New TV Spot ‘Sin City: A Dame To Kill For’

Comic-book movies have mostly focused on the superhero world as of late, but in the early 2000s Hollywood was taking bigger chances on darker and more independent comics such as ROAD TO PERDITION, GHOST WORLD and arguably the biggest of the bunch, Frank Miller’s SIN CITY. As a twisted anthology of noir tales set in the fictional Basin City, it gave us a cruel and violent world which brought the comic to life via the use of excessive green screen, allowing director’s Miller and Robert Rodriguez to stunningly recreate the graphic novels.

This latest TV spot seems to try and convince us of a more heroic feel with the line “When outlaws become heroes.” The big stars of the original’s impressive cast return with  few changes, the late Michael Clarke Duncan and the pregnant Devon Aoki are absent while Michael Madsen and Clive Owen have been replaced by Jeremy Piven and Josh Brolin respectively. Owen’s recasting is down to the character having undergone plastic surgery before the events of the first film, which this is a prequel to.

SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR is released 22nd August in the US and 25th August in the UK. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva Green, Jessica Alba, Juno Temple, Mickey Rourke, Josh Brolin, Rosario Dawson, Jamie Chung, Jeremy Piven, Bruce Willis, and Jaime King.
