SDCC '11: Sin City Sequel Moving Forward; New Details Revealed!
During the panel at San Diego Comic Con, director Robert Rodriguez has revealed some new details regarding the long-awaited sequel to Sin City. Check it out!
It seems that this is the year when Sin City 2 might actually happen. During the panel at SDCC, Robert Rodriguez shared some new info on the process and working with Frank Miller.
From Cinema Blend:
"If it's going to happen, it's going to happen this year," Rodriguez just told the assembled Comic Con crowd of Sin City 2, which he says is still in the script process but promises he and Miller are as close to making it as they've ever been. He's basing it on three separate stories by Frank Miller, who co-directed the first movie and whose graphic novel inspired the original. One of the stories is called "A Dame to Kill For," another is called "The Long Bad Night," and the third is being kept under wraps for now.

Robert Rodriguez Says Sin City 2 Financing Is Complete But the Script is Not
While promoting his new Spy Kids movie, the director gives an update on the status of Sin City 2 and Machete 2.
RR: Sin City 2 is going good, we’re just finishing the script for that, we already got the money. We have everything we need so we can just start shooting as soon as we get the pages. And it’s the same thing for Machete 2. We’ve already got the budget, just waiting for the script. As soon as we’re finished writing we get to start the shoot.
Earlier this month Robert informed the audience at Comic-Con that the sequel could start filming as early as the end of this year. This latest statement from Robert validates that exciting possibility. He also said that Sin City 2 would feature three stories from Frank Miller. He announced two of the stories, "A Dame to Kill For," the other is called "The Long Bad Night," which is an original story. The third story remains a secret for now, but it also will be an original story.
I'm glad we'll have a few original stories from the great Frank Miller, but lets focus on "A Dame to Kill For." If you are a fan of the Sin City graphic novels then you'll be familiar with this tale. It was the second story in the Sin City series. Might I add one of Miller's best pieces. If you aren't familiar with the comic series, but you like the movie then your in for a treat. The story has many of the characters from the first film. The Clive Owen character of Dwight is the main protagonist, but you'll also see: Marv (Mickey Rourke), Gail (Rosario Dawson), Manute (Michael Clarke Duncan) and Miho (Devon Aoki).
Plot - "A Dame to Kill For" follows Dwight who was played by Clive Owen in the movie. He is a lonely guy trying to make it from day to day without losing it. He has a history of snap violent behaviour as most people are in Sin City.
Dwight is trying to make the best out of his cards till an old love interest walks in. Eva, A man eating calculating woman who married into wealth and still wants more.
Eva talks to Dwight and asks for help telling him of the horrors she has lived with while living with her husband and Manute who was played by Michael Clarke Duncan in the movie. - superrobotmayhem.com
I wonder if Clive Owen and Michael Clarke Duncan will reprise their roles for the sequel. I hope so!

Michael Clarke Duncan Wants to Play Thundercats' Panthro & Return for Sin City 2
The actor feels like he'd be a perfect fit for the role of Panthro, and is hoping Robert Rodriguez gives him a call for Sin City 2.
Excerpt from Rotten Tomatoes Interview
Speaking of Daredevil and Sin City, I read that you were a big comic book fan growing up.
Is there a superhero you'd want to play if you had the chance?
Oh yeah. I'd want to play Panthro from ThunderCats. I like Panthro. I always have. He was cool, he did the nunchucks. I think I'd have to work on my nunchuck skills; when I was younger, I hit myself on the head with some nunchucks. But Panthro from ThunderCats. I know they're going to do a ThunderCats movie, and they're apparently working on a show right now. I think Panthro would really suit me. I think I could really embellish that role.
Do you have any idea what's going on with Sin City 2?
I haven't heard anything, but I think they finally get the funding together, and hopefully Robert Rodriguez will give me a call. Right now I am working on a contract with FOX to do 13 episodes of The Finder, which will be coming out January 5th, right after American Idol on FOX. But after that, I probably will, unless they order another nine episodes - you know, 22, fingers crossed - I'll be ready for whatever. I'm ready to act, I'm ready to work. I love working, and I'm sure if they call me, we can work around my schedule or something can happen. But I would love to be in Sin City 2.
In Sin City Michael played the role of Manute, a big hulking figure with a red glass eye. His character was part of the mercs, a rival to the prostitute gang. Fun fact, Manute lost that eye in the comics to Marv, the big ugly bugger that was played by Mickey Rourke in the film. Might we see that scene in the second Sin City? Possibly since the new movie will feature at least one story that took place before the timeline of the first film.
As for Panthro? Eh, Michael is looking a tad too old, and tad to big, and I don't mean muscular to be playing a superhero like Panthro. By the way, I wrote in CBM Hotties article today about Zoe Saldana proclaiming her desire to be Cheetarah if there was a live action Thundercats. Quite the coincidence to have to big stars pitching for a movie most people aren't expecting to be made any time soon.
And why isn't anyone begging for a Gobots movie?

