Director Robert Rodriguez spoke with DVD Fanatic last night about his upcoming "Sin City: Recut - Extended - Unrated" DVD and talked about what's next for him and the franchise:
What's the current status of the "Sin City" sequel? "Frank Miller is busy adding on to the storyline of 'Dame to Kill For'. That would be the next Sin City movie. As for a TV Series, i think that was just Miramax talk - we havent' discussed actually doing that".
Has anyone been cast? "No new casting news yet, once Frank has the script we'll be able to see what all new people are in it and then have the fun of putting faces to characters".
Why chose the "Dame to Kill For" story for the sequel? "What I like about DAME TO KILL FOR is that it has a lot of characters from SIN CITY in it... Marv is still alive, Dwight doesnt have his new face yet, Gail is in it, Goldie AND Wendy are in it as twin sisters... Miho... new characters as well. it felt like if we could expand on that story and make it bigger overall, that'd be our best choice for a sequel"
As for his "Grindhouse" project with Tarantino, he says "We officially start end of January, but I sometimes get ahead of myself and start shooting stuff anyway. I had some actors come down and we shot three days of tests that will end up being in the movie. Quentin is very into it".
