SIN CITY 2 Still Flashing That Elusive Carrot

sin city2

It appears every once in awhile we are going to get a little morsel of information about a SIN CITY 2 film that is just going to drive fan reaction into a frenzy and carry the notion that the film is actually going to happen for another couple of months.  At this stage of the game, we will be lucky to ever see  SIN CITY 2, particularly one that is A) directed by Robert Rodriguez or B) nearly as compelling and fascinating as the first one.  Today comes that little bit of news for the end of 2009, and it comes to us from Comics 2 Film at Mania.com.

They caught up with producer Stephen L’Heureux who confirmed that SIN CITY 2 would be rolling before cameras in the second half of 2010.  As with the first film, Frank Miller will be co-directing with Rodriguez, but, unlike the first film, this one will not be based on one of Miller’s graphic novels.  Instead, it will be a wholly original screenplay written by Miller for the screen.

L’Heureux also had this to say:

There’s also talk, of course, of ‘Sin City 3‘.

Pardon my cynicism, but I will believe it when I see it.

What do you think?  Will SIN CITY 2 actually happen?  What do you think of it being an original screenplay by Miller?  Which characters from the first film would you just be clamoring to see more of?  Let us know by commenting below.

Rights for ‘Sin City 2’ Up in the Air

Despite the fact that the Weinstein Company/Dimension Films stills claims they hold the rights to a ‘Sin City’ sequel, the property is evidently being shopped around Hollywood. Â  Producers from competing studios claim that reps from Frank Miller’s estate are searching Hollywood for someone to pick up the rights to the sequel to Robert Rodriguez’s, 2005 film.

News of a ‘Sin City 2’ was flying ever since the first film opened, but it has appeared the Weinstein’s have been dragging their feet on the project. Â  Angelina Jolie even expressed interest in a role for the film. Â  However, in the four years since ‘Sin City,’ nothing concrete has come in the way of real development towards getting the film completed.

If the rights did, indeed, lapse in the Weinstein’s court, it could be due to the inactivity on the project, or it could just be that the Weinsteins decided not to re-up.

Rumors of the rights being held up at Weinstein were flying around the interenet a few weeks back. Â  However, a lawyer for the company stated those rumors were “hogwash.”

“TWC’s rights to produce sequels to ‘Sin City’ remain intact as they always have been,” he stated at the time. Â  The Weinstein Company stood by this statement when word that Miller’s estate was shopping the rights around town on Wednesday.

What do you think? Â  Do you believe the Weinsteins let the rights expire? Â  Where would you like to see ‘Sin City 2’ end up? Â  Do you think Robert Rodriguez, who has had a pretty long-standing relationship with Dimension, will go with the film if it is, in fact, produced by a different company? Â  Let us know by commenting below!

Mickey Rourke may not return for ‘Sin City 2’

Despite everyone’s assumption that Rourke would return to reprise his role as Marv in the sequel to ‘Sin City’, this possibility apparently isn’t so set in stone. During an interview with Mickey Rourke on MTV’s Splash Page, Rourke seemed a s though we was on board, but during a press junket for Darren Aronofsky’s ‘The Wrestler’ he made references to a new lack of interest in that particular project.

The actor who has recently hit “potential” gold with his comeback performance as retired professional wrestler Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson told ComingSoon.net/Superhero Hype! the following:

“No, I’m not interested in that right now. That’s not a reality right now. It’s pissing in the wind,” Rourke admitted. “There’s different factions going different directions there. I don’t know. That’s three hours of make up and I’m claustrophobic, so I’m going to have to work something out.”

It’s unclear whether he’s truly lost interest or if maybe he’s hoping for some more “serious” roles with the surprise success of ‘The Wrestler’. What do you think? Should he return to ‘Sin City 2’ or is he bound for bigger, better things?
