Actors Bruce Willis starred alongside Jessica Alba in the Sin City films directed by Robert Rodriguez. The first Sin City would require Willis and Alba to exchange a passionate kiss. But Willis was initially uneasy about making out with the young star.

Alba and Willis both starred in the 2005 feature Sin City as Nancy and detective John Hartigan respectively. The movie was adapted from Frank Miller’s graphic novel of the same name, featuring both Willis and Alba in a growing relationship.
Alba was initially attracted to the role because she was excited about the idea of working with filmmaker Robert Rodriguez.

There's a cheeky little gag in 2019's "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part" where the Master Builder Lucy, aka Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), crosses paths with the Lego version of Bruce Willis (voiced by the real Willis) while crawling around in an air duct. "I spend a lot of time in air ducts. I definitely don't live up here. I have a home," he awkwardly assures her before crawling away.
While the joke is an obvious riff on Willis' air duct hijinks from "Die Hard," it also doubles as a wry nod to the fact he spent much of his career acting in action movies (right up until his retirement in 2022 after being diagnosed with aphasia) thanks to his star-making turn as John McClane in John McTiernan's 1988 hit. It was certainly an unexpected fate for the actor, who first made a name for himself with his screwball detective antics...

Playing a sexy avenger suits Jessica Alba just fine. In Sin City; A Dame to Kill For - opening Friday - Alba reprises her role of Nancy Callahan, a former damsel in distress who's seeking retribution over her dead protector, John Hartigan (Bruce Willis). As a working mom of Honor, 6, and Haven, 3, Alba can especially relate to her character's fearlessness. "I don't have anything to lose," the actress, 33, tells People. "I feel like I've done all the hard work. I really was married to my work for so long that I've kind of been there, done that. I was ready...

Chicago – When the first “Sin City” (2005) was released – based on the graphic novels by Frank Miller – the conversion of a film to a noir-like comic book atmosphere was pioneering. The sequel “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” has heightened that look, but this time has much less to say.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
With an all-star cast, and leftover revenge factors from the first film, co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller – with a guest director credit from Quentin Tarantino – pile on the quality kills, nudity and extreme gunplay. This plays fine for the 15-year-old boy in all of us, but doesn’t challenge itself beyond that commonality, and the film suffers from a redundancy that starts to draw away even from the super hyper, black-and-white city of darkness. “Sin City” still packs a jolt to the senses, but once the first wave hits, the rest hit the shore with diminishing power.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
Written by Frank Miller
Directed by Robert Rodriguez & Frank Miller
USA, 2014
When Sin City exploded into theaters in 2005, we had never seen anything like it. It was a resounding declaration that digital filmmaking had finally arrived. The new Robert Rodriquez-Frank Miller collaboration, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, may lack the novelty and humanity of its predecessor, but it still manages to (re)capture the same bonkers spirit. Much like its leading ladies, Dame eventually seduces you with its gorgeousness and gore. It isn’t nearly as accomplished as Sin City, but the amazing visuals and audacious style will help this dame show you a good time.
Frank Miller’s script isn’t a puzzle to be solved so much as a circuitous diversion to mess with your melon. Some of the stories in Dame take place before the events of Sin City,...

The bloom is off the rose. Nine years removed from Robert Rodriguez's first turn with Frank Miller's Sin City, it appears they think the visual aesthetic that wowed us when it was new in 2005 will continue to wow us now. It doesn't, and that was proven already once this year with 300: Rise of an Empire, and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For lands with a similarly dull thud. As a 102-minute visual effects reel it does offer some pretty images (an endlessly naked Eva Green chief among them) but my ears are still ringing from all the Dolby-enhanced, wet, bloody fist pounding this film delivers whenever the tinkling of broken glass or gruff voice over isn't pummeling my senses. Like the last installment, A Dame to Kill For, features a series of separate storylines, interwoven, but not necessarily connected. In fact, the best of the bunch featuring...

