If you were excited to see the new Sin city movie in October, you’re out of luck. “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For,” the long-awaited sequel to 2005’s “Sin City” won’t be released until August 22, 2014. Delaying any movie by 10 months is a big deal, so why the wait?
It could be because director Robert Rodriguez is releasing “Machete Kills” in mid September. Maybe Rodriguez doesn’t want his movies overlapping in theatres, that may hurt business. Or it could be to give the filmmakers more time to work on the sequel’s special effects. Perhaps production is taking longer than expected.
Whatever the reason, 2014 will host two comic adaptations, “300: Rise of an Empire,” and “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.” Both movies star Eva Green, and both flicks are based on Frank Miller comics. I’d say that’s rather interesting, wouldn’t you?
“Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” features the character of Dwight (played by Clive Owen in the original film) now played by Josh Brolin. Dwight is a physically altered man who is “hunted down by the only woman he ever loved … and then watches his life go straight to hell.” That woman is Ava Lord, played by the wonderful Eva Green.
In addition to Brolin and Green, the movie stars Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Jaime King, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dennis Haysbert, Christopher Meloni, Jeremy Piven, Ray Liotta, Juno Temple, Stacy Keach and Julia Garner.
