Sin City the movie

Sin City movie poster with Clive Owen

If you haven't yet seen the trailer for Sin City, then you need to get to it. It is a very stylish and interesting comic, and it looks like the movie producers/director are making an effort to be true to the original. Robert Rodriguez even took Frank Miller (creator of the comic) on as a co-director when producing the movie.

And if you need anymore reason to see it, it has Clive Owen, who is absolutely gorgeous and made King Arthur worth seeing just for him. There are five different movie posters, and I picked the one with him.

The film also has a really cool website with clips of all the characters, most with pictures of their comic book counterparts.


Info about the movie:
Robert Rodriguez (“Spy Kids,” “Once Upon a Time in Mexico”) and comic book icon Frank Miller co-direct SIN CITY, based on the series of graphic novels created, written, and illustrated by Miller. SIN CITY is infested with criminals, crooked cops and sexy dames, some searching for vengeance, some for redemption and others, both. The film incorporates storylines from three of Miller's graphic novels including 'Sin City,' which launched the long-running, critically acclaimed series, as well as 'That Yellow Bastard' and 'The Big Fat Kill.'
Rodriguez, along with Miller, translated these legendary stories from page to screen by remaining absolutely faithful to the look, feel and dialogue of the books.
SIN CITY stars Bruce Willis as Hartigan, a cop with a bum ticker and a vow to protect stripper Nancy (Jessica Alba); Mickey Rourke as Marv, the outcast misanthrope on a mission to avenge the death of his one true love, Goldie (Jaime King), and Clive Owen as Dwight, the clandestine love of Shelley (Brittany Murphy), who spends his nights defending Gail (Rosario Dawson) and her Old Towne girls (Devon Aoki and Alexis Bledel) from Jackie Boy (Benicio Del Toro), a dirty cop with a penchant for violence.
