Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

Well let's start tracking this. I loved Sin City and hope the
sequel performs well. Production just starting. A teaser trailer
already...
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For will focus on a mysterious woman
named Ava and will continue the story introduced in the first
installment. A few months ago, director Robert Rodriguez
confirmed that stars from the first film Mickey Rourke, Rosario
Dawson and Michael Madsen are slated to reprise their roles.
Frank Miller, who wrote the popular graphic novel the films are
based on, will also be taking on directorial duties for the
follow up. Production on the film will begin once Rodriguez
wraps his current project Machete Kills starring Danny Trejo.

I love the comic book that the movie will be based on and it's
really the last great thing Frank Miller wrote. Since then, it's
been pretty much garbage. I still don't think he is all that
when it comes to being a Director. Just leave it to Robert
Rodriguez. Too many cooks in the kitchen can dilute an otherwise
good meal. Any news of Tarantino is going to direct a segment?

Mel Gibson? I dunno about that. He's got a lot of baggage. He'd
fit in nicely as a f u c k e d up character.

[quote]Sure he died in the first Sin City (via electric chair),
but that won’t stop Robert Rodriguez from resurrecting ol’ Marv.
Website DL reports that Mickey Rourke is now in negotiations to
make a return trip to Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, the Robert
Rodriguez/Frank Miller sequel. He’ll reprise his role of Marv,
the hulking tough guy with a soft spot for women.
In theaters October 4, 2013, “The film is about Dwight McCarthy
planing to have his vengeance against the woman who betrayed
him, Ava Lord, while Nancy is trying to cope with Hartigan’s
death.”
Michael Clarke Duncan, Angelina Jolie, Rosario Dawson, Michael
Madsen and Jessica Alba are all said to be returning.[/quote]

I was pretty certain that Mickey was already locked up for the
sequel a long time ago, along with the rest of the cast.

Jaime King and Jamie Chung have boarded Sin City 2, which began
shooting on Monday in Austin.
Robert Rodriguez is directing the movie with Frank Miller, the
comic book icon who created the Sin City comics that were
published by Dark Horse in the 1990s. Rodriguez and Miller
teamed up for the stylish 2005 hit adaptation.
Rodriguez and Miller wrote the script for the new movie, which
is a combination of comics storylines and a new one written
specifically by Miller for the movie. One of the storylines
being adapted is A Dame to Kill For, originally published in
1993 and featuring a man named Dwight entangled in a complicated
and deadly relationship with a femme fatale named Ava.
Many of the original castmembers are returning for the sequel,
including Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson.
(Rourke’s character Marv was killed by electrocution in the
first movie but the Dame’s story takes place before and after
that film’s events.)
King played the golden-haired prostitute Goldie in the first
movie and returns to play her twin sister, Wendy.
Chung is stepping into the heels worn in the first movie by
Devon Aoki, the katana-wielding, roller-skating assassin Miho.
The character plays a key role in helping Dwight locate the
double-dealing Ava.
Rodriguez barely wrapped Machete Kills before jumping into Sin
City 2 and is shooting on his soundstages in his native Austin.
But while the movie may be underway, casting for major parts is
still underway. Ava’s part, originally written for Angelina
Jolie, is still unfilled.
And the part of Dwight remains a question mark. The character
was played by Clive Owen in the first movie and sources say Owen
is understood to be returning. But the character undergoes
facial surgery and appears as a new man, thus the need for a new
top-flight actor to play the reconstructed character.
Also still uncast is a newly created character named Johnny, a
smooth gambler.
King currently stars as the conniving and social-status seeking
Lemon Breeland in CW’s Hart of Dixie. She has the horror movie
Silent Night, with Malcolm McDowell and Donal Logue, in the can.
She is repped by Gersh and Myman Greenspan.
Chung played Ed Helms’ fiancée in The Hangover Part II and
returns for Part III. She appears in RZA’s The Man with the Iron
Fists, which opens Friday, and recently did a stint as Mulan in
ABC’s One Upon a Time. She is repped by Gersh, 3 Arts
Entertainment and Morris Yorn.

I was actually surprised that Jamie Chung wasn't in the first
one since she seems to be in everything now days.

Is there a reason that Devon Aoki isn't in this one?
I am curious about what they're shooting it on, the first one
had a video-y look that was a little more apparent when they
were against greenscreen (and the CGI was rather soft), it's
been a few years, I don't know if RR rocks RED yet but I imagine
between that and the more "solid" looking CGI we get these days
we'll have a more realistic feeling movie (although if they
actually went OUTSIDE to some kind of city to shoot a couple
angles, that would be good too...)

I was kinda hopeful the entire movie would be shot on Betamax.
As for Devon Aoki, I just assumed she was in this one.

Just popped in my Sin City DVD for the first time in ages. I
still have a big issue with the CGI in the movie, you know that
they're not really in the locations... especially when they're
on the treadmills. And everything in that world is sort of soft
and cartoonish... none of the places really feel REAL, you know?
I really hope that in the time span between the last flick, RR
had the sequel in the back of his head and so was just taking
reference and plate shots every chance he got. I know I would
have been. Maybe even go more noir style, shoot back projection
style shots for when they're driving.
And I'm also really hoping that they bring people in... I like
that RR does so much himself, but his films are missing
something because of that. Anyone would be eager to work on the
next Sin City so you know he could bring in some brilliant
talent for some stuff like Fincher-style opening titles.
And since current digital cameras get you sharper pictures and
pick up more light, you could get a little more experimental and
extreme in the shots. Get more of that stylized lighting in
camera on the day rather than play around with it later, you
could tell when they did that.
That and the elements, remember the rain at the start making
those fakey puddles? That's gotta change.
As much as we liked the first one, it should be a
proof-of-concept for what the second one should be.
