Sin City 2 going elsewhere?

FofR — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 07:20:37 +0000

Sin City 2 movie rights are today being shopped around Hollywood, report THR. It appears that Dimension Films (The Weinstein Co./Dimension) may have eventually lost rights to the property; although they do still maintain they have the rights on the sequel. This is countered by producers that have ‘shopped for’ the rights to Sin City through representatives — they are actively seeking a new space to set up the Sin City sequel.

This may have come through inactivity and ‘languished development’.

The The Weinstein Co. attorney maintains:

“TWC’s rights to produce sequels to ‘Sin City’ remain intact as they always have been.”

According to Clint Morris and a high profile producer friend, Angelina Jolie is in serious talks about appearing in the Sin City sequel. Jolie originally spoke about a possible involvement in Sin City 2 back in 2006 (see our casting rumors from 08). However it now seems that production has stepped up a level and the filmmakers are actively looking for Jolie to officially commit to the project.

Rumor has it that Angelina Jolie is inline to play Ava Lord, the female star of ‘A Dame to Kill For’.

The rights for the movie have recently come into question, and maybe this little palaver has sprung the Weinsteins into action to ensure they don’t.

This one throws a bit of a spanner in the works, as recently as last week Mickey Rourke suggested he would be on board for the Sin City sequel, based on “A Dame to Kill for”. However, at The Wrestler press junket his words were not so keen,

“No, I’m not interested in that right now. That’s not a reality right now. It’s pissing in the wind,” Rourke admitted. “There’s different factions going different directions there. I don’t know. That’s three hours of make up and I’m claustrophobic, so I’m going to have to work something out.”