Jaime King Says She Will Be Back for SIN CITY 2
The actress that played the twin sisters Goldey and Wendy in Sin City, talks about the sequel, and her promotional scenes she filmed for the new Star Wars Blu-ray release.
Excerpt from i am ROGUE Interview
SIN CITY 2
"I hear so many things, between the cast and Robert, and Frank, because Frank's like my brother," she said. "They hired a new writer, an Oscar-winning writer, to work on the draft." Though she didn't mention him by name, Monahan's hiring became public last Monday.
For clarification, King also confirmed that she will have a role in the sequel, saying, "That's what I've been told, yes."
"I don't know for sure, now, because they're having a new writer come on," she said of Sin City 2's stories. "But my understanding, it was kind of a melange of the original work of what Frank has done, but everything always comes from Frank, you know what I mean? So even if someone else is writing the physical script, it will always be Frank Miller's ideas."
"You know, one minute, Robert would be like, 'Okay, we're shooting in two months.' And I'm like, 'Okay, I'll be ready.' And then it goes for two years and two years and two years. It's interesting, now, to see how it's going to play," she said. "I feel like what we did then was so revolutionary, so we're really going to have to really step it up."
STAR WARS
"I just did this thing for Star Wars," King enthused. "It was myself and Seth Rogen and Emma Stone for George Lucas where they had us do scenes from Star Wars and they put it in the actual Star Wars scenes to help promote the Blu-ray that's coming out." Of the experience, she said, "I only wanted to play boys. I'm like, 'I want to play Obi-Wan, I want to play Yoda, I want to play Luke, I want to play Uncle Owen.' I played Darth Sidious. That was awesome."
Star Wars: The Complete Saga will be released on Blu-ray September 16th.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jaime was terrific as the naked murdered Goldey, and was okay as the revenge-filled twin sister, Wendy. When she wasn't talking and displayed her chiseled beauty, I was in awe. When she started yapping I lost interest. Although she does deserve credit for kissing Mickey Rourke's character Marv, who had a face that even Frankenstein's monster would call hideous.
Jaime King lately has been lending her vocal chords to the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. On that show she plays the Jedi that has become a bounty hunter, named Aurra Sing. Which probably had a lot to do with her being asked to help promote the blu-ray release for George Lucas next childhood killing piece of crap for Star Wars. I will admit that I would like to see these clips just for the delightful Emma Stone and sometimes funny Seth Rogen.

