By Leave a Comment

sin-city-2-character-poster1-slideIf all had been as we were first promised, we’d have been watching Sin City: A Dame To Kill For on 2006. But for various reasons the film was delayed, to the point where many had given up hope. Now it’s coming and we’ve got the first full trailer.

The sequel features the return of Sin City stars Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis and Rosario Dawson, along with newcomers such as Jamie Chung, Alexa Vega, Lady Gaga, Josh Brolin (taking over Clive Owen’s role), Ray Liotta, Marton Csokas, Eva Green and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller reunite to bring Miller’s visually stunning “Sin City” graphic novels back to the screen in SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR. Weaving together two of Miller’s classic stories with new tales, the town’s most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more reviled inhabitants. SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR is the follow up to Rodriguez and Miller’s 2005 groundbreaking film, FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY.’

It’s out in the US on August 22nd and in the UK on August 29th. [Read more…]

The Iceman (DVD)

The Iceman is a textbook case of how to take a fascinating true story and make it far duller than it actually ought to be. It can’t quite decide whether it wants to ditch the facts and just be a rollicking story or stick close to the truth in order go deep into reality – and its indecision results in a film that doesn’t seem to know quite what it’s for, other than killing a lot of people.

David Hasselhoff & Ray Liotta To Play Themselves In Stretch

By Leave a Comment

david-hasselhoffJust yesterday we reported that James Badge Dale had joined the likes of Patrick Wilson, Chris Pine, Brooklyn Decker and Ed Helms in Joe Carnahan’s Stretch. Now the cast has expanded some more, with TheWrap reporting that Ray Liotta and David Hasselhoff have signed on to play versions of themselves in the flick, with Shane Toub also set to appear.

The film is about a downtrodden man (Patrick Wilson) who becomes the limo driver for an eccentric billionaire (Chris Pine). What he doesn’t know is that his boss is about to make his life a living hell. As the limo drives around, what the driver doesn’t know is that the billionaire is trying to sell a list of his criminal associates to the highest bidder, which means there are some very dangerous people looking for the car. Ed Helms will be the man’s limo driver colleague.

There’s no info on exactly how Liotta and Hasselhoff will fit into the film. It’s due to start shooting at the end of the month.

Killing Them Softly (Blu-ray)

When you start watching Killing Them Softly, you might be confused about why this Brad Pitt film seems to have a distinct lack of Brad Pitt. He doesn’t turn up until nearly 30 minutes in, but certainly makes his presence felt when he does arrive.

Before he comes on-screen we follow Frankie (Scoot McNairy) and Russell (Ben Mendelsohn), two small-time hoods who are talked into ripping off a mob-controlled card game. As you’d expect the local criminal fraternity isn’t top impressed by this, and so hire Jackie (Pitt) to find out who’s responsible and hunt them down. [Read more…]

Ray Liotta, Juno Temple & Jeremy Piven Join Sin City: A Dame to Kill

By Leave a Comment

ray-liottaMost films finalise their cast before they shoot, but due to the green screen nature of the Sin City films – where actors don’t even need to be in the same room at the same time to shoot a scene together – Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller seem to be going for an approach which is to see who’s free and then add cast members when they’re needed.

So despite it having already been shooting for quite a while, The Playlist has revealed Ray Liotta, Juno Temple, and Jeremy Piven have joined the ever-growing cast of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. However, no details have been released regarding their characters.

This follow-up to Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s Sin City features returning cast members as well as a number of new actors, some taking on previously established roles. Mickey Rourke (Marv), Jessica Alba (Nancy), Rosario Dawson (Gail), and Jaime King (Wendy) are reprising their original roles. Jamie Chung is replacing Devon Aoki as Miho, Dennis Haysbert takes over for the deceased Michael Clarke Duncan as Manute, and Josh Brolin steps in for Clive Owen as Dwight.

The film will hit cinemas this autumn.
