No matter how much we want to see "Sin City 2" begin production, we're not quite sure if it's ever going to happen. Like chasing a carrot on a stick, we've been looking for official word on the "Sin City" sequel for a while now, but it always seems to remain tantalizingly out of reach.

During the Toronto International Film Festival, MTV News tracked down "Sin City" actor Clive Owen (in town to promote his new film "The Boys Are Back") to find out whether he thinks the project is ever going to happen—or if Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez' follow-up could indeed be just over the horizon.

Though she’s not sure when the film will move forward, actress Alexis Bledel has been told that the script for “Sin City 2” is complete and that this one is going to be a prequel, at least as far as her character is concerned.

“Someone told us yesterday that there’s a script,” Bledel's “Post Grad” co-star Zach Gilford told MTV News during a chat with the pair.

“I don’t know what their source was,” added Alexis, “but they said they read the second script. ... Apparently, [I’m] back because it’s a prequel. Because [I’m] supposed to die in the first one. But you don’t see it, so maybe she doesn’t.” 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."

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...

While promoting her upcoming film "Post Grad", Alexis Bledel confirmed with MTV News that she'll be returning to her decidedly darker role of Old Town prostitute Becky as soon as "Sin City 2" finally gets off the ground.

While Alexis is certain that her character will be back, no one at all seems certain about when, exactly, the completed script might begin production.

“I don’t know who knows when…” Bledel told MTV News, “…but they keep saying they’re going to shoot it. Hopefully very soon.” Read more...

Just when you thought it was dead -- or at least a long ways away -- the long-awaited "Sin City 2” has reared its ugly head. But if you believe this latest rumor, the rough-and-gruff tough-guy ensemble is about to get a whole lot prettier.
