter treatment..He's a leader an they f'n know it...and they like to think they are the only leaders in in the world.
-
Cant wait for both, Machete was bad ass and Sin City was just awesome and looks amazing on Blu Ray. I want more Marv!!!

Robert needs to stop sniffing all that cocaine and shooting stuff into his arse, then he might make a movie

Or some shit. Like something .. consequential and heart felt, like a homage to a fucking dog or something.

It's weird this took so long to get greenlit when the first one thrown together in no time flat

Hell man, that makes me like him even more! I hate those Occupy twats.

SIN CITY: The movie where the parole officer goes topless but the stripper does not.
by Rebel Scumb
There has to be tons of hot blondes in Hollywood who would have taken their top off for the first film, I have no idea why they would cast Alba. Imagine Diora Baird as Nancy! or Rachel Nichols!
-
I couldn't possibly be any more indifferent to this.

Hopefully this link works: http://images.ambientphotography.ca/Best-Of/Body-Figure-Nude-Boudoir/9681693_b8chBj#!i=654169878&k=ZSD5V go to 8 & 9 (of 37)

Scared we'll how late you are to post news stores and how everything on this site comes from deadline.com?
-
NUTTIN INDA WORLD. DERE IS NUTTIN YOU CAN CLAIM DAT IS ANYTHING LIKE A DAME.
-
This and its sequel should have been released years ago...
-
at least were getting a sequel
-
We'll all be in the next dimension by then.
-
Had the right balance between seriousness, humor, action, and some film noir quality. Watched it in theaters and was a blast. It's easy to take it seriously but at the same time get a good laugh out of it. Not dark or gloomy like today's Nolan films, Bay films and everything else that's trying to rip off those 2 directors.
-
frank miller wanted to make the spirit film HIMSELF because he didn't think any real director could pull it off. so much for that idea. it was the biggest piece of shit ever adapted from a comic book
-
I wish I loved someone as much as he loved Goldie Christ, I'm putting on the DVD now ...

I love you guys who see breaking news on another site and repost it... then chide AICN for doing the same.
by kevred
You're not investigative journalists, guys. You're just guys with a lot of time on your hands reading things on news sites and then trying to draw attention to yourselves by bleating that not every news site on the web can report the exact same news at the exact same time. Want to critique AICN? Fine, I don't care. But spare us the too-cool-for-school "we got the news first!" me-me-me routine. All you're doing is sitting on the sidelines and yelling at the TV. Think you can keep up with all the news? Start a site yourself and see how easy it is. Like reading the news elsewhere? Go read it there. Like AICN and want it to be something besides what it is? Find some productive, non-lunkheaded way to encourage that. You're just making noise.

seemed like money in the bank
-
This movie is SO incredibly underrated. Fantastic flick and everyone who made it loved doing it, so yeah, someone fucked up not getting a sequel out sooner! Better late than never, but GEEEEEZ!!! BTW, did anyone find Nick Stahl yet?
-
I woulda been SO excited about this several years ago.

No one broke this story. It was press released by Dimension Films. No other information contained within to share the entire press release, unless you consider Alba and Rourke returning to be new news.

Nothing involving Jessica Alba is worthy news anyway.
by Christian Sylvain
Good call.

Twogunjames I agree the film is a big step down from the book
by Monolith_Jones
The book had the advantage of being drawn by Miller, a master storyteller. The disadvantage of the film was Rodriguez and his goofiness which totally undermined the material. The make-up, green screen sets all looked fake in a very bad way. There are sublime moments in the book, the movie looks like a video game. Rodriguez was the wrong man to make these films.
-
The role NEEDS an actress who won't shy away from the nudity, and I'd love to see Salma play an outright femme fatale. And who will play pre-surgery Dwight, and will Clive Owen do a cameo at the end?
-
Brittany Murphy was PERFECT in the first film...a literal cartoon character come to life.
-

Cool. I liked the first one quite a bit. And I like that they're sticking with the original title.
by Jaka
Also, the way the first one was filmed, if they do the second one the same way, age differences really won't matter. Everybody was dimly lit from the side, anyway.
-
It would be cool if they could cast Olgo K. also.
-
Thanks for the info..I can see why he would want to pay hommage...I haven't seen the film..but after "Darkman" it seemed rather redundant...That being said, pulling Miller off Batman speaks for itself..Nolan's track record wasn't any better than Miller's at that point...(Memento didn't do much for me) But anyone with nominal knowledge of comic books knows how hot "The Dark Knight" property was...(keep in mind the aged Supean/Batman fight in the graphic novels is GOLD..and NOW the execs are going to broker it to not the best players..but their best investments)..There's no denying that Miller gave some much needed new life with those graphic novels..(Batman, though a staple, had pretty much leveled out) ...At the same time making graphic novels lucrative.

