Frank Miller's Sin City - The Movie

Warning, brief nudity. Some gore. And lots of awesome.

I have only read a few of the comics, and yet, this trailer has managed to get me all excited.
Even if you're not a fan of the comics, I suggest watching the trailer.
This just might be the awesomest movie ever.

If anyone who is even slightly a fan of the comics neglects to see this, I will stab their eyes out with Gal's collection of rusty weaponry.

You have been warned.

Whoa! I'm not a comic reader, but the artsy/bizarre style is appealing to me.

This was filmed down the street.

All hail Rodriguez.

MrColossal · Sat 02/10/2004 04:29:23

I think it looks very unimpressive, at the risk of sounding repetative..

I understand they're trying to keep the style of the comic but... more than half the scenes they showed were just in a black room... nothing interesting about them really.

Maybe it's too early to tell but, blah, it's too boring for me from that trailer.

Sweet. Robert Rodriguez rocks.

DGMacphee · Sat 02/10/2004 04:53:02

From what I understand, Rodriguez gave Miller co-directing credit -- That's how much influence Millar had on the film. So much so that Rodriguez quit the Director's Guide due to their one-director-one-film policy.

I also read news reports that Tarantino directed some of it too.

[Cameron] · Sat 02/10/2004 04:59:35

Sweet. Tarantino also rocks.
Fav list.
1. Tarantion
2. Rodriguez
3. Danny Boyle

He directed one scene, for the princely sum of $1.

Personally, I refuse to see the film because in the penultimate shot in that preview (assuming it's the same one I already have) that woman-person spins around once. The sound effects suggest she is spinning around repeatedly - at least three times.

THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE STANDARD FOR EARLY PREVIEW FOOTAGE ORIGINALLY ONLY INTENDED TO BE SHOWN AT A COMIC BOOK CONVENTION.

I have to agree with Colossal that the trailer seemed a bit boring. It seemed like each scene had an unusual block, other then the beginning, that just kind of gave you a bunch of small pieces of scene. I have a feeling that was inspired by Tarantino. I have all the confidence in the world the overall movie will be anything but boring..

Good? Who knows.. Boring. I doubt it.

Tarantino payed Rodriguez $1 for doing some usic on Kill Bill. A wonderful cycle.

LGM · Thu 07/10/2004 02:25:44

If my mind serves correctly, Rodiguez did ALL the original music for Kill Bill.. But I could be mistaken.

[Cameron] · Thu 07/10/2004 09:29:34

Sorry, I was the one mistaken. Robert did all the music for Kill Bill 2. RZA did the music for Kill Bill. I think anyway. And Tarantino paid Robert to direct one scene in KB2.

Manofast · Thu 07/10/2004 09:54:27

Actually you're both wrong. BOTH Rodriguez and RZA did music for Kill Bill Vol. 2, but Rodriguez did the bulk of it.

Welp, an official trailer has been released.
I think the new trailer is much more appealing than the old one.
I still believe this will be a good movie.

Official release date: April 1st, 2005.

I'm rather excited.

LGM · Fri 25/02/2005 21:24:29

I had never heard of Sin City before this. The trailer makes me want to grab every issue of the comic I can get my hands on.. But sadly, comic book reading is an expensive habit.. Almost as bad as smoking o_0

* [lgm] marks April 1st as "Cream Your Pants Day"

New trailer! ^_^

If this doesn't make you want to watch the movie, nothing will.

evenwolf · Thu 10/03/2005 02:21:04

There have only been two trailers.

The first clip, which eric commented on long ago, was leaked from one of the dubbing houses. A guy lost his job over it but I think the leak unintentionally served to hype people up.

This last trailer actually gives me an idea of the story, and for that I'm grateful. I will watch this one. It looks good, and I know the visual effects coordinator - a stand up guy- so atleast it will be pretty.

MrColossal · Thu 10/03/2005 02:55:05

Evenwolf? of all the posts you comment on... Its for Sin City?

But honestly, special guest director Quentin Tarantino? The hell?
