SIN CITY 2 No Longer Belongs to The Weinstein Co.

Ranted: April 8, 09 * Comments(4) - By drvenkman

The latest update on the Sin City  sequel is that the Weinstein Company has lost the rights to the property. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? The Weinstein’s aren’t doing to hot right now so in my opinion I thing them losing the rights will increase the chances of the film actually being done, and marketed properly. They went from being a great a dynamic film team to the guys that mismanage their films. The movie ‘Fanboys’ is a perfect example.

As you know by now Frank Miller has come out and talked about the film and that a script is currently being worked on. There is no work yet on whether or not Robert Rodriguez will be back to direct the film. If for some reason he does not do it, I hope to high hell anyone other than Frank Miller directs it.

Rodriguez’s Trouble Maker Studio’s is still on to produce the film.But it is now being financed by a private equity group. No word yet on who will distribute the film but IESB throws out Universal Pictures as a possible contender.

I loved the first Sin City flick it was a badass fun movie. I am looking forward to the sequel. Are you?

    I am with you on this. Weinstein co. is kind of in the weeds it seems. They pick up great films and then run them into obscurity. They haven’t even finished a script yet, so there’s still some time to figure out who’s actually gonna shoot the thing.

    Frank Miller, as great of a comic book creator as this guy is, needs to stick to his pencils and papers. Let someone like Rodriguez handle the directing- go ahead and be a “co-director” (read: creative consultant) but let the real directors do their thing. I think Rodriguez directing is critical to the success of the film.

    I think it needs to get made soon! Seems like a strange situation all round.

    Agree that Rodriguez needs to be involved – not sure in what capaciy though.

    I’m honestly at the point where I don’t even think there will ever be a sin city 2
