On a recent promo tour for the Recut, Extended and Unrated Sin City DVD, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Frank Miller and Greg Nicotero talked about the upcoming sequel.
"One of the ideas we had was to do A Dame to Kill for Next." Rodridguez stated. "We also didn't want people to read the book and know what was going to happen. So Frank is coming up with some new stuff, that will be intertwined in that and some other storylines that he has always wanted to do. So I was like, 'Lets do it as part of A Dame to Kill For, then if you want to make it a separate book you can always do that.' That's what's been really exciting... he's only been teasing me about what that is so I don't even know. But the new things he's told me are really exciting."
Rodriguez added: "As soon as we have it, we can start shooting because it's on greenscreen. He would have drawings with it and we could start shooting pretty much a few weeks later. As soon as Frank's done and we're done with Grindhouse [a joint film project with Tarantino] we could go right into it."
Will there be new characters? "There are so many actors we want to work with actually, but we were like, 'We don't have a part for this actor [Frank] has to create one.' We can't reveal anything that takes all the fun out of it."
"Also, three weeks from now I'll change my mind and I'll feel like a complete idiot." Miller added.
"Is Quentin gonna be involved in the next Sin City?" Rodriguez asked.
"I'm waiting for these guys to invite me," Tarantino said.
"Over my dead body," Miller claimed.
"He might have to do two scenes for that one," Rodriguez laughed.
Look for Sin City 2 next year.
