Sin City 2 is a proposed sequel to Sin City. Miller said in early 2007 it would be based on A Dame to Kill For.[15]
Production on the film has been delayed, mostly due to Rodriguez's involvement with a scheduled remake of Barbarella.[16]
Actress Rosario Dawson, who played Gail in Sin City, said in March 2006 that Rodriguez "has been interested in Angelina Jolie for the lead".[17] A subsequent article that month said vaguely that Jolie, Salma Hayek and Rose McGowan have "been tipped to play" the role.[18]
Miller in November 2007 said without explaining that delays in producing Sin City 2 would lead to a Sin City 3 as well,[19] with Rodriguez saying the third film would adapt Miller's "Hell and Back" story featuring the character Wallace. Recent rumours indicate that Johnny Depp will play the lead.[19]
Miller has confirmed that he and Rodriguez have completed a script.[20] On September 19, 2008, Frank Miller stated that he and Rodriguez are very close to beginning production. In a December 4, 2008 interview with IGN UK, Miller stated that, pending details of production, he and director Robert Rodriguez could begin shooting "as soon as April".[21] Dawson confirmed Miller's news of an April start as well as her reprisal of Gail.[22] Rourke has confirmed that he is starring as Marv in the sequel.[23]
On January 30, 2009, MTV News reported that the script is indeed finished and will shoot sometime in 2009.[24]
On April 7, 2009 it was reported that The Weinstein Company has lost the rights to the sequel. Weinstein Company lawyer Bert Fields quickly denied this report, saying "TWC's rights to produce sequels to Sin City remain intact as they always have been. Any suggestion to the contrary is complete hogwash
