[Mels_Smileys45]

Is anyone as hyped about this movie as I am. Im sure this will be one of the best films since Pilp Fiction and Ill watch it like a 100 times! I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[evilmegaman]

seems pretty cool to me :)

[infringer]

Never heard of it really... What is it animae a movie or citcom?

-infringer-

[evilmegaman]

It's a movie. It has the weirdest lighting effects of any new movie there is (I think)

[Mels_Smileys45]

Sin City is based on a comic by Frank Miller, one of the best comic writters out there. The look of this film is amazing but with Robert Rodriguez helping out ,along with Quenten Tarantino, this will be the best movie of 2005. This movie will blow everyones socks off! I promise! Except for Modestas and Kleenr. I can;t wait!!! Its killing me!

[mfgbypooter]

Yeah this movie is definitely gonna rock.

Here's a link for those to lazy to look it up for themselves.

if you look at some pictures from the comic you will see that the comic was made in black & white. Making it in full colour would be a stupid idea.

Saying 'why make a movie black and white in 2005' is like saying why would musicians still use orchestra for their music when they can use a synthesizer.

It contains quite the star studded cast to say the least. I'm suprised I've never heard of it.

[crackerjacker]

cool i wanna see it soon as it hits the movie theatre i will watch it. *and u guys know how * too
;)

[SanDiegoKid]

Kleenr is actually quite excited about Sin City.

Kleenr has read many of the graphic novels and can't wait to see Rosario Dawson.

Kleenr thinks this could be Robert Rodriguez's first good movie. (face it, they all sucked)

Kleenr is not wearing pants.

[Mels_Smileys45]

I don't think Robert Rodriguez's has ever made a bad movie. I even love the Spy Kids movies. And I was just poking fun at ya Kleenr

# After a poor Hollywood experience in the early-'90s, Frank Miller refused to relinquish the movie rights to any of his comic works, "Sin City" in particular. Robert Rodriguez, a longtime fan of the comic, filmed his own "audition" for the director's spot in secret. The footage, shot in early 2004, featured Josh Hartnett and Marley Shelton acting out the "Sin City" short-story "The Customer is Always Right". He presented the finished footage to Miller with the proclamation: "If you like this, this will be the opening to the movie. If not, you'll have your own short film to show your friends." Miller approved of the footage and the film was underway. Rodriguez also screened the footage for each of the actors he wanted to cast in the film - all of whom are reported to have been instantly amazed.

# Rodriguez, who credits Miller's visual style in the comic as relevant as his own in the film, insisted that Miller receive a "co-director" credit with him. The Directors' Guild of America would not allow it. As a result, Rodriguez resigned from the DGA, saying "It was easier for me to quietly resign before shooting because otherwise I'd be forced to make compromises I was unwilling to make or set a precedent that might hurt the guild later on." Unfortunately, by resigning from the DGA, Rodriguez was also forced to relinquish his director's seat on the film John Carter of Mars (2006) (at the time "A Princess of Mars" after the book on which it was based) for Paramount. Rodriguez had already signed-on and been announced as director of that film when the DGA situation took place, planning to begin filming soon after wrapping this film.

# Based on the graphic novels "Sin City" (this was the first of all the stories and originally had no title, but Miller has since re-named it "The Hard Good-Bye"), "The Big Fat Kill" and "That Yellow Bastard", by Frank Miller. The infamous "opening footage" with Josh Hartnett and Marley Shelton is from the Sin City short-story "The Customer is Always Right" from the "Babe Wore Red" collection.

Well for one, its no comedy. It a crime drama. Look and read before you post :bling

He'll probably find this movie funny.

[Mels_Smileys45]

Here is the best place to see a very high quality trailer. The movie is not all black and white. http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/sin_city/

OK i can see where one who is not american could assume that but then you go on about how it will be no good and never bothered to look. Your fault. Im sorry

[Mels_Smileys45]

The Pic of Rosario Dawson licking her lips makes my pants tight!

[SanDiegoKid]

mmm rosario... she's the best in Kids.

also, her silver dress in 25th hour is slinky and nummy.

[mfgbypooter]

Who's wearing pants?

[infringer]

Well the trailer is definately quite interesting I wouldnt mind flipping the 10spot to see this one myself.

Thx for the heads up on what appears to be a nice flick. Difanately has the comic like atmosphere.

