After seven years of promising a sequel to Sin City, the live action adaptation of the Frank Miller comic, Robert Rodriguez recently announced that the long-awaited follow-up has finally moved from film festival talking point to actual film production. Since then, news of returning cast members (see below), as well as a few fresh faces, has been released from the Rodriguez camp.

After news broke that Robert Rodriguez was inexplicably filming Machete Kills, a sequel to 2010’s Machete (itself a spin-off from a Grindhouse pseudo-trailer), the question became: who will show up to star in this thing? A random cavalcade of stars showed up for the last one (Robert De Niro, Don Johnson, Lindsay Lohan); so far, Machete Kills has nabbed returning stars Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba, as well as good decision maker Mel Gibson. And now, the latest name added to the roster is Amber Heard.

A sequel to 2005’s Sin City has been rumored and in discussion for so long it’s become a kind of urban legend—the kind of thing that people always talk about (especially director Robert Rodriquez and Sin City creator Frank Miller), but everyone knows would never really happen. Well, that appears to no longer be the case, as Dimension Films has sent out an official press release declaring that Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is officially in pre-production.

At this year’s San Diego Comic Con, the large ballrooms, typically reserved for panels discussing TV programs, have been outrageously overcrowded, with lines leading people almost a mile away from the convention center itself. Meanwhile, the cavernous Hall H, used to draw in big crowds for large studio announcements, has been surprisingly accessible, and sometimes even sparsely attended. I’m certainly not complaining, because while 25,000 people stand out in the sun hoping to make it into a 4,000 person room and catch a glimpse of the cast from Big Bang Theory, we got to hear indie auteur Robert Rodriguez make a handful of announcements about his future, in a shockingly intimate setting. See what Rodriguez had to say, after the jump…

At the end of the new Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World trailer, it says the film will be in 4-D. What does this mean for audiences? Often considered spacetime by nerds, it can also be odors in the theatrical business. Does that mean we will be able to smell Jessica Alba and Joel McHale‘s cooking, or Jeremy Piven‘s bad guy cologne? Likely it’s just a marketing gimmick, as the film is in 3-D, so perhaps the film will not open a wormhole for every screening. Robert Rodriguez returns for the fourth entry in this decade-old franchise, and now there’s a trailer. Check it out.

Los Angeles Laker star Kobe Bryant has had an eventful few days. Not only did he participate in the annual NBA All-Star Game, but he became the first athlete to have his hand and footprints immortalized at the world famous Grauman’s Chinese Theater. If that wasn’t enough, he also starred in a short film called The Black Mamba, which was directed by Robert Rodriguez. Bryant plays the title character, who goes up against his fair share of adversaries including Bruce Willis and Danny Trejo. Oh yeah, and Kanye West is in it too! Watch the movie below…

Machete is an old school, grind house action flick with guns, knives, and a strong political undertone. The last description doesn’t really fit but that didn’t stop Robert Rodriguez from using this trailer turned film to vocalize his disdain for U.S. immigration policies. The filmmaker has a huge bone to pick but instead of addressing Congress, he’s taking his argument to the theater!
Check out the review…

Last June, we got word that Robert Rodriguez was offered the directing job for Fox’s upcoming Deadpool spin-off.

There’s been a new behind the scenes development that has Rodriguez inching closer to a deal with the studio according to a report from The LA Times’ 24 Frames.
