Sin City 3

[Tg11]

Given the success of this franchise it begs the question of if there will be a 3rd film in this franchise? I mean we had the 2005 film and then the 2014 sequel of A Dame to Kill For which was a good sequel but not as good as the first one so it begs the question of if a third film will even happen

 

[Morg]

I was under the impression the 2nd didn't fare really well?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Uh, success? The second movie bombed, badly. Like so badly that they probably lost well over 60m on it. If you start adding it up, it probably is close to a 100m loss.

So I'd say another film is super unlikely. They waited to long to do the sequel and then it wasn't really liked.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I was under the impression the 2nd didn't fare really well?

39.4m WW on a 65m production budget. Only 13.7m domestically. It didn't fare well at all.

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah I was about to say...

 

[Tg11]

But at the same time even if it was a bomb I mean the movie was actually pretty good at least I thought so as far as the sequel goes but it obviously didn't outdo the first one because the first one was a classic so obviously the 2nd one wouldn't fare in comparison but the plot for the sequel was actually a good one

And for the 3rd one you would have your ideal villain that being Attorney General Roark he is the brother of Cardinal Roark and Senator Roark...why the Attorney General wasn't in the 2nd one is beyond me

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Honestly didn't really like the sequel. There were things I liked about it. Namely Eva Green, Josh Brolin, and JGL. But as a film, I thought it was rather poor. It lacked the pure energy of the original and did not feel cohesive at all imo. It really did feel like going through the motions to me.

If they for some reason did a third one, I'd really want them to find a new director.

 

[kguillou]

I really enjoyed the second one. I'm a huge fan of hardboiled film noir. However, I admit the segment with Joseph Gordon Levitt was completely useless and superfluous though and added nothing to the overall film. But the main segment with Eva Green and Jessica Alba's revenge story made the movie worth it to me.

 

[Drizzle]

Their big mistake was that the sequel came 6 years too late. Also making half the sequel original stories when they had plenty to choose from already. I loved the "A Dame to Kill For" part and the JGL segment was alright but that Nancy one was meh.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yeah Nancy's story was unfortunate. It was thinly written and Alba didn't have the chops to make it more then it was.

 

[Tg11]

Not to mention Powers Boothe was the perfect villain as Roark in the first 2 films hell he was probably better in A Dame to Kill For than in the first film and not to mention the Roark bloodline still exists because even though Senator Roark, Cardinal Roark and Roark Junior and Johnny are all dead there is a third Roark brother and he was never introduced in the movies but yet he is in the comics so if they ever did a third film he would be the ideal choice for villain

JGL's segment was original and wasn't based on one of the comics and it definitely was the most pointless one in the movie.

 

[Drizzle]

If Alba had still been really popular in 2014, I would have understood why they felt the need to include it.

 

[MadVillainy]

I thought the sequel sucked

 

[DarthSkywalker]

JGL's segment was original and wasn't based on one of the comics and it definitely was the most pointless one in the movie.

It is pointless, as is Marv's segment in the grand scheme of the story of the second film. But I liked it.

 

[Guts]

If there is a third one it will probably be based on Hell and Back. Rodriguez did say he wanted Johnny Depp to play Wallace.

 

[Fallen Angel]

You're not getting a third one. And Robert Rodriguez is busy with Jonny Quest and the Escape From New York remake.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Hell and Back is probably the best way to go in any theoretical sequel. I feel like the Nancy/Dwight/Marv well is pretty much run dry at this point.

 

[C. Lee]

I doubt there will be a third one.....but I will say that I liked the second more than the first.

That also should have happened years ago, when Depp was the biggest star in the world.

There really could have been an awesome trilogy out of this. The second movie could have been "A Dame to Kill For" and "Family Values" with "Hell and Back" as the third movie, with a few of the one-shots throughout both of them. But everyone was dragging their heels and didn't strike when the iron was hot. "A Dame to Kill For" really should have been released no later than 2009. Nobody gave a damn after nearly a decade.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

I enjoyed both the Sin City movies and would love to see a third - sadly I don't think that'll happen after the performance of the second one.

It was ten years ago Rodriguez sad he wanted Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas for a third Sin City movie that would be based on Hell and Back.

[Tg11]

Imagine if Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas were to be in a third one but if they can replace Robert Rodriguez as director then the next best thing would be to have Frank Miller only as director but collaborate with Tarantino instead

 

[Guts]

I'd rather not have Frank Miller as a director. Even if he did try to adapt The Spirit in the same style of Sin City. I thought that movie was crap.

Have you seen "The Spirit"?
