Sin City Trailer

FrankMillerFan wrote in to tell us that there is a Trailer for Sin City available on Apple's preview site. The film is being co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller himself. The video is kinda small but I gotta say that I'm pretty blown away- it really looks like they somehow took Miller's comic style and made it into a movie. High contrast, sometimes looks like line art, cool sparse use of color. This is a must-see trailer for any fan of the comic. Hopefully a higher-res version will be available soon.

Wow. Congratulations on a completely naive and ignorant post.

If you'd ever actually done any homework on the Sin City graphic novels the film is based on (Sin City renamed recently to The Hard Goodbye, A Dame To Kill For, The Big Fat Kill, That Yellow Bastard and The Customer Is Always Right), then you'd realize this is probably one of the best and detailed plots ever conceived in comics to be translated onto the big screen.

Frank Miller single-handedly turned around the comic Daredevil when he took over and has been won countless awards and prizes for both his art and his writing. Not to mention he's one of the most respected artists in his field.

They used a digital backlot because of Frank Miller's extremely stylized artwork, which was never intended to mimic reality. It's meant to create a specific 'film noir' atmosphere which is intensely more gritty than real life. Frank Miller's Sin City has always been drastically drawn for deliberate effect and it's unlikely that one could achieve that with conventional filming. Personally, I think this is the one film in a very long time that actually can *justify* the use of CGI and the digital backlot process.

So either take back your words, see the film and realize it's not what you think it is, or sit down, shut up and don't see the fucking film. I guarantee it will survive just fine without your ten dollars.
