rodriguez friggin quitting the DGA?
all these actors working for <scale
this is gonna be so crazy...

5/3/2004 3:30:11 AM

nice cast. what's the movie about?

5/3/2004 3:39:57 AM

nice, i like it when benicio and depp are paired up

5/3/2004 3:51:43 AM

is this the new Grand Theft Auto?

5/3/2004 4:02:24 AM

quite possibly the best "free-standing" comic series ever

frank millers vision, pure and simple
he wrote and illustrated it [right?]
and now he is writing it and co-directing it
which is why rodriguez had to quit the directors guild, so the movie could have two directors...

all the cast needs now:

lets get on that folks, k?

5/3/2004 4:51:12 AM

A lot of that cast list isn't correct. Several of those people are just rumored and haven't signed on. For instance, Nicholas Stahl has signed on in the role that Leonardo DiCaprio has presumably up for. Plus I believe Alba is taking the spot of King, Murhpy, or Bosworth.

5/3/2004 10:52:43 AM

Quentin Tarantino is also rumored to be directing one of the segments. I'm really hoping this one turns out quality.

5/3/2004 11:35:49 AM

they better not fuck this up. it needs to be extremely dark, kinda like dark city. I love frank miller and this has the possibility to be incredible if done right. oh, and I just can't see josh hartnett as dwight.

5/3/2004 11:48:01 AM

Maria Bello is hot in the Cooler (which is a good movie by the way).

5/3/2004 6:48:01 PM

bartleby - i figured it wasn't all correct
also - alba is in the bruce willis story arc, so she's probably taking the britany murphy spot - which i'm fully happy with

"they better not fuck this up"

With Miller co-directing and writing the screenplay, there's little to no chance that it won't be true to the source.

what the fuck are you bitches babbling about?

5/3/2004 8:10:12 PM

I was thinking that Alba is playing Goldie and/or Goldie's twin sister.

oh i thought we were talking GTA: Sin City here for a sec... wooh my mistake

5/3/2004 11:13:37 PM

Okay, here's where the cast stands now and which character they're playing from the best I can tell.


Sin City
Mickey Rourke = Marv
Jaime King = Wendy/Goldie
Carla Gugino = Lucille
Elijah Wood = Kevin

That Yellow Bastard
Bruce Willis = John Hartigan
Jessica Alba = Nancy Callahan
Nick Stahl = Junior

A Dame to Kill For
Josh Hartnett = Dwight
Marley Shelton = Mary
Rick Gomez = Burt Shlubb
= Gail
= Ava

Hell and Back
Rosario Dawson = Esther
Benicio Del Toro = Wallace
Clive Owen = The Colonel
Brittany Murphy = Shellie
Chiaki Kuriyama = Miho

6/2/2004 4:24:05 PM

this thing has the potential to be killer. better than pulp fiction imo. sin city is one of the coolest comics by one of the best (THE best in my opinion) writers in the business.

6/2/2004 4:35:46 PM

I don't get it

backstory plz

6/2/2004 5:40:39 PM

what the hell's going on here? Is this thread about one movie or four? wtf?!?

6/3/2004 8:28:03 AM

It's one movie with three or four stories intercutting like in PULP FICTION.

6/3/2004 8:48:09 AM

7/21/2004 2:58:48 PM

^ thats HOTT!

7/21/2004 3:11:48 PM

There is no GTA: Sin City, you n00bs. That was Rockstar's April Fools Day joke.

7/21/2004 4:58:20 PM

man, that looks fucking tight!!!!

7/21/2004 4:59:26 PM

rourke looks like a perfect choice for the part

7/21/2004 7:26:58 PM

is that a real pic or fanart?

7/21/2004 7:38:29 PM

It's supposidely real, but there's been no solid confirmation on it yet. If it's fake, we'll hear something tomorrow likely.

7/21/2004 8:12:29 PM

it looks pretty proffesional, that's for sure

7/21/2004 8:24:35 PM

The banner showed up on display at SDCC today, so that pretty much confirms its legitimacy.

7/22/2004 1:23:14 PM

hah, i thought you were talking about Spin City.

was like wtf mate

7/22/2004 2:06:54 PM

Man, I'm really excited about Sin City. I want to read the books first before I watch the movie.

7/23/2004 5:42:58 AM

yea, the books are hott too. very gritty

7/23/2004 6:40:58 AM

yeah, you gotta read the books before you see the movie. I really hope they handle it in that "dark" setting like the books. I'd go out and get one of the trade paperbacks of "a dame to kill for" or "the big fat kill." actually, they're all very good.

7/23/2004 8:47:36 AM

oh man
lots of posters
but the jessica alba one = h0t

unfortunately superherohype does not do hotlinking...
http://superherohype.com/cgi-bin/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Comic_Con_2004
4 of them right there...someone download and post

7/25/2004 10:11:26 AM

I just saw the posters, and they rock. Must put the Alba one as my background on my desktop.

7/25/2004 11:27:47 AM

the rourke one is still the best

7/25/2004 11:31:32 AM

That Rourke poster is pretty bad a$$!!!

7/25/2004 11:55:06 AM

you know what this movie needs? it needs halle berry

7/25/2004 11:56:18 AM

Why would it? It already has an all-star cast.

