I have a feeling....

With "The Spirit's" dismal numbers at the box-office that Miller might not be a sought after household name anymore from studios. "Sin City" might now have a hard time getting made along with "Ronin" and "The Dark Knight Returns" because it's too chancey.

So, is this just a minor setback or is this Miller's swan song? What say you?

 

[CrimsonMist]

Didn't Lions Gate, while "The Spirit" was filming(very early on) announce that they were so impressed that they already gave the OK for 2 more films?

They're probably going to re-consider. Or start over again. (God i hope so)

Sin City might have problems getting made. It depends on the cast i think. With Dark Knight Returns, if Zack Snyder gets to direct it, and if Watchmen is successful, i think that would be a definite go down the road.

Plus he's already signed on for Buck Rogers: Prostitutes In Space... Or whatever he'll call it..

Deals are made to be broken .

I don't think it would prevent something like Sin City 2 from being made if Rodriguez gets everyone together.

I simply feel that Frank Miller probably won't get control over a project again like he did with Sin City. Unless financiers, studios, and investors hate their money.

I hope this means the Frank Miller gravy train will stop now. Lionsgate needs to put a halt on their sequel plan or better yet, cancel it outright. I doubt Miller will get the same creative control as he did with The Spirit on Buck Rogers, if he is still attached to the movie.

In terms of adaptions of Frank Miller's work, I don't think it will affect anything. I don't think he's going to have much of a directing career, unless Robert Rodriguez is with him. I'm certain Sin City 2 will be made, but Frank sure as hell won't be doing it by himself.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I wouldn't be surprised if that BuckRogers thing went the way of the dinosaur but SinCity 2 should be safe if the stars come back and RR directs again.

This failure couldn't have happened to a more sexist baboon.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Yeah, as long as Robert Rodriguez and the cast comes back "Sin City 2" will be in good hands, I just think Miller pretty much got a bit too presumptuous and sure of himself that he could finally branch off and do anything when he knew nothing about directing a feature-film. Rodriguez had him film a scene and watch how the filmmaking process goes but I just feel in some ways, Miller felt or somehow thought of himself as efficacious as if he could do no wrong. This movie isn't really a tribute to Eisner at all (IMO), it's more of a tribute to the 1940's-hey-day of yesteryear but pretty much it's "Sin City" with fedora hats and gumshoes. Samuel L. Jackson should've been muzzled for all the zany costumes and ideas he had. The running "egg" gag joke was excruciatingly bad. I would've gave The Spirit a gun just to shoot the tailor and The Octopus for both being incredibly stupid.

I still hope though Zack Snyder will make a "Dark Knight Returns" movie and also "Ronin" and some of other Miller properties will be made but I hope Miller will be exemplified from directing rights and just take a backseat; overlooking and choreographing how the adaptations of his books. Leave it to the big boys, Frank. You're still a genius in my book but even geniuses have their moment where that geniusness suddenly loses itself.
