Jamie King talks Sin City 2
1/10/2009
Written by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub
One of the big sequels fandom has been waiting for is Sin City 2. Unfortunately, the film has never materialized, even though rumors of it gearing up have been online for years. Youd think with the success of the first film, the studio and the filmmakers would want to make another one as soon as possible.
And according to Jamie King, who I spoke with today at the press junket for My Bloody Valentine 3D, maybe everyone involved did have that intention. But for whatever reason
they couldnt all agree on what direction the sequel should go in.
But
its possible that all the previous problems have been put to bed, as Jamie says Frank Miller has finally finished the script for the sequel and she hopes to be making it this year.
As a big fan of the first movie, I really hope this is the year it finally gets made.
Anyway, heres what Jamie had to say about why the sequel has taken so long to get going
.its quite an interesting read
Collider: Do you think Sin City 2 is ever going to happen?
Jamie: Yeah. Frank just finished the script. I was with him the other night. He just finished it and the thing is
I think when Sin City came out it was such a big hit for the studio but the studio is frustrating
sometimes studios are awesome because they have a great vision for something, but then they want to do weird things with the second one. Robert didnt want to go down that route, so weve just be waiting till somebody knocked some sense into them, where we can do it the way we want to do it. None of the filmmakers or the actors were willing to sacrifice doing it any other way other than what we wanted to do it. Im hoping well do it sometime this year. But you know how movies are
I remember I was with Robert and he said were going in two months. I was like okay, well have to work out everybodys schedule. But then it got pushed. So you never really know with movies. It happens when it happens.
Collider: Do you know with Sin City 2 if Frank is taking existing material or did he write new material?
Jamie: Both. There is existing material and then there are things he has added to it also.