Why You Probably Won't See Clive Owen in Robert Rodriguez's Sin City 2
You might not SEE him in the movie, but I wouldn't rule out his involvement. Click the jump to see what is probably in store for Clive Owen's character Dwight.
Before I go into my reasoning make sure you read this most recent interview that the actor had in which he discusses Sin City 2.
The following is an excerpt from an interview Clive had with comingsoon.net
CS: The first time I met you was at the press conference for "Derailed," which was six years ago now, and after that press conference, I asked you about doing "Sin City 2."
Owen: Still?
CS: Now it seems like Robert's back on board and they've got a new screenwriter working on it.
Owen: It seems like it, yeah, yeah.
CS: Do you think at this point you'd still do the movie and still do the role even though it's six years later?
Owen: I don't know; I don't know quite what the plans are now. Like you say, I think every year since we made the original one I'm asked about, "Are they going to do another one?" But I mean, listen, just even the fact that I was in it just as a guy who watches movies, I was a huge fan of the first one. I thought it was pretty groundbreaking, that movie.
CS: I loved the second graphic novel that Frank Miller wrote, it was a great story, but there's an issue about Dwight's appearance since he gets a face lift, which makes one wonder.
Owen: Yeah, that's right, that's right. That's true, yes.
CS: I wondered how they were going to do it and that you might have some insight.
Owen: No, not at all.
Plot - "A Dame to Kill For" follows Dwight who was played by Clive Owen in the movie. He is a lonely guy trying to make it from day to day without losing it. He has a history of snap violent behaviour as most people are in Sin City.
Dwight is trying to make the best out of his cards till an old love interest walks in. Eva, A man eating calculating woman who married into wealth and still wants more.
Eva talks to Dwight and asks for help telling him of the horrors she has lived with while living with her husband and Manute who was played by Michael Clarke Duncan in the movie. - superrobotmayhem.com
"A Dame to Kill For" is the center of my argument that Clive may not be back in the sequel, which will actually be a prequel in my opinion. The "Dame" story in the graphic novel came before the story of Dwight that was featured in the first movie.
What you may not know is that Dwight's face gets shot to hell in the "Dame" story line and he turns to the hookers for help. The character that was played by Rosario Dawson (Gail) comes to his aid in the "Dame" story and helps him get plastic surgery. The surgery is successful but his face is completely different.
Also a major part of the "Dame" story is that Dwight turns to Marv for help. Marv, who was played by Mickey Rourke in the movie, has a brutal scene with Manute (Michael Clarke Duncan)where he takes his eye. As you saw in the first movie, Manute had some sort of red stone in his empty eye socket. I bring this up just to further my case that they have to portray this tale from the beginning, which means that don't need Clive Owen.
You can replace him with an actor that is off the same body structure, but face wise, he could look like anyone. But there is a snag. Clive has a very distinct voice, and it would seem out of place to have anyone else talking with that fake American accent. Clive who at times can be as hard to understand as Christian Bale growling his Batman dialogue. To dub or not to dub will be the question.
Then you also have the problem of having the scenes after he is shot in the face. A face that should resemble Clive's once the surgery is complete. Now, would Clive pop on for voice work, and a cameo? Not sure.
-
All the grindhouse era Tarantino movies are an epic fail for me, I havnt been bothered with Machete yet, loved Sin CIty, will be interested to see how they bring back Marv

Frank Miller Says Sin City 2 Will Have A New Story About Jessica Alba's Nancy Callahan
He says he created the new story focusing on Nancy Callahan in order to tie things together with the first Sin City movie. He also said he is just finishing up the script and expects filming to start in the spring.
Frank Miller says that the movie will include four stories "A Dame to Kill For," "Just Another Saturday," and two new stories. As I said before one of the new stories will focus on Jessica Alba's character Nancy Callahan's character in the first one. And the good news is that Jessica Alba said a few months ago that she would be happy to reprise the role. As for the other story, it is still a mystery. Check out the video below to get a spoiler of what "Just Another Saturday" is about.

Mickey Rourke Officially Enters Talks For SIN CITY 2; Michael Madsen Unsure Of Return
"Well that’s kind of a mystery because there's a whole bunch of stuff all over the internet that I’m doing a sequel and I certainly didn’t put that stuff on there, so I don’t know who did," Michael Madsen - who played a detective in the 2005 film - told MTV News in a recent interview. "But, wherever that came from, whoever generated that information, must be thinking that I’m doing that — but I can’t seem to get an answer out of anybody." He goes on to say that he's failed to get a straight answer from either director Robert Rodriquez or the producer of Sin City, Harvey Weinstein (who apparently will NOT produce A Dame To Kill For.)
However, despite his confusion about whether or not he will be brought back in the long-talked about sequel, the actor who originally auditioned for the role of 'Marv' revealed that he's definitely interested if they ask him. "Well, sure. I thought the first one was pretty good. I mean, I kind of got in that first one by default. And Bob survives, so you’d figure that he’s gonna make it, right? You’d figure that I’d show up in part two. So if you could get an answer for me, I’d really appreciate it, cause I can’t find out. Of course, I’d like to be a part of it." Talking of 'Marv', Deadline reports that Mickey Rourke has now officially in negotiations to return as the character in the Frank Miller adaptation.

