First Trailer For SIN CITY 2: A DAME TO KILL FOR, Plus New Images And Screenshots



It's been nine years since the release of the first Sin City installment, and now we finally have trailer for it's sequel, which get's released this August. A Dame To Kill For looks the part, but will the four segments (including an original story created by Frank Miller for the film) live-up to the originals? As far we know, Quentin Tarantino isn't returning or hasn't been credited as one of the segment directors. Miller on the other hand is back, and considering his work on The Spirit, we should be a bit worried. Either way, Eva Green looks the part as Ava Lord and it's great to see Mickey Rourke back as Marv (a role that jump-started his career originally). I'm also interested in seeing what Joseph Gordon-Levitt brings to the table.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Joins SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR, Might Have Passed On GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY


Deadline reports that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper) is in final negotiations for a supporting role in Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. His character Johnny was newly created for the film and would be that of a smooth gambler. According to the site it was originally developed for Johnny Depp but it sounds like he passed on it. Along with confirming the return of Clive Owen and Bruce Willis. The film is currently in production and likely wouldn't conflict with JGL making Guardians of The Galaxy or Justice League as well. However, that doesn't stop the site from stating talks with Marvel for Guardians are over and the studio is considering other candidates. It's possible like with Godzilla, he could have passed on the role of Peter Quill entirely.


The site also mentions that Josh Brolin is being linked for another role in Sin City 2. Brolin previously had a villainous part in Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror.

Expect To See Danny Trejo In 'SIN CITY 2: A DAME TO KILL FOR'


Danny Trejo also stated to MovieHole that should have a role in Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For if Robert wants him in Machete 3. Now that Trejo is a franchise actor, Robert might have to adhere to his actor's demands. Trejo previously worked with Mickey Rourke on Once Upon A Time In Mexico so it would be awesome to see the pair share some screentime.

“I better....if [Rodriguez] wants to do Machete 3...In fact, you can go ahead and print ‘Robert, let’s get Trejo in Sin City 2′!”

Has Zoe Saldana Joined 'MACHETE KILLS'?


MovieHole has word from Machete himself Danny Trejo that Machete Kills has yet another lady joining the cast. He states that Zoe Saldana has joined the cast and he's going to have a bit of love scene with her. It's not hard to imagine Zoe joining the action junkie flick with roles in Colombiana, The Losers, Avatar and Star Trek 1-2.

“The sequel to Machete, Machete Kills is going to be a lot more over-the-top than Machete. We’ve got Sofia Vergara, who is a star in her own right, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, and Zoe Saldana – and guess what? I get to kiss all of ‘em.”

Antonio Banderas Will Have A Cameo In 'MACHETE KILLS'


During CinemaCon Spanish actor Antonio Banderas (Desperado, Haywire, Once Upon A Time In Mexico) spoke to MTV about whether or not he'd be joining the cast of Machete Kills. Antonio reveals he'll have a cameo while being coy about the role but he does confirm it won't be the return of El Mariachi. Banderas had a major breakout after starring in Robert Rodriguez's Desperado which lead to iconic roles like Zorro. The rest of the cast includes Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Mel Gibson, Amber Heard, Demian Bichir and Sofia Vergara which is starting to make it an action flick to excited for.


"I would love to. If Robert called me for anything, I would do it," he said. "I've done six movies with him, he was at the beginning of my career, so he came to my house and explained to me a little cameo over here as he explains things like a little kid."


"It's a new character," he elaborated, clarifying that he wouldn't be reprising his role as El Mariachi. "But I cannot talk about it because it's a very surprising character. If I do, I will completely jinx it, so I actually prefer [not to]. But it's very interesting. The whole thing is a progressive character during the whole entire movie, but my participation is only in one side of it."

Sofia Vergara Wanted To Play Mexican Madame In 'MACHETE KILLS'


Variety reports that Columbian actress Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) is the latest possible addition to Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills. Sofia could end up playing a leather-clad Madame Desdemona, whose Mexican harlots have info that Machete needs. I think it would be awesome to see Sofia playing a whore-house madame and could give her more exposure for her budding film career. The rest of the cast would include Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Mel Gibson, Amber Heard (Pineapple Express, Drive Angry) and Demian Bichir (Savages, A Better Life, Che).

