Rodriguez drops hints about Sin City 2…and 3!

IGN – – March 27, 2007 – Having put the finishing touches on Grindhouse, genre filmmaker Robert Rodriguez is shifting gears to his next project, the sequel to Frank Miller’s Sin City. Miller has already written the screenplay and things may get officially underway as early as this summer.

The second installment in the series will be based on A Dame to Kill For, and rumor has it that Angelina Jolie may star. Furthermore, it’s possible that Miller and Rodriguez could immediately follow the second movie in the series with Sin City 3.

In a recent conversation with MTV, Rodriguez hinted that Sin City 3 will center around the Hell and Back storyline, which focuses on a character named Wallace who is drugged and experiences hallucinations throughout the film. And it just so happens that Rodriguez has a big name actor in mind for the role who has some experience with on-screen hallucinations: none other than Johnny Depp. There are no deals in place but Rodriguez tells MTV that he’s confident that Depp would take the part.

Rodriguez also dropped the name of another thesp he’s worked with in the past: Antonio Banderas. Rodriguez says he showed him a sample of his work and the actor immediately offered to “do anything” in the project. “I’ll be the hunchback,” Rodriguez quotes him as saying.
