When Sin City was released in 2005, we were initially told two sequels were incoming and they’d both arrive within a couple of years. However its only now in 2012 that cameras are finally starting to roll on a second movie, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.
With filming starting on Monday, THR also got news that Jaime King will be back in the Sin City world, while Jamie Chung has also joined the cast. King will play Wendy, twin sister of the prostitute Goldie she portrayed in the original. Chung meanwhile will take over from Devon Aoki as the sword-wielding Miho.
Mickey Rourke (Marv), Jessica Alba (Nancy), and Rosario Dawson (Gail) will all reprise their roles from Sin City. However there are apparently still many major roles left to be cast (as it’s all green screen, things can be shot separately, meaning it’s not as important all the cast is there when shooting starts), including Dwight, who was originally played by Clive Owen. Some have suggested the actor is returning, although Dwight undergoes facial reconstructive surgery in this story, and will look like a completely different man. Also yet to be cast is the gambler Johnny, and Ava, originally written for Angelina Jolie.
Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller are directing from a screenplay they co-wrote with William Monahan. A US release date of October 4th, 2013 has already been set.

Now that Michael Pitt has left Boardwalk Empire behind, he has more time for the type of indie projects he’s always loved. With the American Film Market coming up, it’s been announced he’s attached to a movie called Rob The Mob, which will be looking for buyers at the event.
Earlier this year George Clooney signed up to direct and star in Monuments Men, which at the time Sony was due to fully finance. However Sony has apparently realised that with Ghostbusters 3 now due to shoot next year, it’s rather over-committed on projects and so has gone to Fox and gotten them to split costs on the $50 million movie with them.
Last week it was revealed that Christopher Nolan’s longtime cinematographer, Wally Pfister, was planning his first movie as a director, and Johnny Depp is in talks to star. Now the 
MGM’s bankruptcy meant there was a four-year gap between Quantum of Solace and Skyfall, but the studio, along with partner Sony Pictures, is wasting no time getting the next James Bond movie in motion. Although Skyfall has only just opened in 25 markets (taking a stonking $77 million, which is incredibly impressive considering none of those markets was the US), has hired John Logan to write the screenplay for Bond 24, with an autumn 2014 release date already being targeted, according to
It was certainly a slow weekend at the US box office, with no new movie coming that really excited audiences. It allowed Argo, which has been showing strong legs, to top the box office on its third week of release. Ben Affleck’s film dropped only 24% from last weekend to add another $12 million, for a total of $60 million so far.