Did Jessica Alba Request A Body Double For SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR?
Jessica Alba captivated audiences with her scintillating costumes and her sultry gyrations for the role of Nancy Callahan in Robert Rodriguez's 2005 hit, Sin City. It's been seven long years since she played the stripper with a heart of gold, and during that time the 31 year-old has become a mother of two.
A source has revealed to Life and Style magazine that Jessica doesn't feel confident enough with her body this time around and would like a body double for the more risque scenes:
“She was crushed when filming began and she didn’t have her original body back so she told producers she wanted a body double. Her body is incredible, but it’s not good enough. She’s cut out cards and does the P90X Ab Ripper twice a day, but she still isn’t happy.”
"She has been chain smoking lately to keep her appetite at bay. Jessica struggled with an eating disorder in her teens and when she is under pressure to look good for a part, she can slip back into extreme behavior."

The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Jaime King and Jamie Chung have joined the cast of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. The sequel from Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller began shooting on Monday in Austin. They join returning cast members Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson. King actually played the golden-haired prostitute Goldie in the first movie and returns in this film to play her twin sister, Wendy. Chung meanwhile is set to replace Devon Aoki from the first movie as the katana-wielding, roller-skating assassin Miho.

Jamie Chung Discusses Working With Robert Rodriguez On SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR
When Supermodel/actress, Devon Aoki, had to drop out from Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, Jamie Chung was there to pounce on the opportunity to be the next deadly little Miho. 2005's Sin City was filled with plenty of violence, especially the scenes involving Miho, the mute female assassin.
Chung, is best known to moviegoers for playing Amber in Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch, and Stew's (Ed Helms) wife in The Hangover 2. You can currently see her on ABC's Once Upon A Time, as Mulan, the warrior princess.
ETonline: You've also stepped in for a pregnant Devon Aoki to play Miho in Sin City 2. With its stunt work and greenscreen filming, I kind of feel like all your other roles have kind of prepared you for this part.
Chung: That's so true. And Robert [Rodriguez, director] is really taking it to the next level. In terms of technology, there's so much more for him to play with. Robert is such a creative man. His work process is so fascinating to me. There's not much time to prep. You get up there and he says do it and you just do it. It's by the far the most physical role I've ever done. I'm in action hero heaven!
ETonline: In general, are you someone who meticulously plans their career or just operates on a role-to-role basis?
Chung: I don't plan too far ahead, it really is one script to the next. I'm such a scrapper, I'll take whatever comes my way. That's why I get a lot of leftovers. But when those leftovers are Sin City 2, I won't complain. The goal is to constantly create and keep moving – if you have movement going forward and hopefully the work will be there to match your desires.

Dennis Haysbert Replaces Michael Clarke Duncan In SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR
According to the Hollywood Reporter we are in good hands when it comes to the actor that is replacing Michael Clarke Duncan in Sin City 2. That would be Allstate Insurance spokesman, Dennis Haysbert, or as many would remember, President David Palmer, on the Fox television series 24. As for me I still like to think of him as Pedro "[frick] you Jobu" Cerrano in 1989's baseball comedy, Major League.
Haysbert steps into the role of Manute, who in Frank Miller's comic, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, which the movie is titled after, is a pivotal character. He is a henchman that works for Ava Lord and her husband. He usually is portrayed wearing a valet uniforma, being of great size, yet is unusually polite as commits terrible, unspeakable acts upon his victims.
Rodriguez and Miller have provided the Hollywood Reporter with an official statement:
"Manute is a character that has been part of the heart of the Sin City tales and the late Michael Clarke Duncan beautifully established that role on screen. We could not tell the story of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For without Manute and are thrilled to welcome Dennis Haysbert to the cast."

