Miller: Sin 2 Is Ready To Go

Frank Miller, who wrote and co-directed Sin City based on his popular graphic novels, told SCI FI Wire that Sin City 2 is a go and that he hopes to be in Texas to shoot the film by late spring. Miller and Robert Rodriguez will again share directing duties on the sequel.

"The script is largely done, and now we're in that limbo zone where we're casting and making script adjustments as we go," Miller said in an interview while promoting 300, which he executive-produced and which is also based on one of his graphic novels.

Miller added that the sequel will be based on A Dame to Kill for, the second Sin City tale and a prequel to The Hard Goodbye, which was the basis of one of the first film's storylines. The sequel will also deal with "a couple of old stories and one brand-new one," Miller said. "The old ones are a couple of 'Blue Eyes' stories, and there's an 'Old Town Girls' story, and the new one features Nancy Callahan [played by Jessica Alba] in a very different, very scary role. I'm hoping we'll start in late spring. It gets pretty hot in Austin, so there might be a summer's interruption there, but both Robert and I really want to be shooting this thing as soon as possible."

i'll be there

Just watched a recut extended version of Sin City last night. Liked it a lot more then the theatrical version. Felt even more like a comic book. Definetly game when this comes out.

people were saying this wasn't going to start filming for a long time so i'm happy it will this spring.

I can't wait for this.

It's about time Rodriguez got this one off the ground. I really want to see more of this universe.

hells yes

ill see it

the main storyline centers on clive owen, which i'm excited about after children of men.

Yeah but if you read the books or remember from the first movie, he had a different face in A Dame to Kill For. I'm not sure how they'll work around that.

sounds sweet

Johnny Depp.

Could be interesting, but do you really think?

i'm sure they'll figure out something with clive and the face. i mean 99% of the movie is computer generated.

and johnny depp is said to be playing wallace in sin city 3: hell and back

Can Depp pull the character off? Clive Owen is a much better actor and physically matches the part much better.

Hahah, what? Not to take anything from Owen but how exactly did you come to the conclusion that he is a much better actor than Depp?

Even if Owen isn't a better actor he still matches the part better than Depp.

Yeah, that I agree with, but then again, Depp can pull pretty much anything off.
