Sin City 2 News

Yeah, I was honestly starting to doubt it was ever going to really happen.

Strange, Bruce Willis said he'd come back for the 3rd movie..

Doubly strange that the Dame To Kill For story teams Marv (Mickey Rourke) and Dwight (Clive Owen), so those are the two who need to return - and Willis' character Hartigan isn't even in it, IIRC.

(Having said that, apparently Rourke doesn't want to be in it, so perhaps they're shoehorning Hartigan into his part in the story)

And just to be awkward it's set between the two storylines that were in the first movie (after The Hard Goodbye, but before That Yellow Bastard)

^ But doesn't the Clive Owen character have plastic surgery in between the stories?

I looked this up and found a few articles to that effect from 2008. However, a 2010 article seemed to indicate he was game.

Dwight gets his face rebuilt *during* A Dame To Kill For - and gets the "Clive Owen" face halfway through - so they'd maybe have someone else in for the first half, but you'd still need Owen...

Robert Rodriguez plans on shooting "Sin City 2" this summer...

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For has been officially announced:

"The first question I am always asked is "When will you make another Sin City?," said Rodriquez. "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."

Sin City creator, screenwriter and co-director Frank Miller said, "The first Sin City knocked out audiences who had never seen anything like it before. Robert Rodriguez and I are going to shake things up and deliver a ferocious film experience that is going to go even further than the first."

Casting will begin next week, with many of the original cast expected to return.

All I have to say is...finally! Looks like Rodriguez's plans to shoot in the summer are actually going to happen.

I love the first movie, so I'm very excited for this. I'm very curious to see which of the original cast members are going to come back, and who's coming in as new characters.

[PsychoPere]

Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For will be released on October 4th, 2013.

The remaining cast will be announced shortly with some huge names expected to fill the roles of Sin Ciy’s newest characters yet to be seen on the big screen.

[...] add a new dimension by bringing their unique visual style to life in 3D.

After a long period of no news we finally have some. Today was the first day of principal photography in Austin, Texas...and Jaime King is returning and Jamie Chung (Sucker Punch) will be replacing Devon Aoki as Miho.

Anyone know why Devon Aoki isn't back? I loved her as Miho in the first. But I'm sure Jaime Chung will be a good replacement, she's been pretty cool as Mulan in Once Upon A Time.

[Admiral_Young]

The article didn't say, I think she was originally supposed to but recently dropped out. What I find more interesting is that there is still significant casting left to occur.

Hopefully she's working on a live action GITS film.

[JD]

Ghost in the Shell? I'd watch that.
EDIT: I just looker her up on both Wikipedia and IMDB and she hasn't acted since 2009. She did have a kid last year, so that could be keeping her busy.
