“Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” New Image and Storyline

Josh Brolin is a great actor, great enough for his role in Jonah Hex to be forgiven and be blamed on bad script and directing 😉  Speaking of the man, here he is below on-set of the Sin City sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

The above picture shows Josh seated in a green screen room, steering wheel in hand. The desired or end result? The picture below highlights that:

Director Robert Rodriguez stated via tweeter that the above look is just a test footage for the rest of actors to get the visual look, feel and tone of the sequel. Ofcourse, if you’re familiar with the neo-noir style of Sin City, you know it’s not in any way a departure from the signature look of Sin City 😉

Another signature aspect of Sin City are the different storylines and character who somehow unknowingly cross each others’ paths. Here is a brief run though of the story lines to be expected in A Dame to Kill For, courtesy of Filmonic:

A Dame to Kill For

Dwight McCarthy (Josh Brolin) is called by his former lover, Ava Lord (Eva Green), who wants his help to escape her abusive husband, billionaire Damien Lord. However, Dwight soon learns that Ava’s true intentions are far more sinister than they appear.
