And last night, Rodriguez delighted the legions of Sin City fans by finally confirming the return of Bruce Willis (A Good Day to Die Hard), who is set to reprise his role as ageing cop Hartigan from the first movie, despite his apparent death/suicide. "Just Another Saturday Night" – the story of what Mickey Rourke's Marv got up to while Hartigan was busy with Nancy in "That Yellow Bastard" – is presumably how he is resurrected in the sequel.
As recently as last week, we reported the additions of Juno Temple (Killer Joe, The Dark Knight Rises), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) and Jeremy Piven (TV’s Mr Selfridge) to the ever-growing cast. Rodriguez confirmed that all had shot their scenes, in addition to one of the introduction scenes, and that he would shoot each piece of the remaining parts of the movie as and when the actors become available. In addition, he confirmed that the movie will be shot in 3D using the latest technology Alexa Cameras.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For also stars Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler), Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four), Rosario Dawson (Trance), Jaime King (My Bloody Valentine), Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs), Dennis Haysbert (24), Josh Brolin (Gangster Squad), Jamie Chung (The Man with the Iron Fists), Alexa Vega (Machete Kills), Chris Meloni (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper). The film is due for release on October 4th.