The release of Sin City: A Dame To Kill For inspires James to look back at its film noir roots, and some classic examples of the genre...
"Things go dark. I don't mind much. It's okay." John Hartigan, Sin City.
We're at the shadowy back-end of the summer blockbuster season and darkness is entering the frame. Here comes ultraviolence, sleaze, crime and death, all beautifully shot in macabre high-contrast monochrome. Just when you thought you'd got yourself clean and were all peppy after some upbeat family-friendly popcorn thrills, here's Sin City: A Dame To Kill For to darken up the doorways. (And it will light up a cigarette in those doorways and spit out some tough dialogue from between its bloodstained teeth while it's lingering there.)

Nine years after the first Sin City materialized at the multiplex like a breath of unexpected fresh air, what reasons do directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller have for finally returning to their smoke-filled, black-and-white den of iniquity? If I wanted to pithily sum up what this follow-up brings to the table, I could do it in just two words: Eva Green. Her sexy, scheming Ava Lord is a truly hypnotic creation, and alone worth delving back into Rodriguez and Miller’s noir-drenched world. Excitingly, though, there’s more to Sin City: A Dame To Kill For than just the devious femme fatale of its title.
Like the first Sin City, this sequel is made up of a loosely connected series of stories, but there are really two main threads to keep track of. In one, the villainous Senator Roark (Powers Boothe) is twice targeted by revenge – first by cocky...

He haunts her and tells her to give up on revenge, so of course she does the exact opposite, looking to kill Powers.

But it appears as though Nancy’s been having a hard time since her mentor, John Hartigan (Bruce Willis), committed suicide in the last film. In the new clip, we see her in the bathroom talking to her reflection. “Maybe I’ll prove both you wrong,” she says. “Maybe I’ll go crazy. Crazy’s sounding pretty good right now.” She then proceeds to chop off all of her hair with a pair of scissors.

I’m beyond excited for August’s Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, in which Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez return to the seedy locale of their stylized 2006 noir hit. The flick looks completely awesome, with the addition of talented actors like Eva Green and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, along with returning faves like Jessica Alba and Mickey Rourke. One thing that has been a little tricky for the film’s marketing department to nail down, however, is exactly how Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is going to feel.
In the second clip from the movie, we see Alba’s stripper Nancy Callahan seething after the death of her longtime mentor and protector John Hartigan (Bruce Willis). There’s definitely a lot of style going on in the clip, but it feels oddly slight. Perhaps we’ll need to wait until the R-rated version hits screens to see whether the pulpy,...

Next month's "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" is a long overdue sequel to 2005's stylistically groundbreaking comic book adaption "Sin City" (the comic book creator, Frank Miller, ended up co-directing the film with Robert Rodriguez, as he does again here). The first film was bold and provocative, plunging you neck-deep into the seedy world of cops, criminals, dangerous women, and straight-up psychopaths, but in a way that was dizzy and fun, rendered in starkly black-and-white comic book compositions. It was film noir writ large. And "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" looks bigger, bloodier, and even more brutalizing, if this new clip is any indication.
The brief clip (running a little over a half-a-minute) is centered around Jessica Alba's character Nancy, who appeared in the first film both in flashback (when she was terrorized by a character called The Yellow Bastard) and in present day (where...

Finally, this summer will see the arrival of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, a follow-up to Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s 2005 insta-classic film noir Sin City. Genre fans have been patiently biding their time until the sequel’s August release, but it’s hard not to get excited when the marketing department is unveiling posters like this and trailers as crazily awesome as this. Now, the first clip for the movie has landed online.
Though it does suffer from a lack of context, the clip finds Rosario Dawson’s Gail, a slinky femme fatale who led the prostitutes of Old Town in a fight against corrupt police in the first Sin City, living dangerously. She seductively presses herself against the hood of a car, much to the glee of a nameless henchman. It’s only when she baits him enough to be nearby when she opens the trunk,...

2013 has come and gone and my thoughts on the best movies of last year can be seen here. Now it’s 2014 it’s another year for great movies; here is a list of movies I’m most looking forward to seeing and can only hope they don’t let me down. I didn’t forget the big ones that may appear on a lot of lists (X-men: Days of Future Past, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America), I might even watch them; they just didn’t end up on my radar.

