Sin City 2
In October 2009, producer Stephen L'Heureux of Solipsist Films said Sin City 2 would go into production sometime in the second half of 2010.
Sin City 2 is a proposed prequel to Sin City. Miller said in early 2007 it would be based on A Dame to Kill For.
Production on the film has been delayed, mostly due to Rodriguez’s involvement with a scheduled remake of Barbarella.
Rosario Dawson, who played Gail in Sin City, said in March 2006 that Rodriguez “has been interested in Angelina Jolie for the lead”. A subsequent article that month said that Jolie, Salma Hayek, and Rose McGowan have “been tipped to play” the role.
Miller in November 2007 said without explaining that delays in producing Sin City 2 would lead to a Sin City 3 as well, with Rodriguez saying the third film would adapt Miller’s Hell and Back story featuring the character Wallace. Rumours indicate that Johnny Depp will play the lead.
Miller has confirmed that he and Rodriguez have completed a script. On September 19, 2008, Miller stated that he and Rodriguez are very close to beginning production. In a December 4, 2008 interview, Miller stated that, pending details of production, he and Rodriguez could begin shooting “as soon as April”. Dawson confirmed Miller’s news of an April start as well as her reprisal of Gail. Rourke confirmed that he would return as Marv.
On January 30, 2009, MTV News reported that the script was indeed finished and would shoot sometime in 2009.
On April 7, 2009, it was reported that The Weinstein Company had lost the rights to the prequel. Weinstein lawyer Bert Fields quickly denied this, saying: “TWC’s rights to produce sequels to Sin City remain intact as they always have been. Any suggestion to the contrary is complete hogwash.”
In October 2009, producer Stephen L’Heureux of Solipsist Films said Sin City 2 would go into production sometime in the second half of 2010. Unlike the first film it will include new material by filmmaker Frank Miller; the first film was strictly based on his graphic novels.
With the death of Brittany Murphy in December 2009, it is unsure if the character Shellie will be recast or written out of the sequel, as Shellie plays a significant role in A Dame to Kill For and appears in the short story Blue Eyes, which ties directly into A Dame To Kill For and would likely feature into any sequel based on that story arc.