Dennis Haysbert Discusses His Role As 'Manute' In SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR
"I haven't finished working out to the capacity that I need to, but he's going to be different," Dennis Haysbert told SuperheroHype when asked about about shaving his head and bulking up for the role of 'Manute' in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. "This is playing as a prequel, so it should work out." The actor, who is perhaps best known for playing 'President David Palmer' in 24, is of course taking over from the late Michael Clark Duncan. As for exactly how much of an impact that will have on his performance, Haysbert said: "It's going to be my character but I've spoken extensively with Frank Miller and Robert (Rodriguez) about what they want with the character and yes, it has to have some feel of what Michael did but I have to make it my own." Written and directed by Rodriguez and Miller, the actor also had this to say about what it has so far been like to work with the duo. "Robert sets up the camera and he does a lot of the hands-on directing but Frank is very astute and very good at watching from a distance and just coming in and popping in a few things in your ear that really solidifies it. Because he comes from that comic book approach and everything is storyboarded so you have a clear idea as to what you want to do and what he wants. It's a very cool process." Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is currently scheduled to be released on October 4, 2013.

UPDATE: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Joins SIN CITY 2; Won't Star In GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
New York, NY January 7, 2013 – Dimension Films announced today that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (LOOPER, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES) is joining the all-star cast as one of the lead characters in the highly anticipated SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR. The film is the follow up to co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s 2005 visually groundbreaking film, FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY. Other major casting announcements will continue to follow.
Gordon-Levitt will play “Johnny,” a cocky gambler who disguises a darker mission to destroy his most foul enemy at his best game.
"Johnny is a new character in the Sin City world and we are excited for what Joseph will bring to the role," said Rodriguez and Miller.
Gordon-Levitt most recently wrote, directed and stars in DON JON’S ADDICTION which will premiere this month at Sundance and also stars Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore.
SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR weaves together two of Miller’s classic stories with new tales in which the town’s most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more repulsive inhabitants.
The ensemble includes already announced original cast members Academy Award® nominee Mickey Rourke as “Marv,” Jessica Alba as “Nancy,” Rosario Dawson as “Gail,” and Jaime King as “Goldie/Wendy” with new cast members Dennis Haysbert as “Manute,” and Jamie Chung as “Miho”. Production is underway at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.
The original SIN CITY broke new ground with its iconic stylish look. SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR will not only bring fans back to the world that Miller and Rodriguez created, but also add a new dimension by bringing their unique visual style to life in 3D.
SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR was developed by Frank Miller based upon his graphic novel, with a screenplay by Miller and Academy Award® winner William Monahan (The Departed). The film will be released by Dimension Films in the US and Canada on October 4, 2013 and is produced by Robert Rodriguez’s Quick Draw Productions, Aldamisa, AR Films, Miramax and Solipsist.

Chris Meloni Joins SIN CITY 2
Fresh off Man of Steel, Meloni has signed on to Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. Deadline reports that Meloni will be portraying 'surprise' a cop but he's not a supporting player, he will be one of the leads.
And from Gordon-Levitt, we have this statement from the actor about joining the Sin City 2 ensemble. “I love how the first movie uses VFX, not to make fake things look real, but to create a heightened world unburdened by the look and feel of reality. Plus, nobody makes a badass like Mr. Rodriguez.”
The film will be released by Dimension Films in the US and Canada on October 4, 2013 and is produced by Robert Rodriguez’s Quick Draw Productions, Aldamisa, AR Films, Miramax and Solipsist.