7/25/2004 11:58:25 AM

^ i'd hate t explain myself.

anyway, i dont know if i can see hartnett as dwight.

im still taken aback by the the proposed all-star cast. its amazing.

7/26/2004 10:42:43 PM

I read from Yahoo! that Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio didn't sign on to the movie. Just wanted to let everyone know.

7/26/2004 11:24:12 PM

^^Well, explain your reasoning, if you can, about how this cast IS NOT by any means of the imagination an all-star cast. I'd like to see you try.

7/26/2004 11:26:53 PM

I DEFY YOU TO.

7/27/2004 12:16:33 AM

ok, although i dont like ALOT of the movies these "all stars"have been in, they have been in in a few "blockbuster" films. but some others are cult classic actors. just for friendly sport or personal preference:

hartnett: pearl harbor, h20, 40 days and 40 nights (i hated p. harbor. what piece of shit. who the fuck would put him as a main character if they didnt think he'd have at least a decent draw?)
bucscemi: cult actor. how could you disagree with this. he's funny to no end and i think he can play a character for this comic to a t
benicio del toro: fear and loathing in las vegas, traffic, usual suspects. c'mon, the guy is a good actor, i like the films hes been. hes garnering respect. unlike that pearl harbor shit.
michael douglas: c'mon
brittany murphy: not an all star, but shes not bad. she was in 8mile and clueless. sure, not any hott movies by any means, but not too bad.
mickey rourke: hes not too bad. not an all-star but hes been in some decent roles i liked him in. once upon a time in mexico, get carter. he fits his char marv to a t as well.
christopher walken: another gimmie
bruce willis: regardless of if you think hes a bad actor or what not (although i think hes decent) hes a box office draw.
elijah wood: what was he before l.o.t.r?

so, in conclusion, who other than halle berry and patrick stuart and ian mckellan (besides lotr fame) was a really big draw for xmen? how about lotr? ian mckellan and elijah wood? (i really like cate blanchett but who still knows who she is. liv tyler isnt great but she has a name).

i think this assembled cast isnt bad. perhaps all-star is a stretch but its not too far off. its not like they have tom cruise, bruce willis, arnold, vin and some other big draws but it aint shabby.

7/27/2004 1:30:56 AM

X-Men: Hugh Jackman. Famke Jannsen isn’t a slouch either. LotR: Orlando Bloom, Viggo Mortensen, and Sean Astin, not to mention Hugo Weaving, but that was from Matrix fame.

Bruce Campbell is a cult actor, not Buscemi or Walken.

As far as your reasoning on actors: You may also know that he was in the movies Hollywood Homicide, The Faculty, and Black Hawk Down. He didn’t do bad in those movies. Maybe I’ll give you slack on Douglas, considering his only good movie is “Traffic.” Britney Murphy is a hyped, yet comical actress, but can play those serious roles like in 8 Mile. Bruce Willis is NO WAY NEAR a DECENT ACTOR. He’s really a GREAT actor. You see the roles he played in like the Die Hard series, 5th Element, and let us not forget him as Butch in “Pulp Fiction.” Genius. If he wasn’t in the 5th element, that movie would have been total garbage. Oh yeah, Elijah Wood, want great performances, watch “The Faculty”, “Radio Flyer”, and “The Good Son.” He was excellent in those.

Benecio Del Toro was the only guy I agreed with you on. He was also good in “The Fan” and “Way of the Gun.”

Rebute if you feel like it.

7/27/2004 1:56:24 AM

im not here to bitch about it. i think you have alot of good points. you're right, hartnett was in hollywood homicide and blackhawk down, the faculty. if you think hollywood was anything to be happy about, ill have to say you're numb. i liked blackhawk and the faculty was entertaining. douglas was in wall street and he was solid. the game wasnt bad either. i didnt see the need to say anything about willis in pulp fiction because i think that speaks for itself. i like willis. elijah isnt too bad but you're right, i overlooked some of the films hes been in.

but what im saying, what was jackman, jansen (not rounders) known for before xmen? oh yea, weaving? what had anyone else known him before matrix and lotr? i think they'e not bad, more jackman than jansen.

so you cant discount the cast in sin city if you're saying after the fact celebrity.

btw, way of the gun was funny. i actually enjoyed ryan p. in that.

[Edited on July 27, 2004 at 2:07 AM. Reason : weaving]

7/27/2004 2:06:31 AM

Sorry if I sounded too demanding on my point. I didn't want to be too imposing. I remember Jackman was in Kate and Leopold, but that was after X-Men, so you got me, and Janssen was also in the Faculty (lol), and Goldeneye. She was good in those movies too. Weaving seemed like he was in a lot of other non-popular films in America, but was considered a great actor from Australia.

That's my take, and I can't support it anymore.

Wait... Wait, wait a fucking minute here.


Did you just herald the acting abilities of Josh Hartnett and Brittany Murhpy while bashing Michael Douglas and Bruce Willis?

7/27/2004 2:20:25 AM

No, I said that Willis was a GREAT ACTOR. I said Douglas was good in "Traffic." I'm probably wrong with Douglas, but I LOVE Bruce Willis the actor. He's great. Yippie-ki-yeh mutha@#$%^$!!!!

7/27/2004 2:24:08 AM

okay... I see that now. But Michael Douglas... The man did win the fucking Oscar twice (albeit once for Producing). He's probably the most credible part of the movie.