-infringer-

[Wolfie]

Trailer looks pretty cool and black/white aspect is pretty refreshing. I might even pay for this one. ;)

[Mels_Smileys45]

I can't wait to see this on the big screen. The more clips i see the more I am amazed.


I also think that Robert Rodriguez did a very nobel thing in resigning from the DGA to give Frank Miller director credit for using his comics vision. I don't think anyone else in Hollywood would ever do such a thing. Rodriguez lost millions of dollars by doing this. Hopefully this will give Miller the cred he deserves to get more of his work noticed.

[tackdaddy]

i won't see it because it is in black and white.

[Miniver]

I think it's more like black white and red.

[wingnut2600]

My God... people miss the fucking point.

This film is a Noir drama... based upon a comic that used black and white and color to accentuate points in the comic and give it an extra-gritty story. I am a huge fan of Robert Rodriguez as a director... he has shown amazing promise and he has unbeleivable potential with media that he believes in. I believe this will be his break-out film... the one that people will watch and either not get or realize and be blown away. Even those that are not astounded will see this vision and realize the value of it.

This movie is not black and white... it is noir with exclamation fucking pints... it is focusing the vision.

what is wrong with black and white? Color is just a tool. I have seen many films in B&W that far surpass the cinematic excellence of colored films.

Go and see this movie you mainstream tools. How often does a mainstream movie come out that will challenge you and expand the devices available for the major studios... this film will change the way films are made.

Modestas... you are a dipshit and will eat your fucking words... I guarantee.

[Mels_Smileys45]

Point well made wingnut. Anyone who says they wont watch a movie because of the color is crazy.

[Mels_Smileys45]

Please go here (http://movies.channel.aol.com/franchise/exclusives/sin_city_movie) and watch this new trailer. Anyone will have to be amazed at the way black and white with CGI color is used. Its so beautiful, its the best shot film I've seen since Hero. All will bow down to this film. I promise.


More awesome clips here http://www.themoviebox.net/movies/2005/STUVWXYZ/SinCity/trailer.php

[SanDiegoKid]

The comics made great use of negative space.


Some good talent in this thing...

Nick Stahl
Clive Owen
Mickey Rourke
Benicio Del Toro
Rutger Hauer (when was this man's last good flick!? blade runner?)

.. among others.

Interesting fact to the film all the more reason to support the film as credit is going where credit is due so I would urge anyone with the slightest incline of a thought of going to see the film to go see it it aint too often you see a holywood director preform on the good sumeratian level unless there giving to chairity basically getting a tax write off for there money in the long run anyway...

Right on good find indeed.

[Mels_Smileys45]

I want to download the hi rez trailer but you have to instal some kinda beta test program that sounds a lot like BT. maybe I can find it on a BT site somewhere.

[Mels_Smileys45]

According to Variety, Quentin Tarantino got paid exactly $1 to film a scene in Sin City. Robert Rodriguez co-directed the rest of the Dimension Films drama with Frank Miller, who created the graphic novel series. Tarantino filmed a scene in the final segment featuring Clive Owen, Benicio Del Toro and Brittany Murphy.

While it seemed Tarantino was working cheap, he actually got the better of the deal between himself and Rodriguez. After all, Tarantino paid Rodriguez $1 to compose the score for "Kill Bill Vol. 2."

Tarantino went to Austin, Texas, to shoot the scene and because he wanted to sample the digital filmmaking techniques Rodriguez used on "Sin City."

Again, no one knows wtf your talking about, but you.

Noir drama = crime drama

comic = comicbook

[rebirth]

I am so seeing this. Legally.

[SanDiegoKid]

I like you, Modestas, don't get me wrong... but you need to move beyond American Ninja 4.

[YWD67]

actually, in nowadays I dont watch any movies except horror. were days, when I was insane for martial arts movies... but these days left in the past. I never loved comedys, dramas or something like that.
heheh, I have already moved beyond AN series...

With that bit of revolation ModestasM,I bet you would die laughing at the HBO series Autopsy.
Here is a little present for you and your preference for horror movies ModestasM.
http://tracker.zaerc.com/

Check out Killer Klowns From Outer Space, there is some dark humor there for you. Also there is a connection between Killer Klowns and Animal House. If you watch it you will get my meaning. Maybe the dark side of comey will get a laugh out of you.

[Mels_Smileys45]

I wondered done you watch the trailers I posted if or did like to you maybe just bitch. Mayhaps me didn't say right that which I meant to say.

