Sin City 2 Script Completed

Jaime King, who is building a career off Frank Miller movies it seems, revealed to Mania.com that the legendary comic creator has actually finished the script to the long awaited sequel. She says:

"I was with him the other night," she said. "He just finished it. Sometimes studios are awesome because they have a great vision for something, but then they want to do weird things with the second one. Robert [Rodriguez] didn't want to go down that route ... none of the filmmakers or the actors were willing to sacrifice doing it any other way other than what we wanted to do it. I'm hoping we'll do it sometime this year. But you know how movies are."

This is good news. The original Sin City series, while not perfect, was a ton of fun and I'm anxiously awaiting the sequel. I'm not sure which of the books this one will cover, but if it's anything like the first it'll be a mish-mash, which is just fine with me. The only thing that worries me is that the big league disaster that The Spirit turned out to be will keep people away from this. I hope not. Frank Miller might have attempted to recapture the feel of Sin City in his stilted Spirit effort, but he failed miserably. There is a world of difference between the two films, visual similarities aside.
