Shitty agent, shitty career choices. He's done. All that juice and hype he built up from Closer and CoM......gone. Now he plays second banana to the likes of Jason Statham. LOL.

Shoot em Up was incredible because of how ridiculous and over the top it was. It was basically a movie that took every cliche, turned it to 11, and then circled back around and turned it back to 11 again. It was so stupid and over the top that it was genius.
Is Rodriguez tired of wasting his time with that Spy Kids crap? 
Seriously, enough with that.
When you put it like that...lolz
I guess too little too late. Clive Own btw wouldn't even have a big part in this since IIRC he has a difference face in the other stories, or something like that.

Britttany's character isn't really going to make an appearance, so she doesn't really matter.
Benecio Del Toro's career is going to be made or broken by how good Star Trek 2 is.
Alba still is a big name, though, just because she's still pretty.
Del Toro won't be in Star Trek 2. He bailed. :\
That sucks, if the first one is any indication the next will make money.
Does it matter what happened to the actors in the first movie? I haven't read the comics, but I understand that they're mostly unconnected short stories. They could just go with stories about other characters if they can't get the old actors.
Sin City had a bunch of actors who were relevant in 2005, so just do the same thing again and get a bunch of actors who are relevant today for Sin City 2.

Hell. yes. Best cut trailer of all time.

hmm not sure i can get excited for this one... the first was great and innovative, i hope this won't just be more of the same... then again how can it not?
I assume they are going with the same esthetic?

DAT CARLA GUGINO.
I feel bad for Frank. He legitimately lost his mind, and understandably so. He was actually IN Manhatten while 9/11 happened.
To add insult to injury, he was writing the sequel to DKR. Here is a sequence in DKR from 10 years before where Gotham (aka New York at night) starts to descend to anarchy. Note the plane.
Click for big.
Click for big.
So. You wrote a story where a city descends to chaos and a plane ramming a building causes things to get worse.
10 years later You start writing the sequel in Manhatten. And TWO planes slam into the buildings next door and the city (and the country) descends to madness. AND Miller's a lapsed Catholic.
The human mind can only take so many coincidences before it breaks down and starts seeing patterns in the insanity. I can't say what HE felt, but I'd probably feel that God himself was giving me a goddamn message. And so would most of us, in that moment of mental collapsing. "How did I predict this? Is my work imitating life? Am I going insane? Is the world telling me something? Is God punishing me? Is God warning me? WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?" etc.
Miller's complete and total collapse from somewhat anarchistic-peace-through violent overthrow into full blown rightwing warhawk liberal-hating conservative was very, very sad to watch. He was always somewhat authoritarian, but 9/11 pushed him straight off the edge to full blown "If you're not with us, you're against us" authority.
I don't think it'll ruin the film TOO much. There's little to no Muslim terrorist presence in Sin City, the corruption is traditional American mafia old money and how it infects everyone from cops to politicians.
The stories are all about the average (albeit super-tough and moral) joes doing what they can to survive a corrupt city where no one is honest. Terrorism doesn't really fit those themes.
While Miller is insane, I doubt he'd rewrite his own material to change the core themes that made him famous in the first place.

I swear, there's a girl who works at the bakery at the local Publix who looks like her. I hope Bledel is back. And I hope they keep the same art style the first movie had. Or something very similar at least.just open with alexis bledel getting shot from hartnell.
mmm, bledel is so cute

I can't believe the first one released in 2005, it's been that long? Time flies. Marv was so awesome, one of my favorite characters in the movie. I'm ready for a part 2.

Bruce Willis's career was dead the whole time.
He's actually in the new Wes Anderson movie.

What's amusing is that Mickey Rourke, who was still a faded, down-and-out actor when Sin City was released, is currently doing much better career-wise than most of the rest of the cast.

All I remember that wasn't in Sin City 1 is the Ava Lord stuff.
Haven't read them in awhile.

... i don't understand the relevancy of this list. why does it matter what an actor has been doing in the mean time?
and willis is going to be in moonrise kingdom and looper this year. those two look very cool.

It really is him. My mind was blown when I rewatched Sin City a few months back.
That's because Sin City revived his career. Slightly typecast as a big lug of a human, but work is work.
