Since Robert Rodriquez released “Sin City” four years ago, fans have been laying awake at night wondering when the Texican director will finally get around to making a sequel. Well, it seemed for a while that it wasn’t going to happen anytime soon, or at all since the director kept quipping comments like “I always say ‘Sin City 2 right’ around the corner, because that’s what everybody wants to hear and I like pleasing the audience…but it might be a long corner.”
However, when recently discussing the project with IGN, the director hinted that he might be caving under fan pressure and changing his mind about the possibility of a sequel, “Next week we’re going to talk about it some more and get a timing on when we’d be doing it. But there’s a lot of people who are interested in it. … We are definitely going to do that one [Sin City 2].” He could have genuinely changed his mind and decided to helm the project or just be splitting the difference and planning to serve as an executive producing, while letting Frank Miller have the reigns of the sequel.
You’ll notice he says “we” and said “Predators” and “Machete” were his projects — and they are — but he’s only co-directing the latter and about about the former, he said he would only possibly, “pick up a camera and co-shoot the coolest scenes” (i.e., he’s not officially directing that one either). What we’re saying is, his talk about the film going forward doesn’t necessarily preclude the fact that he might not direct any “Sin City 2” film. Our money is on that he won’t.
As far as what the possible “Sin City 2” might be about, Rodriquez says it will include the Sin City story “A Dame to Kill For” as well as new additional material written by Miller himself. [IGN via MTV Splash Page]
