Sin City Movie Update

Sin City cover artVariety reports that Robert Rodriguez has closed his cast on "Sin City" by adding Benicio Del Toro and Clive Owen to the Dimension Films ensemble project. The noir drama is divided into three chapters named for titles in the Miller series: "Sin City," "That Yellow Bastard" and "The Big Fat Kill." Del Toro and Owen will be seen in the last segment, along with Brittany Murphy. Rodriguez hopes to draft Quentin Tarantino's assistance in directing the final chapter. The film cast also includes Bruce Willis, Josh Hartnett, Mickey Rourke, Nick Stahl, Jessica Alba, Elijah Wood, Carla Gugino, Jaime King and Marley Shelton.

You can also see Entertainment Tonight "On The Set" footage showing Bruce Willis as Hartigan and Jessica Alba as Nancy.

This is all starting to look pretty good. I might have to take back some of what I initially said about the project back in February. Regardless of how good Rodriguez's film might be, the books will always be my prefered form for enjoying Miller's stories in Sin City.
