Sin City: A Dame To Kill For Movie To Start Production

It's official. Filmmakers Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, along with producer Alexander Rodnyansky, just announced that they will commence production on sequel to 2005's Sin City. The sequel is called Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, and it will be produced by AR Films and Quick Draw Productions, financed through AR Films U.S and released domestically by Dimension Films. Here are all the details from the press release. "The first question I am always asked is 'When will you make another Sin City? ,'" said Rodriquez.  "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 creator, screenwriter and co-director Frank Miller said, "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." While details on the film's story were not released, it was revealed that casting will begin next week. The cast was not officially announced, but many of the original cast are epected to return. Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is based on Frank Miller's graphic novel of the same name. Production is expected to start this summer at Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas. Rodnyansky said, "We are delighted to continue our relationship with Robert Rodriguez and Quick Draw Productions. It is a rare opportunity to produce and finance a film with the high profile and enormous fan base of the Sin City franchise. AR FIlms will be managing worldwide sales of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, as well as Robert's Machete Kills at the Cannes Film Festival in May." "Audiences have been clamoring for Sin City 2 with Robert and Frank for a long time and trust me, it will be worth the wait," said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company.  "This will be my 11th collaboration with Robert in 16 years and he's become a great friend. I look forward to continuing our long lasting relationship and partnering on more projects in the future."
