Can't wait for this movie. I didn't think I could get more excited once I found out one of my favorite actors Clive Owen was cast in it, but Alba as a stripper.
This will be my Kill Bill of 2005.

I'm pretty sure James King is also in it, although I've never seen her in a movie before. I'm also pretty sure that Mario Bello is in it with a big part & that dude from Terminator 3 as well, I don't know his name, but he kind of sucks.

How much longer do we have to wait for this? I want me some Jessica Alba...like now.
And the rest of the cast looks pretty damn good, too.

Not to diss, but if this is being done in the way Sky Captain is being done then there is some need to worry, I saw the unreleased trailer for Sky Captain that had alot of footage of regular scenes with fake backgrounds and it looked VERY fake, they blur it up and use Black and WHite to cover it up but it looks very bad. I think its more an insult to Miller's work in Sin City to break it down that it basically only works as a black and white picture, therefore the need to use this process. I hope im proven wrong.

According to the reports I've read, Robert Rodriguez actually filmed one of Miller's short "Sin City" stories (from the "Booze, Broads, and Bullets" book) on spec and sent it to Frank Miller. Miller actually liked what he saw, and has allowed Rodriguez to go ahead with a full motion picture.
Considering that Miller was impressed with an unsolicited short sent to him, I'd say that that's definitely a big plus in RR's favor here.

FWIW, the footage didn't show much of anything. A bunch of people in front of a green screen, nothing else. If the movie actually IS a bunch of people in front of an ACTUAL green screen w/ET people babbling away the whole time, then I'll agree that it will most likely suck.

^^^ True. It's to early to say it will be good or it will suck. But it's not to early to say that Alba looks smoking.

I saw about 10 minutes of straight footage from this at the ComicCon with Miller and Rodriguez hosting it and WOW!
This looks like one of the coolest things I'm ever going to see. If you hate comics or movies that try a new look (and succeed brilliantly) then maybe your going to the wrong source for entertainment.
There was a scene with Marv (Mickey Roarke in facial prosthetics) and his trademark bandages in extremely stark white on black. A scene with the Dirty Yellow Bastard (Nick Stahl in heavy make-up) screming threats and gouting bright yellow blood from his throat. A scene with the girl squad in the alley (which Tarantino is the guest director on). Many other quick scenes and all were completely out of the comic.
They used the comic books as the shooting script and went frame by frame. Rodriguez wouldn't even let Miller change it saying, "You already inked it!"
Everybody around me was freaked out at how good the footage was. Another cool thing is: There are three chapters representing three mini series in the comic. If anything has to be cut for content or time, Rodriguez said that the DVD will have an option to play each story arc as it's own movie with all the footage that was intended.
I AM THERE!!!

Oh Man! I'm sorry.
We actually got in just before they screened it because they let the Sky Captain line in while the panel was in progress. The longest line I've ever been in, but it moved fast once it started.
The line went down the sidewalk, into the courtyard on the side and spiraled around like a nautilus by the time we got in it.
Believe me. This is going to be something you'll enjoy.
Rodriguez was asking people not to tape it (They would have shut it down if anyone was caught) and he said this: "...This is going to be on the internet in three weeks anyway.".

Damn, I wish I could have seen that. Sounds nice. 
Can't wait to check it out. 
I'm a big fan of the comic, and it certainly sounds like they're doing this right.
