Eva Green (Casino Royale) has joined the cast as the Dame (Ava Lord) in Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. After much speculation and a much earlier (years earlier) rumor that the role would go to Angelina Jolie, Eva Green has been selected for the titular role. Filming is already underway in Texas in Rodriguez's personal film studio and some of the cast have even filmed all their scenes. Because the entire film is shot on a green screen, Rodriguez will shoot the film piecemeal, as the actors and actresses schedule allows and then stitch everything together in post. More than a few of the cast have revealed that they've shot scenes opposite a tennis ball.
Frank Miller is serving as co-director, in keeping with the previous film. Green is also part of another Miller project, the 300 prequel/sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire.
In a press release, Rodrigeuz and Miller stated, “Ava Lord is one of the most deadly and fascinating residents of Sin City. From the start, we knew that the actor would need to be able to embody the multifaceted characteristics of this femme fatale and we found that in Eva Green."
In all probability, this rounds out a star studded cast that includes Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Josh Brolin, Christopher Meloni, Jamie Chung, Jeremy Piven, Ray Liotta, Roasrio Dawson, Juno Temple, and Julia Garner.
