Sin City 2

With the recent build-up of projects that Robert Rodriguez has on his plate ("Predators," "Machete"), coupled with past comments of it not happening anytime soon, it seemed like the possibility of a "Sin City 2" was so far away that it wasn’t worth thinking about. And yet, in a recent interview with IGN, Rodriguez revealed quite the opposite: He’s already talking to some key players about the sequel.

While promoting the Blu-ray release of Sin City, Rodriguez gave an update on the progress of the long awaited sequel:

“People have been talking about Sin City 2 since the first one came out… Whenever I’m out and about, people say, ‘When’s Sin City 2 coming? When’s Sin City 2 coming?’ They’ve been asking that for years. So this probably will add to that, certainly.”

“I actually had a phone call with some of the players in it today, but I was on a plane so I missed it… So next week we’re going to talk about it some more and get a timing on when we’d be doing it. But there’s a lot of people who are interested in it… We are definitely going to do that one.”

As far as which of the original graphic novel stories the sequel would include, Rodriguez said A Dame to Kill For, as well as some other original stories that Frank Miller has come up with:

“There’s a lot of stories,” Rodriguez said. “That was sort of the approach I took to it. That’s why there’s three stories in the [first] movie, because I thought, ‘I love this material, but gosh, what happens if it’s not successful and I don’t get to make a part two and part three. I still want to see “The Big Fat Kill” and “That Yellow Bastard.”‘ So I wanted to put them all in one movie so I could at least get some of these stories out of my system. But there’s still so many books and so many stories to do.”

If the first “Sin City” film is any indication, fans can likely expect a script that spans several of the series’ storylines. Rodriguez admitted he made an effort to pack as many stories as he could into the first film in case it didn’t perform well enough at the box office to warrant follow-ups. Now that “Sin City 2″ is reportedly attracting the likes of Angelina Jolie and driving Miller himself back to writing Basin City, it doesn’t look like fans need to worry about being rewarded for their years of patience.