Press Release: Josh Brolin To Play 'Dwight' In SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR
After reportedly being looked at for a role in the anticipated Sin City sequel, Josh Brolin (Jonah Hex, Men In Black 3) has officially been cast as 'Dwight', who was played by Clive Owen in the first movie.
Today Dimension Films announced another big name that has been added to the SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR cast roster, further ramping up the ensemble – Academy Award® nominee Josh Brolin (GANGSTER SQUAD, MILK). Brolin will star as “Dwight” in the follow up to FRANK MlLLER’S SIN CITY for co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. The part of the “Dame” has yet to be cast.
Dwight is one of the favorite characters from Miller’s books and the 2005 film. In SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR, Dwight is hunted down by the only woman he ever loved, Ava Lord, and then watches his life go straight to hell. Chronologically, this story takes place prior to “The Big Fat Kill” (featured in the film FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY) and explains how Dwight came to have a dramatically different face.
"Dwight is a constant character throughout the Sin City world and “A Dame To Kill For” is a defining episode in his life. We’re looking forward to Josh’s take on Dwight," said Rodriguez and Miller.
Brolin will next be seen alongside Sean Penn in the Warner Bros. 1940’s police drama Gangster Squad set for release January 11, 2013. Brolin recently completed production on the Jason Reitman-directed film Labor Day opposite Kate Winslet, in addition to Spike Lee’s Oldboy, a remake of the popular Korean film. Brolin last appeared as young “Agent K” in Men in Black 3, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and co-starring Will Smith and Emma Thompson. In 2008, Brolin was nominated for an Academy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award and received awards from the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Board of Review for his portrayal of ‘Dan White’ in Gus Van Sant’s acclaimed film Milk. Prior to that, Brolin earned a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of an ensemble for his work in Joel and Ethan Coen’s No Country for Old Men, which also won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR weaves together two of Miller’s classic stories with new tales in which the town’s most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more repulsive inhabitants.
The star studded ensemble includes already announced original cast members Academy Award® nominee Mickey Rourke as “Marv,” Jessica Alba as “Nancy,” Rosario Dawson as “Gail” and Jaime King as “Goldie/Wendy” with new cast members Joseph Gordon-Levitt as “Johnny,” Dennis Haysbert as “Manute” and Jamie Chung as “Miho.” Production is underway at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.

Jamie King Talks SIN CITY 2
Looks as if Jamie King might not have a huge part in Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. Talking to MTV, King revealed that she's already shot her part in Robert Rodriguez's sequel. She'll be digitally inserted into scenes with the other actors.
When asked if she was returning for Sin City, King stated, "Yes, I am, I already did my part. I was the first one to shoot on the very first day." Because Sin City uses landscapes for 100% of its backdrops, King exclaimed that she was acting with 'pieces of tape.'
"You just roll with it with Robert Rodriguez because you can trust him," she said. "Literally I worked with not one single actor. I worked with literally tape. A roll of tape, and a hand."
She also reveals the no-brainer that she'll be playing both Goldie and her twin sister this time around. With a cast that includes King, Bruce Willis, Christopher Meloni, Rosario Dawson, Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jamie Chung, Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Dennis Haysbert and more, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For opens October 4, 2013.

Robert Rodriguez's MACHETE KILLS Gets A Release Date
It has just been confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter's Borys Kit that Robert Rodriquez's Machete Kills will be released on September 13th, later this year. Principal photography took only 29 days to complete and shooting wrapped last July. There were previously rumblings that the sequel to 2010's Machete would be released in July, but this is obviously no longer the case. An image released of a very grown up Alexa Vega (Spy Kids) and the casting of Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen and Lady Gaga have resulted in the film receiving a lot of attention in the press.
Danny Trejo returns as ex-Federale agent MACHETE, who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man – he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.
STARRING:
Danny Trejo as Machete Cortez
Michelle Rodriguez as Luz
Mel Gibson as Luther Voz
Jessica Alba as Sartana Rivera
Charlie Sheen as the President of the United States
Sofía Vergara as Madame Desdemona
Amber Heard as Miss San Antonio
Antonio Banderas as Gregorio Cortez

Ray Liotta, Juno Temple & Jeremy Piven Join SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR
The ever growing cast of Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is shaping up to be something pretty special. In addition to Joseph Gordon Levitt and Josh Brolin, The Playlist now cite sources close to the production as confirming that Ray Liotta (Killing Them Softly, The Iceman), Juno Temple (The Dark Knight Rises, Killer Joe) and Jeremy Piven (Entourage) have also signed up. They say their roles are being kept secret for now, but would any fans of Frank Miller's Sin City comics care to venture a guess? I reckon given Liotta's penchant for playing bad guys that he might be Damian Lord, wife of the "dame to kill for" herself, Ava - who is yet to be cast. I can't imagine that will be Juno Temple though, and I have no clue who Piven might be (it's been a while since I read it!). Anyway, in addition to Brolin and Levitt they join the returning Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Jaime King and newcomers Dennis Haysbert and Jamie Chung. The movie is set to open October 4th.

