Grindhouse Bombing Affects Sin City 2?[/b]
Source: Premiere.com May 29, 2007

Premiere.com has posted some interesting comments from Michael Madsen. The actor says that the bombing of Grindhouse might have halted progress on Sin City 2. Both Grindhouse and Sin City were co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and released by Dimension Films:

Some of the other things that you have got coming up include Sin City 2.
They haven't shot it yet. I don't know if they ever will. I am not sure [about] the franchise. I think the Grindhouse thing didn't kind of work out...

...as well as they had hoped. Certainly not in the States.
I don't know what effect that is going to have on making Sin City 2. Sin City was Mickey [Rourke]'s film. Mickey is f**king incredible in that f**king movie. He is the movie. And I am happy for Mickey. Mickey is the real deal. Mickey is Mickey. And you can't f**k with that. And he did a tremendous job in that thing. The only reason I did it was because Robert Rodriguez said that if I took that little part I would get a bigger role in the sequel, that Bob would have more to do in the sequel. So I said: "Okay, fine." I am sitting on an apple box [in front of a green screen] and then when you see the movie, you're in a car. I don't understand it. I don't know how to do that. I don't get it.

Ugh, there better be a Sin City 2!

I hope there is, and I hope it's good.

[malicious32dll]

In my opinion, this is one of the only movies that should even have a sequel.

[sacrilegend]

Yeah, I'm scared it'll suck because 99% of sequels do.

Nah, they barely scratched the surface of the best Sin City stories in the first one. (Hell and Back, anyone?) Still, I wouldn't mind if they didn't make a second one.

Sin City 2 Still on, But It Will Have to Wait

A few days ago, Michael Madsen was quoted saying that the poor performance of Grindhouse might affect whether Sin City 2 will be made. Not true, according to words from Frank Miller in a new interview at Rotten Tomatoes:

Of course, by stroke of coincidence we learned just before we sat down with Miller that Robert Rodriguez had been signed onto a remake of the classic sixties sex flick "Barbarella." So what of "Sin City 2"? Rumours swirl that the project has been stalled by the breakdown of Rodriguez' marriage. "Sin City 2 is still likely to happen," says Miller, "just not right away. The script is written and Robert and I are raring to go, but it looks like I'm going to be doing The Spirit first and Robert's going to be doing Barbarella first."

Frank Miller’s Return Trip To ‘Sin City’ Still Moving Forward

Walk down the right back alley in “Sin City” and you can find almost anything. Walk down the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards and you can find even more.

Two years after “Sin City” thrilled audiences with its revolutionary style, author and co-director Frank Miller was eager to tease fans with talk of the sequel. “Robert [Rodriguez] and I have a script and we’re all raring to go. We’re aching to get started,” he said. “I want to work with that crew again…that wonderful cast.”

Rodriguez previously revealed to MTV News that the film will be an adaptation of Miller’s “A Dame to Kill For,” a prequel to “The Big Fat Kill.” But what Miller could really use is a Big Fat Starting Date. With Miller set to direct “The Spirit” and Rodriguez gearing up for a remake of “Barbarella,” it was recently announced that filming on the sequel would be pushed back.

“There was just some problems above us that I don’t understand…that I don’t really want to understand,” Miller said matter of factly about studio delays in pre-production. All of which shouldn’t bum out fans, he insisted, since he expects not only to eventually film “Sin City 2,” but “Sin City 3” as well. That story, Rodriguez divulged, would concentrate on Miller’s “Hell and Back,” the story of a hallucinating artist named Wallace. Rumors have persisted for months that the role of Wallace was being written for Johnny Depp, a casting coup that Rodriguez himself was coyly confident would eventually happen.

As for Miller? “I ain’t talking cast until we’re actually shooting,” he said, a large smile crossing his face at the possibility of getting Depp, “or close to it!”

What do you think of this? Ptahole, is this one a good choice?

Info on it:

Hell and Back (A Sin City Love Story)
A large portion of the comic, wherein he finds himself hallucinating, is then done in full color, similar to Miller's work on Ronin and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns saga, (all colored by Lynn Varley, his wife).
