The long-awaited "Sin City 2" will finally begin production in the second half of 2010, to be followed by a possible adaptation of Frank Miller’s "Hard Boiled."

According to a report on Mania, “Sin City 2” producer Stephen L'Heureux confirmed that the story will be based upon an original script by Miller, who will once again co-direct the sequel with Robert Rodriguez .

Additionally, L'Heureux revealed that Miller is writing the screenplay adaptation for “Hard Boiled”, which Miller is also attached to direct. Read more...

Back in 2007, Gerard Butler broke through with "300" and seemed like he had the chops, physique and charm to become some kind of a modern Sean Connery-meets-Clint Eastwood type. Sure enough, Hollywood jumped on the Butler train immediately and signed him for everything from the "Untouchables" prequel to "Gamer" to romantic flicks like “P.S. I Love You” and “The Ugly Truth.”

With apologies to my wife–who seems to think “P.S. I Love You” is the most touching piece of film this side of our child’s birth video–I miss the Frank Miller-Gerard Butler tandem. So, when we caught up with the super-busy star recently, we had to ask: Is he ever going to work with the graphic novel legend again?

“I could see myself working with Frank again,” explained the "Law Abiding Citizen" star. “But, I don’t know. Graphic novels are things that I wouldn’t do a lot of, so I would have to really choose carefully before I did.” Read more...

For those keeping score at home, director Zack Snyder has been saying for years that he’d love to direct a movie based on “The Dark Knight Returns,” Frank Miller’s now-classic tale of an older Batman returning from retirement to take down Harvey Dent and a violent gang called “The Mutants.” The two biggest problems with this, obviously, are that a world-class filmmaker now runs the Batman franchise, and it’s hard to imagine anyone else but Christian Bale playing Batman.

So, what’s the solution for the “Watchmen” filmmaker? Wait it out.

“Frank’s ‘Dark Knight’ is a 50-year-old Batman,” explained Snyder, who we caught up with at Comic-Con while he was promoting his dazzling new “Watchmen” Director’s Cut on Blu-Ray. “The reality is that Batman, as a franchise at Warner Brothers, is doing pretty good; people have heard of it.” Read more...

Now that “300” is coming out with a super-duper, bells-and-whistles “Complete Experience” Blu-Ray disc on the 21st, it’s had me thinking about the first few times I saw the movie. Like many, I went in not knowing what to expect and came out in awe of Zack Snyder’s flick. And, like many, I’m a bit nervous about the news that Snyder, Frank Miller and their team are willing to revisit the Spartans -- but hoping I’ll once again be awestruck.

“Frank’s working on something,” revealed producer Mark Canton when I caught up with him recently, telling me that he’s onboard to return for Snyder’s “300” sequel. “That, Zack has said.” Read more...

In addition to writing a few new "Sin City" stories for "Sin City 2," Frank Miller is also hard at work on a new tale for the sequel to "300."

Director Zack Snyder teased in an April MTV interview that there was a way to continue the franchise, and Miller previously claimed that he would set his new script after "300" during the Greco-Persian Wars and featuring "some of the same characters." Now, Snyder indicates that Miller may be moving along and re-visiting Greece to do research as he completes the graphic novel that will become the "300" sequel. Read more...

In the more than four years since Frank Miller's "Sin City" hit theaters, fans have been treated to everything from warring Spartans in "300," to cartoonish crime fighting in "The Spirit." However, if director Robert Rodriguez has his way fans could finally catch "A Dame To Kill For," as well as something entirely new from the mind of Miller in "Sin City 2."

In an interview with IGN, Rodriguez described the interest surrounding the sequel and revealed the film is, indeed, moving forward -- once everyone involved can make time for it. Read more...

Oh, and if you're looking for even more of Eisner's hero, remember that the adventures of "The Spirit" continue in comic form every month, folks!

Planning to pick up "The Spirit"? What do you think of the alternate ending? Sound off in the comment section!

Three years ago, “300” Spartans dined in hell -- and judging by the more than $200 million the film grossed domestically, a lot of fans found their meal to be quite delicious. But -- spoiler alert! -- since almost everyone died at the end, can there ever be a sequel? And if so, would director Zack Snyder be interested in getting behind the camera?

With one simple word, Snyder addressed all of the above: “Sure,” he grinned.

About a year ago, news broke that Frank Miller was developing a “300” quasi-sequel. Snyder, who was in Las Vegas this week to pick up a Director of the Year award at ShoWest, revealed that he has indeed heard Miller’s idea for a graphic novel about the events that followed the key battle of “300” -- and he likes it.

Not even a month after “Sin City” star Michael Clarke Duncan told us he hadn’t heard a peep about "Sin City 2", the plot thickens. Now, Rosario Dawson, the straight-talking star who once strapped herself into black leather to play the role of gang gal Gail says that she’s leaving room open on her 2009 calendar for the long-awaited sequel.

“Yeah, I talked to Robert [Rodriguez] and Frank [Miller],” she said of a recent conversation with the director and writer who joined forces with Quentin Tarantino for the hit 2005 film. “They actually just finished the script for ‘Sin City 2’ a few months ago.” Read more...

What happens when Charles M. Schulz's "Peanuts" meets Frank Miller's "Sin City"? The answer is a story fans aren't likely to see in Miller's "Sin City 2" film. In fact, it might require a few visits to Lucy's psychiatrist booth.

Created by deviantART member Ninjaink, the humorous two-page story "That Yellow Shirted Such-And-Such" (a nod to the "Sin City" story "That Yellow Bastard") blends Schulz's insightful wit with Miller's signature grit. A hulking Marv-like Charlie Brown's introspection has descended into full-on brooding, Linus' philosophical nature is replaced with smug bravado and Sally's stubbornness is redefined by an adult sexuality. (Check out a sample of the story after the jump.) Read more...
