'Sin City 2' has an official release date...and a poster!

17 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

Dimension Films announced today that the long-promised sequel to Sin City will hit theaters in October 4, 2013, roughly eight and a half years after Robert Rodriguez started promising everyone a sequel to Sin City. The film is titled Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and will reunite Rodriguez with co-director Frank Miller. The press release only confirms two returning cast members: Mickey Rourke as lovable Cro-Magnon sociopath Marv, and Jessica Alba as your dancing Jessica Alba screensaver. But the studio promises “the remaining cast will be announced shortly with some huge names expected.”

Sin City 2 and Machete Kills Teaser Posters

14 May 2012 10:01 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Are you prepared to bathe yourself in the ultra-violence that director Robert Rodriguez is planning for us with his upcoming sequels Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and Machete Kills. The films are supposed to shoot this spring and summer, and thanks to The Playlist, we have our first look at the teaser posters for each of the movies.

The plot for the Sin City 2 comes from the stories A Dame To Kill For, Just Another Saturday Night, and a new one Frank Miller wrote called The Long, Bad Night, which apparently centers on Jessica Alba's character Nancy Callahan who will be the connection between the two films. I guess we can also expect the return of Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson, Devon Aoki, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Clive Owen.

Machete Kills features our hero Machete being "recruited by the U.S. Government for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man. »

Promo Posters For 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For' & 'Machete Kills' Arrive

14 May 2012 6:25 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

After all the empty promises over the years, we can hardly believe it either: a sequel to Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's "Sin City" is set to begin production this spring with many of the original cast expected to return. To whet appetites, we now have a promo poster for the film, titled "Sin City: A Dame To Kill For," which plays it generic but bares enough of the neo-noir hallmarks of its predecessor to entice.

So where will the sequel take us? Miller previously told us that Jessica Alba's Nancy Callahan character will be the link between the two movies, with the plot to be based on stories such as the eponymous "A Dame To Kill For," "Just Another Saturday Night" and a new one titled "The Long, Bad Night" -- the latter of which Miller wrote to tie things together and presumably centers on Callahan.

Is This The First Teaser Poster For Sin City: A Dame To Kill For?

13 May 2012 2:51 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

It’s very early days for the long awaited sequel to Sin City but we believe a teaser poster for Sin City: A Dame To Kill For has emerged over the weekend. It holds the hallmarks of an official release with all the production companies listed but, more intriguingly, it confirms that Robert Rodriquez and Frank Miller will be co-directing this follow-up to truly unique 2005 hit. It’s been confirmed that Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson and Michael Madsen will star with Devon Aoki rumoured at this stage. In the meantime, check out the poster below and let us know what you think:

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is currently set for a 2013 release. The official synopsis has this to say:

In the dark bowels of Sin City, Dwight plans to have his vengeance against the woman who betrayed him, Ava Lord, while Nancy is trying to cope with Hartigan’s death. »

The 10 greatest Jason Statham films

4 May 2012 4:15 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

To celebrate the presence of Safe in UK cinemas, here’s an updated list of action hero Jason Statham’s very best films to date…

2011 was without doubt Jason Statham’s best year so far. He managed a grand total of four cinematic releases, though at one point that total was nearer six, until 13 seemed to vanish without a trace and Safe was sensibly pushed back to 2012, thus avoiding an overload of machismo greater than the average human could cope with.

As a result of his insane productivity, our long-standing list of his greatest movies so far needed an update, an event that will hopefully need to be done annually, as he continues to be one of the most productive actors working today.

Statham’s still sensibly chosen to concentrate on making action movies and thrillers all squarely aimed at an adult audience, providing a constant and much-needed fix for someone as bloodthirsty as me, »

Sin City 2 is a go... at last!

14 April 2012 3:37 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

It's been in development for what seems like an eternity, but now it's official at long last - Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller are set to go into production on the long-awaited Sin City 2 this summer. As expected, the follow-up will be entitled Sin City: A Dame To Kill For - implying naturally that the story will be based around Miller's second Sin City yarn, A Dame To Kill For (Miller is also thought to have crafted a brand new story, The Long Bad Night, especially for the film) - and the sequel will be produced by Ar Films and Rodriguez's Quick Draw Productions, with Dimension Films handling North American distribution.

Miller and Rodriguez will once again serve as co-directors on the film and casting is scheduled to begin next week, with the official press release stating that "many of the original cast are expected to return". Characters from the »

‘Sin City’ Sequel ‘A Dame to Kill For’ Goes into Production

13 April 2012 3:39 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

Seven years after the original and countless hopeful sequel headlines later, Robert Rodriguez and graphic novelist Frank Miller are officially re-teaming for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

Miller and Academy Award winner William Monahan (The Departed) wrote the screenplay. “Casting will begin next week, with many of the original cast expected to return,” says the official press release out of Austin, Texas, where the sequel will finally shoot this summer.

Rodriguez adds, “I have wanted to re-team with Frank Miller and return to the world he created since the day we wrapped the original, but have felt a duty to the fans to wait until we had something truly exceptional that would meet and exceed what have become epic expectations. A Dame To Kill For will certainly be worth the wait.”

Miller’s graphic novel of the same name was released in 1993 as the second in his Sin City »

Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For Begins Casting Next Week!

13 April 2012 3:10 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Sin City 2 is finally happening. No, seriously this time.

After promising for years that they will get around to a sequel to their 2005 neo-noir classic “next summer” or “next fall”, Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller have finally nailed down a production start of “this summer” at Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas. To prove they are serious about the film going in front of cameras, Dimension Films, Ar Films and Rodriguez’s own Quick Draw Productions announced last night that they will even begin casting next week.

“The first question I am always asked is “When will you make another Sin City?,” Rodriquez said in a statement. “I have wanted to re-team with Frank Miller and return to the world he created since the day we wrapped the original, but have felt a duty to the fans to wait until we had something truly exceptional that would meet and exceed what have become epic expectations. »

Robert Rodriguez claims that Sin City 2 will shoot this year

17 March 2012 6:45 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

During the unveiling of his animation company Quickdraw Productions at the SXSW Film Festial earlier this week, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez dropped an update on Sin City 2, stating that the long-in-development sequel to his and Frank Miller's cult 2005 comic book adaptation is likely to go into production this summer, once Rodriguez has finished up with directing duties on the previously announced Machete Kills.

Talk of a sequel to Sin City can be traced way back to early 2007 when co-director Frank Miller suggested a Spring start date, only for the project to encounter delays due to Rodriguez's involvement with his proposed - and ultimately abandoned - Barbarella remake. Another false start occured in 2009 when it was reported that The Weinstein Company had lost the rights to Miller's series and it wasn't until last August that the sequel seemed to be back on track, with Rodriguez stating that the script - »

Robert Rodriguez Says ‘Sin City 2′ Will Film This Summer

14 March 2012 6:58 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

We’ve heard him say it a million times in the past but Robert Rodriguez has once again claimed that the extremely long-gestating Sin City 2 will begin production this summer. The Austin filmmaker was speaking at the South by Southwest festival on Tuesday and was talkative but refused to confirm which of the large original cast would be returning. However he did reveal that he had held talks already with actors for Sin City 2 and also Machete Kills, adding that casting for both movies will be “of the same caliber and eclecticism” as their respective originals.

Rodriguez says he will shoot Machete Kills, a sequel to his 2009 Grindhouse B-movie actioner in April, before moving on to Sin City 2 in the summer. This backs up Frank Miller’s comments back in October that the Sin City sequel would finally get made this year.