Jessica Alba Teases Her Role In Robert Rodriguez's SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR
Vulture managed to catch up with Jessica Alba at Sundance to ask her what fans should expect when she returns as exotic dancer 'Nancy' in this September's Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. While she didn't divulge any plot details, she did offer up some very good news; we can expect to see plenty more in the way of those dancing scenes from the first movie. "I had to learn a bunch of dance sequences for it," she said. "I do a lot more dancing in this one. It was kind of crazy. It was very, very difficult, and you’ll see why." Pretty intriguing, eh? You can check out one of Alba's most memorable scenes from Sin City below. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is currently scheduled to be released on October 4, 2013

Julia Garner Joins The Cast Of SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR
As we await the announcement of who Robert Rodriguez has chosen to play Ava Lord in his Sin City follow up, the casting news for the minor roles keep on coming. The latest comes from Deadline, who report that Perks Of Being A Wallflower/Martha Macy May Marlene actress Julia Garner has joined the impressive cast of the adaptation of Frank Miller's classic comic series. The name of her character isn't given, but apparently she "will play a young stripper opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Johnny". Since pretty much every female character in Sin City is either a stripper or a prostitute, this doesn't really harrow it down. But - just like Juno Temple - it is possible she'll be Shelly, who was played by the late Brittany Murphy in the first film. Garner can be seen next in The Last Exorcism sequel.

Eva Green Cast As The Dame In SIN CITY Sequel
Eva Green (Casino Royale) has joined the cast as the Dame (Ava Lord) in Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. After much speculation and a much earlier (years earlier) rumor that the role would go to Angelina Jolie, Eva Green has been selected for the titular role. Filming is already underway in Texas in Rodriguez's personal film studio and some of the cast have even filmed all their scenes. Because the entire film is shot on a green screen, Rodriguez will shoot the film piecemeal, as the actors and actresses schedule allows and then stitch everything together in post. More than a few of the cast have revealed that they've shot scenes opposite a tennis ball.
Frank Miller is serving as co-director, in keeping with the previous film. Green is also part of another Miller project, the 300 prequel/sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire.
In a press release, Rodrigeuz and Miller stated, “Ava Lord is one of the most deadly and fascinating residents of Sin City. From the start, we knew that the actor would need to be able to embody the multifaceted characteristics of this femme fatale and we found that in Eva Green."
In all probability, this rounds out a star studded cast that includes Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Josh Brolin, Christopher Meloni, Jamie Chung, Jeremy Piven, Ray Liotta, Roasrio Dawson, Juno Temple, and Julia Garner.

Lindsay Lohan Is NOT In MACHETE KILLS
MTV News Josh Horowitz sat down with director Robert Rodriguez to discuss his new Machete film. During the chat Josh asked if Lindsay Lohan would be back to reprise her role as April Booth, as has been assumed by most media outlets for the past year.
"No, she's not in it. We thought to bring her back because we like that character, but it didn't fit into the story."

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Talks SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR
Most of the actors involved with Robert Rodriguez's Sin City sequel will be able to go read the source material to draw inspiration for their characters from, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt won't have that luxury! He's playing a brand new character in a brand new story called "The Long Dark Night". In an interview with SHH, the young actor addresses this, while also revealing which other cast members we can expect to see him share scenes with.
"It's interesting. They wanted to have a movie where fans of the books would still be able to look forward to something new and unexpected, so they added a story. I remember being really intrigued by that and I was really looking forward to, ‘Oh that will be so interesting to have the actual comics to refer to as an actor' but no I didn't. I saw Bruce and Mickey (Rourke) and I have a scene together, and Jessica (Alba). I was so stoked."
We know that most of his screentime will be shared with a young stripper played by Julia Garner however. Gordon-Levitt has finished shooting his scenes for Sin City: A Dame To Kill For which hits theaters October 3rd.
