‘SIN CITY 2: A DAME TO KILL FOR’ Is Happening. Casting Begins Next Week, Shooting This Summer

I’m not certain many of us around the OLverse care about a sequel to Sin City  anymore, but we’re finally getting it. Casting for A Dame To Kill For  will kick off next week, with filming going down this summer. Ya heard!

Play List:

Director Robert Rodriguez has been promising a sequel to his beloved 2005 neo-noir “Sin City” for so long that it began to fall into the “we’ll believe it when we see it” category. But the dream is now a reality. Titled, “Sin City: A Dame To Kill For,” Dimension Films, AR Films and Rodriguez’s recently formed Quick Draw Productions announced this evening that production had begun on the sequel and that casting would begin next week.
“The first question I am always asked is “When will you make another Sin City?,” Rodriquez in a statement. “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.”

“Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” was developed by Frank Miller, based on his “Sin City” graphic novels, and features a screenplay by Frank Miller and Academy Award-winner William Monahan (“The Departed”). The film is expected to begin production this summer at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.

This is a slight surprise because Rodriguez had last promised that “Machete 2” starring Danny Trejo would go into production this spring, leaving “Sin City 2” to presumably wait at least another year, but the Austin-based filmmaker is a run-and-gunner, and clearly he changed his mind, presumably because the ‘Dame To Kill For’ script is exactly where it needs to be (though with his speed and resources, Troublemaker Studios’ resources, who’s to say whether “Machete Kills” isn’t also shooting this spring; Ethan Maniquis did co-direct the first one after all).

I’ll see it. I’ll probably like it. I just don’t know if I’ll get amped over it.