In a city without justice, outlaws become heroes – and this is very much the case in Robert Rodriquez’s upcoming sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, which is based on the graphic novels of Frank Miller.
Basin City, the aforementioned “sin city,” is overrun with greed, lust, and a whole gamut of crime. Poor, sweet Becky (Alexis Bledel) didn’t have a chance.
Johnny, a gambler (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Ava (Eva Green), Dwight McCarthy’s (both Josh Brolin and Clive Owen) duplicitous former lover, are the newcomers to this neo-noir, joining returning Basin City residents Marv (Mickey Rourke), John Hartigan (Bruce Willis), and Nancy (Jessica Alba). Sin City: A Dame to Kill For also starsRay Liotta, Rosario Dawson, Ray Liotta, Juno Temple, and Lady Gaga.

Things are looking bleak for all of our antiheroes in the latest trailer for Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
Co-directors Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez have been coy about the plot details so far — especially since two of the four stories are Miller originals, but now it seems they’re ready to tease specifics — including a ghost version of John Hartigan (Bruce Willis), who was killed off in the first film. Here, his presence seems to be driving Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba) to vengeance (and madness). We also get a glimpse into Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s mysterious,...

In this town, the bad guys are good, and the good guys ... well, there are none.
The full-length trailer for "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" hit the Internet today and the sequel to the 2005 comic-come-to-life is even more visually stunning as the original. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, "A Dame to Kill For" features a killer cast, including Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mickey Rourke, Eva Green, and Powers Boothe.
The movie contains four loosely-connected vignettes, but Willis and Alba's gets the most screentime in the trailer. Alba's Nancy Callahan is fierce as she plots vengeance against the Senator (Boothe) for his part in John Hartigan's death in the first movie.
"Maybe I'll go crazy. Crazy's sounding pretty good right now," she growls.
The footage -- stark black and white, with splashes of color here and there -- looks great. It's a comic book; what else can we say?...

Anyone who saw this year’s 300: Rise of an Empire would probably agree that the film wouldn’t have been nearly as fun without Eva Green’s voluptuous, promiscuous femme fatale Artemisia. Luckily for filmgoers, Rise of an Empire wasn’t a one-off; Green has made a name for herself playing similarly sultry seductresses, appearing as sorceress Morgan le Fay in Starz’s short-lived Camelot series and as sexy spellcaster Angelique in Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows. However, she’ll be taking on her biggest bombshell role yet this summer, when she appears as the titular character in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Now, the most risqué tease we’ve seen for the sequel thus far has set off some alarms over at the MPAA… which is why I imagine the marketing team submitted it in the first place.

One of my favorite movies is 2005′s Sin City, a gorgeously shot film noir (adapted from Frank Miller’s iconic graphic novel) with brilliant acting, gleefully graphic violence and glorious eye candy in Jessica Alba, Jaime King, Carla Gugino and Rosario Dawson. Pulpy and imaginative, it still dazzles nine years later. So, to say I’m looking forward to the long-in-the-works follow-up, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For would be an understatement. Even with Inherent Vice, Interstellar and Godzilla on the way, it’s the film I’m most eagerly anticipating this year.
Now, three new images have hit the web, highlighting actors Eva Green, Josh Brolin and Jessica Alba. Of those, Green and Brolin are both newcomers to the Sin City universe, while Alba is reprising her role as exotic dancer Nancy Callahan, who struggles to cope with the suicide of her protector John Hartigan (Bruce Willis) in...

"I really held back the first time, because I didn’t know whether audiences would go for it, " said director Robert Rodriguez about 2005's Sin City back in the spring of 2012, but he admitted that things would change for the sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. "This one is going to push way further towards the books. It’s going to shock and surprise people."
It may be too early to tell whether Rodriguez has pulled off his promise, but the look of the first trailer for A Dame to Kill For picks up right where the original left off, utilizing stark black-and-white photography with the occasional color flourish as it depicts a city of ill intent and questionable morals. Mickey Rourke is back as the tough and grizzled Marv and Jessica Alba returns as the stripper with a heart of gold Nancy Callahan, who has revenge on...

