14 DAY TRIAL // The wait is finally over: the long overdue sequel to the 2005 “Sin City” has been officially confirmed. “Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” will see Miller work again with Robert Rodriguez on what they promise will be an unprecedented, “ferocious” film experience.
As fans of the original movie, which took filmmaking into a different dimension with its prevailing comic book feel, must know, a sequel has been subject to debate and high hopes for years.
Until now, the latter never came to fruition.
Confirmation for “A Dame to Kill For” comes straight from the writers / directors, in a statement to Slash Film.
Not only will it see Miller and Rodriguez in the same boat again, but it will also mark the return of some of the characters that appeared in the first film, while also taking that experience and making it bigger, better and overall more awesome.
Casting begins next week, with production scheduled to kick off shortly after that.
A release date has not been announced yet (not even an estimated one), but the terrible duo promise that the sequel would have been worth the long wait.
“The first question I am always asked is 'When will you make another Sin City?'” Rodriguez says. He's not lying, that much is certain.
“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,” he promises.
Miller pushes this even further, saying the experience will be nothing short of “ferocious.”
“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,” Miller says.
Knowing Rodriguez, that probably means “A Dame to Kill For” will be shot and distributed in 3D.
