2005’s “Sin
City” is without a doubt the most faithful translation of comic-to-film ever
made. The look, the dialogue, the feel
of the entire film screamed off the screen, “Now this is a comic book
movie”. There may have been some lines
that got lost in the transition, but the action and stories were spot on. Why it took over seven years for the sequel,
not sure, maybe the 100 million dollars profit it brought to the studio wasn’t
enough. But all that matters now is that
this August we get to see the further adventures of Marv and his fellow Basin
City toughs in “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For”.
The trailer
is brief, but enough to whet the appetite.
If you’ve read the Frank Miller books, you recognize some of the classic
images, and if not, it still looks amazingly good. That stark black and white pallet looks
better than ever before, and looks as intense with that bit of fun as the
original. It also doesn’t hurt having talents
like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva Green, and Josh Brolin joining the fold.
