Everyone who enjoyed the 2006 film 300, let out a big “Why?!” Rumors have been swirling for years that a sequel to the movie that made Gerard Butler a star would hit the screen sometime soon. According to the Los Angeles Times, comic author Frank Miller has been working on another movie, but it’s a prequel. He’s formulated the story, and already has a title for the film.
Similar to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, director Sylvain White has also been bitten by the comic book bug. How do you go from Stomp the Yard to The Losers, over to Ronin? I’m not talking about the Robert De Niro drama from the nineties, but the Frank Miller comic. According to Superherohype, White has his eye on the property and wants to adapt it for the big screen. Here’s an update on the film’s status as well as some back story on the title character.
Sin City reminds me of an absentee parent who always promises to come around but never does. Ever since the original film was released in 2005 there’s been talk of a sequel. Fast forward to four years later and we still don’t have one. Fans have been waiting patiently to no avail, but director Robert Rodriguez continues to reassure the public that the movie is “on it’s way.” According to Screenrant, Rodriguez gave a recent interview where he exclusively discussed the progress of Sin City 2.
Sin City 2 has been on the back burner for a few years, but lately there have been hints of progression. We heard that Frank Miller has finished the second draft of the screenplay, via co-stars Rosario Dawson and Jamie King, and the production could start anytime from this spring to next year. The biggest casting rumor that’s been surrounding the film concerns Academy Award winning actress, Angelina Jolie. She has been “attached” to star in the movie for a while, but she’s never commented on any definite involvement. Yet, as of late the developing sequel has been gaining momentum, and Jolie’s name has once again popped up as it’s possible star.
The Spirit will be hitting theaters Christmas Day. The film has already been receiving a lot of slack for it’s cheese factor. Although one thing is for damn sure. Frank Miller wanted some damn fine ladies to play the roles in the film and he sure as hell got them.
Check out this little clip of all The Spirit’s women…
After the first Spirit trailer came out (view here), I got a bit worried. It’s nice to mix action with cheesy, but there’s a fine line that not everyone can walk. The new trailer is more like a music video with action, than an action movie with music. It’s not often that the second trailer is shorter than the first, but hey! It’s better!
Check out the trailer for Frank Miller’s new film The Spirit starring Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johansson below and tell us what you think…

Horror legend Wes Craven swept the “Scream Mastermind Award” for his contribution to the world of horror. The late Heath Ledger was also honored as he took away “Best Fantasy Actor” and “Best Villain.”