Legendary graphic novelist Frank Miller’s super-stylized gang of strippers and scoundrels is back on the big screen for four tales of pulpy intrigue in the 3-D neo-noir sequel Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (out Aug. 22).
Jessica Alba’s Nancy Callahan is still dancing at Kadie’s, but she’s changed since John Hartigan’s (Bruce Willis) death in the original 2005 cult classic. “She’s out for revenge,” says Miller, who co-directed the film. “She is sick of being treated — as she puts it — ‘as a piece of ass.’” Robert Rodriguez, who also returns to co-helm the project,...

Here's further evidence in the poster, which is now online via Yahoo. The film, as with the first, is keeping stylistically close to Frank Miller’s work, with the Sin City creator once more returning to co-direct with Robert Rodriguez.

Who needs The Expendables? Certainly not action legend and legendarily difficult interviewee Bruce Willis, who has headed instead to a very different type of film, which finds him playing a man who shoots rainbows out of his… Actually, it’s another action thriller, called The Prince.Sarik Andreasyan is directing, working from a script by Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore that finds a retired Las Vegas mob enforcer who must return to Sin City when his teenage daughter goes missing. So… a bit like Taken, then?Willis won’t be playing the main man. He’s actually taking on what will likely be a villainous role as someone who has waited years for the enforcer to return and is ready to kick off a confrontation.Andreasyan is locking in other cast members now, and plans to start shooting next month in New Orleans.

Los Angeles — By now it's clear that nothing and no one can kill Bruce Willis, whose fifth film in the "Die Hard" franchise, the horribly titled "A Good Day to Die Hard," opens this week.
It is not his finest hour. At 57, he still wreaks havoc and looks great in a tight T-shirt but he doesn't seem to be enjoying himself very much. Still, it's a good opportunity to look back at five of the best performances in Willis' eclectic, enduring career:
_ "Die Hard" (1988): I had a huge crush on him as the quick-witted David Addison on "Moonlighting," which seems kinda creepy in retrospect, given that I was in junior high when the series launched and he's 17 years old than I am. But that role set the stage for the character that would go on to define his career: wisecracking New York cop John McClane. Willis is at his...

Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame To Kill For may be one of the few projects in history that has added the bulk of its cast only after the start of production. Cameras began rolling down in Texas all the way back in late October, and in the months since the production has added high quality stars like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin, Dennis Haysbert, Christopher Meloni, Ray Liotta, Juno Temple, Jeremy Piven and even convinced Bruce Willis to return as ex-cop John Hartigan. But Rodriguez still isn't done - mostly because he still hasn't found his leading lady. But that wait is officially over. We have been waiting to find out which actress would end up playing the part of femme fatale Ava Lord in the main story of Sin City: A Dame To Kill For and today Dimension Films has revealed their choice.

Last night, news broke that Bruce Willis will be back for the sequel, reprising his role as Detective John Hartigan in the follow-up to the 2005 hit. Rodriguez himself confirmed the actor’s return to MTV, saying “Bruce is back, you’ll be seeing him.” That sounds like great news to us, even if it’s not exactly a surprise. This wasn’t the only detail Rodriguez was willing to divulge, either.

"Bruce is back, you'll be seeing him," Robert Rodriguez confirmed to MTV. Willis will return as Detective John Hartigan, a staple of 2005's original Sin City. Rodriguez also fleshed out Joseph Gordon-Levitt's newly announced role, saying he'll play "a very cocky gambler who comes in and tries to beat the biggest villain in Sin City at his own game." And the "dame" in that Dame to Kill For subtitle — the one that's been rumored to be Angelina Jolie forever – hasn't been cast yet.

After major doubts about his status, Bruce Willis is now confirmed to star in Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City sequel A Dame To Kill For.
Bruce Willis’ character John Hartigan committed suicide in the original film, and is only likely to appear in flash backs, though his actual involvement is still unclear at this stage.
Rodriguez did however confirm to MTV that he will be back;
“Bruce is back, so you’ll be seeing him.”
Willis is the latest Hollywood actor confirmed to reprise his role from the original, joining Clive Owen and Jessica Alba as recurring characters Dwight McCarthy and Nancy Callahan respectively – though Owen will only appear in post-facial reconstruction scenes, with McCarthy being largely portrayed by Josh Brolin in the sequel.
