Sin City

Here is the final version of the movie poster for Sin City. Sin City is based on the comic book of the same name by Frank Miller. One of the great writers in comic history. The book has a very film noir feel to it. It is mostly black and white, with splashes of color for effect. The movie looks as though it captures this almost perfectly. Check out the trailer here. One of my most looked forward to movies of the year.

Plot Summary: Robert Rodriguez 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.

***On a side note, Rodriguez would not do this without Miller. However, since Miller is not a part of the Directors Guild, the guild wasn't going to let the co-directing happen. So Rodriguez quit the Directors Guild!
