Frank Miller – Jessica Alba’s Nancy Will Tie Sin City Films Together

Nancy Callahan

Honestly, if we had a nickel for every false-start Sin City 2 story we ran, we’d have…..five nickels. Anyway, with news that William Monaghan is now on board to get the script finished, we can only hope that the speculated shooting period of early 2012 will not prove to be another false dawn. Frank Miller [...]

Batman_Year_One

Warner Bros. have been producing animated movies of DC Comics’ most popular superheroes for a few years now, but for me they’ve always been rather hit and miss, with earlier original productions such as Mask of the Phantasm or Return of the Joker being far more enjoyable than adaptations of newer works such as Darwyn [...]

Sin City 2 Welcomes a Departed Arrival

William Monahan

Goodness me, the development of Sin City 2 has been going on forever. There was a time when its entry on IMDb showed “In Production” for a 2010 release, which I think we can all now agree is unrealistic. At Comic-Con in July, Rodriguez said that funding was in place and that shooting would begin [...]

First Look At Batman: Year One

Batman - Year One 1

This film has certainly been a long time coming. Back in 2000, news emerged that Warner Bros. had hired Darren Aronofsky to write and direct a Batman reboot, based on Frank Miller’s seminal Batman: Year One graphic novel. Aronofsky worked with Miller on getting a script drafted, loosely adapting Miller’s original material, but the project [...]

300 movie image Gerard Butler

Although Dawn of the Dead was a scintillating Hollywood debut for Zack Snyder, it was his adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel “300″ that really put him on the map. Filmed entirely against green screen (à la Sin City) and built with enough testosterone to power a city, it made a star of Gerard Butler [...]
