Sin City 2

[WyldeMan45]

May 5, 2009 - IGN recently had the opportunity to speak with director Robert Rodriguez, who was promoting the long-awaited release of Sin City on Blu-ray. We couldn't help but ask Rodriguez if the resurgence of the 2005 film, based on Frank Miller's graphic-novel series, is fueling the buzz for the proposed sequel. There's been talk of a follow-up film practically since the first one was released, but according to Rodriguez, it's starting to look like it might actually happen.

"People have been talking about Sin City 2 since the first one came out," Rodriguez said. "Whenever I'm out and about, people say, 'When's Sin City 2 coming? When's Sin City 2 coming?' They've been asking that for years. So this probably will add to that, certainly."

Rodriguez added that he had a few other commitments he had to complete before moving on to Sin City 2, but he is beginning talks with his creative team and could begin filming as early as next year.

"I actually had a phone call with some of the players in it today, but I was on a plane so I missed it," he said. "So next week we're going to talk about it some more and get a timing on when we'd be doing it. But there's a lot of people who are interested in it. ... We are definitely going to do that one.

As for the story in the film, Rodriguez said that it will include the Sin City story "A Dame to Kill For" as well as new additional material written by Miller himself.

"There's a lot of stories," Rodriguez said. "That was sort of the approach I took to it. That's why there's three stories in the [first] movie, because I thought, 'I love this material, but gosh, what happens if it's not successful and I don't get to make a part two and part three. I still want to see "The Big Fat Kill" and "That Yellow Bastard."' So I wanted to put them all in one movie so I could at least get some of these stories out of my system. But there's still so many books and so many stories to do."