did anyone see that Black&white mo-cap animated movie 'Renissance'?
by Rebel Scumb
That's how they should have done Sin City. Either that, or at least boost all the contrast up to pure black&white like the scene where Dwight is drowning Del Toro in the toilet

Robert Rodriguez could not direct a decent movie if his life depended on it. People who like this garbage need to grow up.
by MENTALDOMINANCE
-
Right up there with The Phantom Menace. Tough to forgive Frank Miller for that mess, especially since The Spirit so obviously influenced Sin City.

WooHoo!!!!

seansarto, Nolan's track record nothing special pre-BB?
by TheLastCleric
Nolan debuted with Memento, which was universally praised as brilliant and divergent filmmaking and he followed that up with the well-made thriller Insomnia. That strikes me as a pretty great track record for an early director. As to Miller, I respect the man immensely but I don’t think he’s got the chops for directing and I certainly couldn’t see him leading the charge on a massive project like Batman. I actually tried to give The Spirit a fair shake but the film was miserable and any decent director should have seen that. Also, let’s be honest and not pretend Batman Begins was lifted verbatim from Year One. Other comics such as The Long Halloween were just as influential in the creation of that script.
-
Yeah? That's cool. I'll just be over here in the corner...alone.
-
I wish we all were as smart and tasteful as you. People didn't like the look of "Sin City" because we were tricked into thinking it was new, or whatever the fuck pretentious bullshit you just shat onto the talkback up there. The co-directors did an amazing job of making a live-action film that looked almost exactly like the black-and-white comic book source material. In case you didn't actually want a well-reasoned rebuttal, and you just like trolling so people will swear at you, here: go fuck yourself, you self-fellating piece of human garbage.

tjcool: Rodriguez is too immature and juvinile to make a decent movie. Crap like this plays exactly like what it is - 4 year old wank material. Cotton candy, not steak.
by MENTALDOMINANCE
It's disappointing to see how many people have no clue when it comes to detecting what makes a film good or not. There are Rodriguez fanboys who will say his films are good but the reasons are always the reasons I HATE his movies - Stupid overblown and unbelievable things happening? CHECK Nudity and "hot chicks with guns" because that's what 14 year olds think is cool? CHECK. Complete lack of sensible or believable plot or characters? CHECK MTV sensibilities? CHECK Comic book references and cliches'? CHECK What's sad is when you see crap directors like Robert Rodriguez consistently being given green lights. He could care less about the quality of his films - in fact, that's the whole point. This whole "grindhouse" style of making a film in the laziest and crappiest fashion and then saying you did it on purpose... Well... You're a fucking idiot and your fans are idiots if you think like this. We need movies with real SUBSTANCE that are saying something not just playing around. We are glutted to death with lazy comic book fare. It isn't like there isn't craploads of this type of shit everywhere you look! But where are all the serious adult films? GO PROMETHEUS! Show them what real film making is about!

Wow... a sequel that I actually want to see and that doesn't make me nauseous!

Is that you don't like comic book movies? Okay. Well, aside from the fact that "Sin City" came out before the comic-book-movie-cash-grab, the fact that it was so close to the source material was absolutely something new for an adaptation. But really, if you don't like comics/comic movies, nothing I say is going to change your mind. I cold sit here all night writing about all the things to like about it, but you could just shut it down with "I don't like comic movies." Maybe I was a little harsh up there (I was in a shit mood that day), but I take issue with the fact that you wrote your opinions as fact. It wasn't "I'm not a fan of this", it was "This is shitty, and if you like it, you're stupid". That's my issue with about half the people who post comments here, they can't just say "this is my opinion". Simply saying "this isn't my thing" or "I feel this way about it" would go a long way to making people actually have a conversation with you instead of telling you to fuck off. But like I said, all this will most likely fall on deaf ears. Bottom line: A lot of us liked the first movie, and are looking forward to the second. If you didn't, and you aren't, that's too bad. Me and the others will get to watch a cool movie and have a good time (and watch stuff like "Prometheus" and "Dark Knight Rises" and probably enjoy them too), and I guess you won't. Too bad, I guess.
