Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame To Kill For (2014) D: Rodriguez/Miller
Now for the news that I'm sure most people will agree is absolutely great. Robert Rodriguez will be shooting back to back sequels for SIN CITY 2 and 3 starting February of next year for a release presumably summer of 2007. I guess the studio big wigs were satisfied with the commercial and critical appeal of the uber-cool SIN CITY that they jumped on the shooting back to back sequels bandwagon. Further, Rodriguez plans to start shooting a film titled CONAN for Warner Bros. after he's done with the sequels. We're not sure whether CONAN is the same sequel that's been in development for a few years now, Conan O'Brien's scintillating tell-all autobiography or something completely original.

I happen to like both Back to the Future films and I happen to love both Matrix sequels.

I don't think those films and their end results relate well to anything related to Sin City. As darqleo brought out, the stories are there and all that's needed is to adapt them with the same care and quality that was done for the first film.
BTW, i preffer Back to the Future III over Back to the Future II. I like the concept of the first sequel (and it's a whole lot of fun) but it began with too big an inconsistency with regards to Doc Brown's motives. This alone was reason for me to view it as the lesser of the two sequels.

While I for one enjoy the BTTF and Matrix sequels, even if you don't that's hardly a reason to say this will suck. First off, those movies have nothing to do with this one, and precendence means really little. Also, these films are already written, and aren't being built from the ground up after the first film. That reason alone is enough to say these films will kick ass as much as the first, simply because they'll be faithful adaptations like the first one.
I can't wait to see it.

Reloaded and Revolutions both suck though. I'm not trying to kill everyone's buzz, just saying that there isn't a good track record for back-to-back sequel filming schedules.

Not sure where they're going to find the source material, since 3 of the 7 books are already featured in one movie. I don't care for "Hell and Back" at all, although I think "A Dame To Kill For" would be pretty great on film.
Maybe Miller is doing some new graphic novels, which would be pretty darned cool and about time.

I too am wondering where he will get the material. He could do "Dame to Kill For" and "Family Values" but I don't see how adding "To Hell and Back" to the fray necessitates expanding it to two movies. My guess is he might do more of the "Booze, Broads, and Bullets" and shorts.

I'm not sure how they're going to get two more movies out of "Sin City."
All that's left are "Hell and Back," which is arguably the worst Sin City yarn, and some of the stuff in it might not translate well at all to film, "A Dame to Kill For," and "Family Values."
"Family Values" is kind of brief, and a pretty pedestrian story. "A Dame to Kill For" is one of the better Sin City tales, and the last book, "Booze Broads and Bullets" is just a collection of shorts, a lot of them very short.
I'm not really sure how this would work. "A Dame to Kill For" and "Family Values" are both Dwight stories, so I don't know if they'd work well in the same movie.
"Hell and Back" would probably combine well with "Booze Broads and Bullets" since a couple of the longer stories there feature Delia. (Also wonder if

in that one. The first movie kind of implied that they were the same character.)

just curious. What's the fallout of Rodriquez getting kicked out of DGA for putting Miller as a director? I don't know anything about the business part of movies. Is this a big deal?

That said, I don't think the Sin City sequels will fall victim to either of these problems, simply because of the way he's translating and filming these stories.
