Robert Rodriguez announced
earlier in a facebook livechat that Sin City 2 would be
the follow-up film after Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World. There has been a lot of speculation on Rodriguez's next move but it looks like Deadpool will not be it.
Earlier
last week we reported Rosario Dawson’s complaints
regarding the next time she
would be fitting into “the outfit that fits in
one hand” for reprising her role as the prostitute Gail for the
Sin City sequel. ”Frank Miller and I are working on it,”
Rodriguez said, with one caveat.”It’s slated to be the next one, but if
the script is not ready, then we’ll have to move to the next one,” he said,
not elaborating on what that the other “next one“ would be.
However, asked in the chat later about the Mexico-set sci-fi film: Nervewrackers he
said that project is “still going to happen,” though he did not put a
timeframe on it. Though Bruce Willis’ character Hartigan
did (spoiler) die at the end of the original Sin City film, Rodriguez
said he hopes to bring the character and actor back. “I wanna bring him back
for Sin City because he’s so bad-ass.”
And as for using the Hell and Back storyline
from Sin City, the part of Wallace, an artist/war hero/short order cook
who saves a suicidal woman named Esther was once rumored to be written
specifically for Johnny Depp, the filmmaker said, “It’s quite
possible.” Frank Miller once said this storyline would be use for a
proposed Sin City 3, but that was back in 2007 when
he thought the Sin City 2 script was ready to go. Clearly he was getting
ahead of himself if Rodriguez still thinks the Sin City 2 script
still needs work.
While this is surely going to get fans hopes up, remember the
“if” in Rodriguez’s answer and note the director generally has a
number of projects at his disposal, so if one isn’t ready [like Sin City 2]
another always awaits nearby. Spy Kids 4 is currently shooting in Austin, Texas
and stars Jessica Alba.
