Is SIN CITY 2 moving along? Slowly.

Mania.com spoke with producer Stephen L'Heureux and got some information about a couple of comic films he's got coming up. Two of them are from Frank Miller.

One of the was of course SIN CITY 2, which seems like a tornado of rumors in development hell. However, L'Heureux says that CITY 2 will go into production during the second half of 2010. The sequel will be getting a different treatment, instead of using the graphic novels for the screenplay, Miller will write an original script. Of course, like the first, Miller will co-direct with Rodriguez.

Well, we already knew that it was going to be a long while if we ever saw the second installment especially since Miller is going to do a movie based on one of his other comics, HARD BOILED. The movie is in the very early stages says L'Heureux "We're still developing it. We got the project in turnaround from Warner Bros and Frank. It's such a pleasure to work with someone like Frank Miller. He's so smart and passionate about story at all levels from 1940s noir pulp to modern film." The comic is insanely but brilliantly violent. The main character, Nixon is a jaded cyborg tax collector who is a little pissed his life wasn't what he thought it would be and happens to be the last hope for the robot race.

I'd be down for whatever projects Miller wanted to do. While I loved SIN CITY, with all the back and forth talks about a second and even a third, I really don't get as antsy about it anymore. As I expected, L'Heureux did bring up the third, "With 'Sin City' just on the horizon I don't think we'd be able to do it with Frank right away. As simple as 'Sin City' seems, it's a very complex scheduling with all these actors and it's a very demanding shoot to be on a sound stage all day long. We have to space it for Frank. There's also talk, of course, of 'Sin City 3'."

Sin City 2 & 3
Get started already. When they start they should try to shoot them back to back.

on hard bolied
hard boiled worked brilliantly in the comic book format. i'm sceptical if it would work on film though. half the pleasure of the book was not so much the outrageous violence but in how geoof darrow explicitly drew and depicted that outrageous violence. you read the book in 10 minutes but went back and stared at the pages for hours, catching new details every time. not done correctly,the film...

on sin city 2
i'm actually more intrigued by the idea of miller writing a completely original made for the big screen script for sin city 2 as i didn't much care for sin city one only because i was such a fan of the books the movie had no real surprise elements for me. it really was the book as is on film, which was visually stunning but made for a lackluster movie experience for me storywise.

"Insanely but brilliantly violent"
Short but brilliantly stated. Yeah, that's pretty much it.



As for the extra tidbit, I'm a simple man. Any Army of Darkness cover puts a smile on my face.

At this point, all I want is to see Diora Baird as Nancy. And more Mickey Rourke as Marv. I know he gets comeback credit for The Wrestler but as far as I'm concerned, Sin City was his comeback.

I'm all for another Sin City--but Frank Miller writing a new script for it? That doesn't sound so good. Everyone knows Frank's lost his fucking mind.



And you have to get pt. 2 done before you start talking about pt. 3. WTF?



Never read Hard Boiled--I think I'm going to have to check that out.



For the tidbit, off the top of my head--always loved...">

Fuckin' No...
Did anyone SEE The Spirit? Frank Miller CANNOT write screenplays and CANNOT direct... period.



You are not a filmmaker, Frank Miller, you are a comic book writer. Stick to what you do best, and let Rodriquez adapt and direct your novels. The end.

The Goon, issues 20 and 29 are pretty cool.

Right sin city 2, what's the point? They already did the best books in the first film. 'A dame to kill for' is good, but doesn't compare with 'Hard goodbye' or 'Yellow Bastard'.
