random evil guy Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/sin_city/ rodriguez, miller and tarantino with an insane cast. looks really interesting and visually superb! the trailer is a real teaser; the music(the servant - cells) in it is superb.
Amentep Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 I've been looking forward to this for some time...I think it has the potiential to be a fantastic film! I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
random evil guy Posted March 17, 2005 Author Posted March 17, 2005 the 2nd trailer is on the official site: www.sincitythemovie.com
Laozi Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 They really better not **** this up, but I don't see how with Miller actually being there. I wonder if Rourke's involvement has to do with his work in Bar Fly, thas a movie with a really interesting back story People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Amentep Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Rodriguez suggested Rourke, but Miller wasn't sure. So Rodriguez arranged a meeting between the three, and apparently after the meeting and Rourke had left, Miller said "He's Marv." Or something to that effect, I'm paraphrasing from what Rodriguez said from memory about Mickey Rourke's involvment... I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Berserk Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 This movie looks sweet. It's going to be interesting to see how close they've gone with Millers excellent material.
Oerwinde Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 This movie looks sweet. It's going to be interesting to see how close they've gone with Millers excellent material. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Apparently they're using copies of the comics as storyboards. Thats how close. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
zer"0" Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Wow! I did not know of this. I looked at the thread title and thought ... ?? Kind of familiar... Sin City? This is about a movie? And then it clicked... Frank Miller!! Thanks for sharing. It looks very good! Man ... I really hope they pull this of.
Diogo Ribeiro Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Saw the trailer some time ago. Looks nifty. Am eagerly waiting for it. Or for any comic book-based movie that doesn't suck, for that matter.
Loof Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Yeah this is the movie of 2005!! Or it better be or I will be upset
Judge Hades Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I am considiering to go to this movie. I rarely go to movies and I haven't read the comic book. I do like the style of how they present the movie however and I am curious how Elijah Wood does in this. The only movies I seen that actor in he was playing characters that were either fighting alien invaders or had a nasty rash due to a ring of some sort.
Diogo Ribeiro Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 and I haven't read the comic book. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Black and white violence perpetrated by a bulky man of small words but big feelings.

It's goning to be interesting to see how Wood tackles this one..
Zero Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 The trailers look good; that one black cop with the uzi looks badass. Del Toro looks like he does a good job as a low life. Unfortunately I have never seen a Rodriguez movie that I liked. Depp was the only good part of Once Upon a Time in Mexico...the rest of the movie was boring as hell. Edit: Might be good though...the music in the background is cool as hell
Arkan Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Considering checking it out, as well... "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Rosbjerg Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 just say the trailer .. looks great! ) definitely a film I have to tjeck out! unfortunatly I have never heard of, and thereby never read, the comics it's based off .. Fortune favors the bald.
Whitemithrandir Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I will ALWAYS visualize elijah as frodo. It'll be very difficult to visualize him as anything else Word economics To express my vast wisdom I speak in haiku's.
Torpar Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Definitely looking forward to seeing this movie... Frank Miller's works in the past have been just pure genius (he "humanized" most of the superheroes we know today and made them popular). The trailer was nice, but a little disappointing as it was just random crumbs and pieces of action...
Rosbjerg Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 hmm been checking the internet for the work of Miller .. could someone please post what he's made? that would be great, just to be sure I didn't miss something! I would like to read some of his work before I see the movie! thanks in advance! - Rosbjerg Fortune favors the bald.

Miller greatly improved the character of Batman, giving him a darker, deeper backstory and more human qualities. He also created Ronin, an obscure sci-fi story about a samuari who travels to the future (if my memory is correct). Not sure about this, but I think Miller also worked on the RoboCop movies (which I was an avid fan of when I was younger - I watched most of them, believe it or not)... Hope that helps...
Rosbjerg Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 It does.. thanks! seems I know his work, just not his name .. Fortune favors the bald.
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 I think Miller wrote the screenplay for Robocop 2, if I'm not mistaken. And be sure to check out the Dark Knight Returns TPB. It's a great read. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Laozi Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 My favorite work of Miller's is 300, the story of the Spartans. Man the comic book kicks ass People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
