'Watchmen' Author Alan Moore Reacts To Frank Miller's Occupy Slam

Posted 12/5/11 10:19 am EST by Josh Wigler in News

"Sin City" and "300" creator Frank Miller caused quite the stir last month with his controversial remarks towards the Occupy movement, describing protestors as "nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists" who "can do nothing but harm America."

Alan Moore, on the other hand, has quite the different outlook. It should be no surprise to people familiar with the "Watchmen" and "V For Vendetta" author's work that Moore's position on Occupy is drastically different from Miller's, and in an interview with Honest Publishing, Moore made those differences quite clear.

Robert Rodriguez Opens Up On 'Sin City 2,' William Monahan Rewrites

Posted 12/2/11 10:29 am EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in Dark Horse, News

If you follow the little news that trickles out from time to time on "Sin City 2," you've probably gotten used to hearing the same things. Robert Rodriguez says the script is halfway done, then Frank Miller says the script is halfway done. Robert Rodriguez says it's almost done, then Frank Miller says it's almost done and that he hates Occupy Wall Street. Things have become cyclical.

The one piece of news from that camp that offered any new or different information came down the line back in August. The Academy Award-winning screenwriter behind "The Departed," William Monahan, was going to take a crack at the screenplay.

Up until that point, the project had been very much the child of Rodriguez and Frank Miller. Adding Monahan to the mix was simultaneously unexpected and perhaps a sign of hope that progress was actually being made.

Indiewire spoke with Rodriguez while he was promoting the DVD for "Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World" and asked the director where the project stands and what Monahan had to do with the script.

'300' Creator Frank Miller Slams Occupy Wall Street

Posted 11/14/11 12:10 pm EST by Josh Wigler in News

Frank Miller

Frank Miller, the creator of "300" and "Sin City," is not pleased with the Occupy Wall Street movement. The "Sin City" co-director, already no stranger to controversy, unleashed a strongly-worded attack against the Occupy protestors over the weekend, describing them as "nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists."

"These clowns can do nothing but harm America," Miller wrote in a heated blog post. "This is no popular uprising. This is garbage. And goodness knows they’re spewing their garbage – both politically and physically – every which way they can find."

Sin City 2

There's been talk about a "Sin City 2" for years now, with the back and forth dialogue focusing on partially written scripts and delays. But at New York Comic Con, the creator of the comics and co-director Frank Miller told MTV Geek that he and Robert Rodriguez were polishing up the script to potentially begin production soon.

"Robert Rodriguez and I are finishing up the script on 'Sin City' right now and could be shooting as early as this spring," Miller says. His comments line up with what Rodriguez said earlier this year.

Hugh Jackman On The Prowl For New 'Wolverine' Director

Posted 3/30/11 3:31 pm EST by Chris Arrant in Marvel, News

After the departure of Darren Aronofsky from the director's chair of the upcoming "The Wolverine", fans have been scrambling to come up with names of who could replace the award-winning director. And as it turns out, so is the film's star, Hugh Jackman.

"We need to find another director and once we've found that, we'll be able to know," Jackman told ComingSoon.Net during the CinemaCon event for theater owners. As to whether the devastation caused by the recent earthquake and resulting tsunami would have an effect on the film's schedule, he said it was "too early to call."

"I'm not sure where they're at, so now we're finding another director, but Fox is very anxious to make the movie and we're moving ahead full steam to find another director," he explained. Read More...

Who Should Direct 'The Wolverine' Now? Here Are Five Suggestions...

Posted 3/21/11 6:28 pm EST by Rick Marshall in Hot Stuff, Lists, Marvel

Now that Darren Aronofsky is no longer directing "The Wolverine," the field is wide open for another filmmaker interested in tackling Logan's second solo adventure.

Way back in September 2010, before Aronofsky was confirmed for the gig, we suggested five directors we thought would be good for the project (he was one of them). In the months that since, we've learned more about the film and, well... let's just say it's time to revise our list.

After much debate around Splash Page HQ, we've come up with a list of five filmmakers we'd like to see behind the camera when Wolverine heads to Japan. Read More...

'Sin City 2' Will Pay Tribute To Brittany Murphy, says Rosario Dawson

Posted 10/28/10 12:14 pm EST by Kara Warner in Dark Horse

At this point in the "Sin City 2" news cycle, it's not too much of a stretch to say that we've heard it all before. Robert Rodriguez can't wait to start! All the cast members are ready to go! Etc., etc. Still, we have hope! And it doesn't stop us asking key participants like Rosario Dawson what they've heard about a possible start date.

"I have not heard very much except that Robert [Rodriguez] is still insistent that we’re going to make it and we’re going to make sure to put something in there for Brittany [Murphy] to recognize her," the "Unstoppable" actress revealed. "Unfortunately it’s been so long now and she’s not with us anymore and she was a huge integral part to that first film, it would be important to do that." Read More...

Full Frank Miller Gucci Ad Hits The 'Net!

Posted 8/23/10 6:44 pm EST by Rick Marshall in News

Gucci Guilty Last week, I pointed you to a teaser for Gucci's upcoming ad for their new "Guilty" fragrance. Just in case you missed it and you're wondering why I'd be interested in Gucci and/or their fragrances, here's the kicker: the ad is directed by Frank Miller and features "Captain America" star Chris Evans and "True Blood" actress Evan Rachel Wood.

Even though the ad gets its broadcast premiere during MTV's 2010 Video Music Awards on September 12, the full video appears to be online now. And while it doesn't offer much more in the way of story, it does offer more of Miller's iconic, noir-tinged, black-and-white visuals with well-placed splashes of color.

Oh, and it also features both Evans and Wood in various stages of undress and, well... passionate activity. Read More...

Robert Rodriguez Wants 3-D For 'Sin City 2,' Recalls Fond Comic-Con Memories

Posted 7/23/10 5:16 pm EST by Brian Warmoth in Dark Horse, News

Robert Rodriguez surely has many more San Diego Comic-Con memories left to be made in his career, perhaps even one or two involving a Deadpool movie. The "Machete" director made a trip to Comic-Con International this year for for a film that's turning into a comic book, rather than vice versa, but "Sin City" holds a special place in his heart to this day when it comes to landmark events at the show.

"Probably the first treasured memory is my first big presentation — was coming here with a piece no one had seen that I had cut together myself comparing the footage to the comic of 'Sin City' and showing that to an audience and telling the whole story of how we did it and making these little mini-posters out of our own studio that we had our actors sign," Rodriguez told MTV News, "and that iconic Jessica Alba one was the one that was then selling the next week on eBay for hundreds and hundreds of dollars."
