Sin City: This movie looks sweet! Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/sin_city/


The cast includes: Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Elijah Wood, Josh hartnett, Mickey Rourke, Alexis Bledel, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, and Michael Clarke Duncan. I'm not entirely sure what to make of the "quest director: Quentin Tarantino" bit but most of the stuff he's been associated with has been pretty good.

Suffering from ads?

As long as this isnīt another Rodriguez/Tarantino crap fest like "From Dusk to Dawn" Iīll be happy. Itīll be Frank Millers first directing job also, hope he can handle it.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Quentin Tarantino usually delivers in whatever he touches, and when he delivers, he delivers it, BIG TIME.

Bruce Willis is like a force multiplier. Casting Bruce Willis is like having Michael Schumacher on your F1 team. Even he can lose, but in the long run, he's the most kick ass guy you can have. Here is to Bruce Willis, a bald guy who made it big

Generally, a sweet lineup of casting, no doubt, 'cept Jessica Alba ( I don't like her, for some reason, but I like her in the trailer so it's a toss up ).

I will be looking forward to this.

Put an end to popups!

I'm not a big fan of the comics, but if Tarantino is directing, it should be entertaining. While I liked Frank Miller's Dark Knight work, mostly his work is a subtle (or not so subtle) homage to fascism.

Yah, that trailer's been around for awhile. Looks great, though I'd never even heard of the comic it's allegedly based on.

Um. Never read Mr. Miller, but a quick Google of "Frank Miller fascism" apparently yields links to people thinking Miller is anti-fascist as well- his superheroes fight the evil government, corporations, and so on in anarchist style. Are you certain he wasn't showing you fascism to discredit it, a la some war movies are really anti-war movies in disguise? Beats me if any of this has validity having not actually read him, but...

Edit: Having asked a friend who actually did read The Dark Knight Returns, it seems that Batman, by imposing his will on others through violence, is also something of a fascist. So a fascist fighting the fascists in a big fascist stew, maybe.

Fascists are quite big about complaining about corruption (though they governments were even more corrupt than the ones that they replaced). Governments are corrupt and unable to protect people from predatory corporations. The people are weak and need a superman to defend them from the capitalists and politicians.

I think I remember the comics from when I used to read them. The camerawork/colouring/directing certainly seems to strike a chord in my memory. I think I remember seeing another trailer around somewhere...a short clip about 'the rat' or something. I love original looking directing so Im looking forward to seing how this works out!
