Robert Rodriguez's Sin City 2 has been in development for quite some time now, it has also been delayed numerous times. Not until recently has the poor box office return for Grindhouse come to blame. During an interview with Michael Madsen, he claims that a second trip to Sin City could be stuck on hold after the Grindhouse fiasco - but on one of the various casting websites we go to, the film is now listed and currently casting. I guess that'll kill that rumor pretty fast. But to read what Madsen has to say, read on. The film is about Dwight McCarthy planing to have his vengeance against the woman who betrayed him, Ava Lord, while Nancy is trying to cope with Hartigan's death.
Some of the other things that you have got coming up include Sin City 2.
MM: They haven't shot it yet. I don't know if they ever will. I am not sure [about] the franchise. I think the Grindhouse thing didn't kind of work out...
...as well as they had hoped. Certainly not in the States.
MM: I don't know what effect that is going to have on making Sin City 2. Sin City was Mickey [Rourke]'s film. Mickey is fucking incredible in that fucking movie. He is the movie. And I am happy for Mickey. Mickey is the real deal. Mickey is Mickey. And you can't fuck with that. And he did a tremendous job in that thing. The only reason I did it was because Robert Rodriguez said that if I took that little part I would get a bigger role in the sequel, that Bob would have more to do in the sequel. So I said: "Okay, fine." I am sitting on an apple box [in front of a green screen] and then when you see the movie, you're in a car. I don't understand it. I don't know how to do that. I don't get it.
Have you seen the script for Sin City 2 yet?
MM: No. I talk to Frank Miller quite often. He came up to my house and we drank a lot of tequila. Frank is pretty funny. I haven't seen the script for Sin City 2. I don't know if they are gonna make it. I hope they do. And if and when they do, I will be in it.
Sad that Grindhouse did poor. Guess it's true. American really is completely oblivious to quality. Here's hoping they still make Sin City 2. Don't make fans suffer because the mainstream crowd is too stupid to actually watch quality films.
The first was bad enough. Please to not make a sequel.
