As I reported last week, the longtime in coming sequel to Sin City is finally moving forward. Principal photography is set to start after Robert Rodriguez films Machete Kills and now actors from the first film are starting to jump on board.
According to MTV, Academy Award nominee (The Wrestler) Mickey Rourke will return as the hard drinking, hard living thug Marv. Additionally, Rosario Dawson will resume her role as bad-ass prostitute Gail. Rodriguez reports that both actors are "excited" and "pumped" to do the next film.
As for Clive Owen he's anxious to come back as Dwight but hasn't fully committed yet. While promoting his new film Intruder, Owen told MTV "....of course I would be interested in doing it--but I really don't know what the state of it is." Owen did however say he had a "fantastic" time doing the original Sin City which he also described as "groundbreaking."
My expectation is that Owen will eventually join the film. My only concern is what some of these actors will expect in terms of money. Both Rourke and Owen's stock have risen since 2005 and I'm wondering if their individual pay days may in fact affect the film's budget.
If all goes well Sin City: A Dame to Kill For will begin filming later this year.
