One of the great things about
Joe Carnahan is that he runs his own
blog, so he can keep us up to date on everything about his films, something I wish a lot of directors would do. Another good thing about him though is that he is a film fan at heart. Do you remember his
rant at America for not seeing Grindhouse, and telling us that "we will all pay the price" when the movie fails? Well he's back again, this time with his film fan hat on... to tell us about the
Sin City 2 mock-up trailer he has apparently been shown by
Robert Rodriguez...
Robert Rodriguez stopped by the office yesterday and showed me what may become the teaser for SIN CITY 2 and HOLY SH*T is it something. I dont want to let any cats out of any bags, so all I can say is theres not a hetero male moviegoer alive thats not going to deeply DIG that spot...Remember, hes doing A Dame To Kill For and brother has he got it. That guys enthusiasm for filmmaking is infectious too. A solid bloke and a good soul.
Carnahan may have seen anything ranging from a full mock-up scene to a rushly made trailer but we all know how quick Rodriguez works so I'm betting on a full scene. Remember that roof-top scene at the beginning of
Sin City with
Josh Hartnett? That was shot in a day with his green screen and digital photography many months before he even had rights to film the material he was shooting... and of course legend has it that said scene convinced
Frank Miller to do the film. We keep hearing rumblings about production beginning in June, but we have heard nothing official yet.
