It’s been a long seven years of rumours, speculation, and Robert Rodriguez getting other projects off he ground, but SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR has finally started filming. Cast members so far include Jaime King returning as Wendy and Jamie Chung taking over the role of Miho, originally played by Devon Aoki. There is no word yet on why Aoki is not returning, but with no acting credit since 2009 she may be giving her career a rest. Robert Rodriguez has just finished shooting MACHETE KILLS, and immediately jumped on board to join co-director, and the comic book’s creator, Frank Millar.
Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson are also returning to the their roles from the previous film. SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR will take a number of stories from the SIN CITY world as well as a completely new story written especially for the film.Mickey Rourke and Clive Owen are expected to return, but Owen may not play his character Dwight for the entire film. Dwight had plastic surgery before the events of SIN CITY and apparently looked completely different, so another big name actor may join Owen in the role.
There’s still no word on other casting decisions. Most fans will be waiting for the announcement of the one playing Ava. A role that was originally intended for Angelina Jolie, but those discussions were so long ago it is likely the part will go to somebody else. As it will probably all be shot on green-screen, don’t be expecting any set pictures soon. It’s about darn time this sequel got up and running, and I can’t wait to see the results.
