Empire Online talked with Clive Owen recently who revealed a bunch about his involvement in Robert Rodriguez's "Sin City" comic adaptation. Owen plays the role of Dwight in the segment "The Big Fat Kill". Dwight is a hard-nosed former photojournalist who gets sucked into his old ass-kicking ways when he gets involved with the Mob and an undercover cop.
Owen stars alongside Benicio Del Toro, Rosario Dawson and Brittany Murphy in his segments and confirmed Quentin Tarantino was involved in filming some of his segment - "Yeah, Tarantino came in for a couple of days to shoot a whole sequence with me and Benicio, so it was a really enjoyable job".
The film, much like this Fall's "Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow", is shot entirely against green screen to allow "Rodriguez to best capture Miller's singular visual style". Of the process, Owen says "The world is going to be put in afterwards, the backdrops. The most striking thing about that movie is how incredibly faithful to the books it is. Frame by frame he's recreating Miller's graphic novels and if there's bubbles on the panel, then we say the dialogue. It's that faithful...on the whole all those serious graphic novel geeks that love Sin City will come and be blown away".
Thanks to 'Jim'.
