Holy crap.  This is going to be right up my alley.

I know.  If the previous footage with Hartnett is an indication of what to expect, this movie is going to be a very embarassing time.  But with this finely cut trailer, I can still cross my fingers.

oh my god, I haven't been paying much attention to this movie's production, but that trailer is fucking unbelieveable, best one I've seen in a long long time.

[modage]

god this looks cool, but after OUATIM i am SO worried about his ability to tell a story.

[El Duderino]

i must say i was quite impressed with that trailer

[Weak2ndAct]

Gugino in the buff:

[Myxo]

How the HELL did I miss this?



Oh my god I just creamed my pants after watching this trailer.



Definetly on my list of films to see on opening day for 2005..

My concerns exactly.
My faith is increased by the fact that Frank Miller is "co-directing" and maybe that'll help Rodriguez out...
Then again, the original graphic novels aren't exactly complex in their plot structure. More abour the atmosphere, visuals and characters than complicated plot-strands.

One thing that annoys me slightly... Rodgiruez doesn't need to save any more money, so he could just hire himself a real cinematographer. For this, maybe it won't be as necessary as he's working off an excellent storyboard (the Sin City source material) , but the cinematography in OUATIM was so flat. And the editing was quite mediocre as well. Shot, chopped and scored by RR himself... and boy, you can tell.

And in my book, Rodriguez has yet to make an _excellent_ movie. Hope this is what actually showcases his actual talent.

Rodriguez, who credits Miller's visual style in the comic as relevant as his own in the film, insisted that Miller receive a "co-director" credit with him. The Directors' Guild of America would not allow it. As a result, Rodriguez resigned from the DGA, saying "It was easier for me to quietly resign before shooting because otherwise I'd be forced to make compromises I was unwilling to make or set a precedent that might hurt the guild later on." Unfortunately, by resigning from the DGA, Rodriguez was also forced to relinquish his director's seat on the film John Carter of Mars (2006) (at the time "A Princess of Mars" after the book on which it was based) for Paramount. Rodriguez had already signed-on and been announced as director of that film when the DGA situation took place, planning to begin filming soon after wrapping this film.

Good for him. Sticking to what he believes is right over self-preservation. I think he's more comfortable shooting small budget movies anyway, so it may be a torpedo effort on purpose.

Still though, major kudos and respect.

[Gamblour.]

Awesome, I've always wanted to see Gugino naked since Snake Eyes

Tarantino Confirmed for Sin City

Variety has confirmed that Quentin Tarantino has directed part of Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's big-screen adaptation of the latter's Sin City graphic novel series.

So how much did it cost to hire QT? Precisely one dollar. That's reportedly the same amount Tarantino paid Rodriguez to score Kill Bill Vol. 2.

The trade says "Tarantino filmed a scene in the final segment featuring Clive Owen, Benicio Del Toro and Brittany Murphy."

He also went to Sin City's Austin set "because he wanted to sample the digital filmmaking techniques Rodriguez used."