I'm an old underground comix fan and nowadays that line between the undergrounds and mainstream is definitely fuzzy (yawn...get to the point)....I saw the trailer on TV last night and it made me take notice!
Mainly the cinematography was a fresh/new/interesting look to say the least, best new view that I have seen in along time....last new look that interested me was when "Reboot" first showed up on TV in the mid 90's..
Second.....I'm an old Mickey Rourke fan.
Hey guys, don't rain on Mel's parade....I know what it's like to get pumped up about something that no one else has a clue about...I'm with you Mels !!!

Thanks slackdaddy. I think alot of people will take notice once the ad's really start kicking in. It does have an amazing look and the scenes are straight out of the comic. Mostly word for word to from what I understand. I saw a web site that compaired a scene to the comic and it was the same, this is why Frank Miller derserves directing credit. His art and storys have always been my favorite(well in the top 5 anyway). To bad they destroyed Electra with that god awefull movie.

I first took note of his work in 1986 when I picked up the Dark Knight grafic novel as a kid. From there I read all of his work I could find. I'm so happy a director has given the man his due.

This may also be Mickeys big comeback movie as well.

[wingnut2600]

Man... Dark Knight blew my mind... I am a big fan of year one as well... DK2 was disappointing, and Miller's pencils have become sloppier over the years, but he does have an unique vision. Robocop2 was an interesting film as well... not good, but had an interesting use of symbolism.

I wish that Warner would just film Miller's version of Year One, with no rubber suits or batmobiles - just a guy who has trained himself for his whole life to try to stop people from being victimized.

[Mels_Smileys45]

Here is new trailer, the making of Sin City. Pretty cool and its 11 minutes long http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/sincity.html

[CRLocky]

wow, that is a tricked out cast! I'll probably see it in the theatres with my girl. The black and white will be cool for me, I always like a little change.

[Mels_Smileys45]

WOW! I saw it and I loved it! The ending was a downer but I sorta expected that. I wish Elijah Wood's character would of had more to do, he was bas ass and the most interesting one in the movie. Lots of killing that was kick ass!

[Krell]

SCORE ! im glad you got to see it.

I like the way the film jumped right in there with the violence and nudity.



.

[Undercurrent]

i saw it the other day, and i have to say that it was one of the best movies ive seen in a while. I took my girlfriend with me, and she didnt mind the gore at all because it was all so dramatised. And the stories are all really good. I can understand though why some more conservative people may find it offensive. But i loved it and the black and white filming with blips of color was awesome.

[Mels_Smileys45]

Its a great movie but I still think my nod goes to Kung Fu Hustle as the best movie I've seen this year, though its ending sucked a but too.

[MrGonzo]

I take it back, the movie did not suck. I just saw it...10/10!!! KICK ASS MOVIE!!!!

[Mels_Smileys45]

I take it back, the movie did not suck. I just saw it...10/10!!! KICK ASS MOVIE!!!!


When did you say it sucked! I missed that or I would have been WTF!?

I just wonder has Modestass seen it yet or the others who said it was goind to suck because it was in black and white.

[Mels_Smileys45]

i won't see it because it is in black and white.


"You just gone and done the dumbest thing in your whole life."



Youre missing out on one of the coolest movies made in years. Not to mention it looks way better than most color movies.
:;)

I'm wondering when an uncut version will be released since they had to fight to get an R rating. I'm sure thay had to cut some violence out damn it! I also wonder was Quentins scene cut, he was to direct the last scene but the way it ended makes me think his part might have been cut. I dont know.

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

Sin City, Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's adaptation of the latter's noirish graphic novels, is to be made into a TV series.

The project is one of several on a tantalising slate for a new TV production company being set up by the Weinstein brothers through their new outfit, The Weinstein Co.

The Miramax founders, who left their own firm after a dispute with parent company Disney over their desire to make larger, more costly films, look set to use all their big screen connections as they vie to make inroads in the television sphere.

sorry to bump, but i just saw this dvd finally the other night... would have sworn there was no way on earth that they could make benicio del toro repulsive, but there it was.... couldn't even tell that was mickey rourke (and his character was my favorite)... a lot of good actors in this film, some of them underused.

[Excrement_Cranium]

Not to mention a director's cut with 20 plus minutes of additional footage is on the way.


Even my wife loved this movie, and she doesn't like a movie unless it makes her cry.
