I loved the first Sin City… but not for the same reasons most other people liked it. Yes it looked kinda cool. Yes the style was great. Yes the violence was over the top. But to me, the real brilliance of the film was 3 broken and self hating characters who have seen nothing but garbage in the world, each catch just the slightest glimpse of something beautiful (letters from a little girl, a night with a prositute, and the love of an ex-flame) and it totally captivates them to the point where nothing else matters. That was great movie making.
Anyway, it’s well known already that they are indeed moving forward with a Sin City 2, but what we didn’t know for sure was that the rumours that director Robert Rodriguez wants Angelina Jolie in the lead role was so set in stone. The good folks over at Dark Horizons give us this:
Rosario Dawson, who will reprise the role of rogue hooker Gail in the upcoming sequel to Sin City, told Sci-Fi Wire that director Robert Rodriguez wants Angelina Jolie to star in Sin City 2 and is delaying production to accommodate Jolie’s current pregnancy. “The film’s been kind of postponed because Robert has been interested in Angelina Jolie for the lead,” Dawson said in an interview. “But she’s very pregnant right now. So that’s putting an understandable hold on the film.”
SO there you have it. It looks like Sin City is going to have Angelina Jolie as it’s lead in the next flick. Personally, I think this is a GOOD thing. Think whatever you want about Jolie, the woman can ACT… not to mention I think her whole image and style will fit in with the Sin City world very nicely. Your thoughts?