Amber Head In Talks For Femme Fatale Role In 'MACHETE KILLS'


Variety is reporting that Robert Rodriguez has set his eyes on Amber Heard for a femme fatale role in Machete Kills. Amber would play a "manulipative assassin code-named Miss San Antonio" she joins Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jesscia Alba along with newcomers Mel Gibson and Demian Bichir (Che, Savages, A Better Life). Heard is an Austin, Texas native and has a connection with Rodriguez as she was rumored as a possible replacement (of Rose McGowan) in Robert's axed Red Sonja remake. No word if this part was meant for Michelle Williams or even Lindsay Lohan.

Demian Bichir In Talks For 'MACHETE KILLS'


It looks writer and director Robert Rodriguez is looking to pull out all the stops with Machete Kills. Variety reports that Oscar nominated actor Demian Bichir is in talks for a supporting role. The Mexican actor was nominated for Best Actor at the 2012 Oscars for his powerful performance in the film A Better Life. He might be best known for his role on Weeds but has also starred in films like Che and the upcoming Oliver Stone film Savages. Bichir's role is currently unknown but it wouldn't hurt to cast him in the second meaty villain role as murderous cartel head Mendez. Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba are returning with Mel Gibson set to play an arms dealing villain. Michelle Williams was also wanted for a supporting role but there's no word on the that development just yet.

'MACHETE KILLS' Plot Synopsis And Mel Gibson Confirmed As Villain


Variety confirms that Michelle Rodriguez will be returning for both Machete Kills and Fast Six. It's unknown if Michelle will be playing her original role. Knowing Robert Rodriguez he could end up creating a completely new character for her to play. Jessica Alba is also expected to return but there is no word on if Lindsay Lohan is coming back as well. Production starts this month in Austin, Texas so we should be hearing more casting news soon.

They also reveal the complete synopsis of the film which sees Machete recruited by the U.S. government to stop a terrorist named Mendez the Madman, who is Mexico's leading cartel dealer. Mel Gibson will be playing villain Luther Voz, a cunning arms dealer who aims to spread war across the globe by launching a missile from space. It will be interesting to see who they end up casting for the role of Mendez.

Mel Gibson Set For Role In 'MACHETE KILLS'


A new Deadline report clarifies an earlier casting scoop that Mel Gibson is wanted for a large role in Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills the sequel to Machete. There had been some confusion on which of the two budding projects (Sin City 2/Machete Kills) the writer/director wanted both Gibson and actress Michelle Williams for. Gibson has done some serious damage to his career in the last couple of years. Yet, stuff like this can blow over for an actor with the right role. I have to assume that Mel's new Mexico set action film Get The Gringo had something to do with getting the attention of Robert. Danny Trejo is back as the Mexican badass with Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez set to return as well. Machete is drafted by the U.S. government to track a cartel leader and an arms dealer who have a weapon in space.

Machete Kills Next For Robert Rodriguez

Deadline reports that the sequel to Machete titled Machete Kills will be going into production this April. Robert Rodriguez the first film's co-director isn't named as it's director but the assumption he'll be involved. This could kill any chances of Sin City 2 shooting this year. Danny Trejo will be returning as the lead with Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba likely back as well.


The new film finds Machete recruited by the U.S. Government for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man. Machete must battle his way through Mexico to take down a madman cartel leader and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war across the planet with a weapon in space. Machete takes on an army in an effort to dismantle a plan for global anarchy.

FIRST LOOK: Jessica Alba On The Set of Spy Kids 4

WWTDD has some set pictures from Robert Rodriguez's Spy Kids 4. While I can't say I've ever enjoyed Robert's Spy films this reboot could be interesting if done properly. I'm still shocked Rodriguez chose this unnecessary project when Deadpool or Sin City 2 could have been made instead. The pictures feature Jessica Alba in leather catsuit similar to one she wore in Dark Angel.

Jessica Alba & Joel McHale To Star In Spy Kids 4


Variety reports comedian Joel McHale (Informant, Spidey 2, Community) has been cast in Robert Rodriguez's Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World which is a reboot of the franchise. Joel will star alongside Jessica Alba (Sin City, Machete) in the film. While I'm not a fan of Robert's kids movies I'm interested to see what the vision for the new film will be.


There will also be appearances from the original actors Antonio Banderas, Daryl Sabara and Alexa Vega. I wouldn't be surprised to see more Rodriguez regulars added to the cast soon.
