drqshadow Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 That scene in the rain was unfreakingbelievable. This movie is either going to kick all kinds of ass or really, really disappoint me. They've gotta be careful with that bizarre, outlandish makeup and special effects direction. I think it can work, and I really like all the effort they went through to keep it loyal to the look and feel of the comic, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarrik Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 By the way, in case anyone is curious, the music used in the Trailer is called Cells by The Servant. Not a bad piece of music, though I wish there was an instrumental version to download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Maverick Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 So all of a sudden this is coming out in June in the UK? What the hell is up with that? I thought it was originally heading our way on April 22nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I am still in awe of how incredible the movie was. Mickey Rourke IS Marv. It's like he was born to play that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was hands down the best of the three major storylines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 From IGN: For Sin City, which is about to hit theaters on April 1, Rodriguez already has some exciting new features planned for that DVD. We spoke with Rodriguez at the Four Seasons this past weekend and he gave some details on the upcoming Sin City DVD. Sin City is based on three graphic novels by Frank Miller (who also co-directed the project). For the feature film, Rodriguez and Miller tied the three books together so that they could flow together as one movie. For the DVD, however, viewers will have the option of watching the whole film together or watching each book separately as they appeared in the novels, complete with new footage. "We shot the full stories of the books," Rodriguez says. "And I knew we could truncate it down, we weren't going to lose any scenes. Eventually they would all be available for people to see. The DVD will come out with the theatrical cut, and then there will be a separate disc that's got the individual episodes separate with their own title card and you could just watch The Big Fat Kill from beginning to end in its full cut as a single story and then switch over and watch The Yellow Bastard, and that's 45 minutes. It will have all the material back in, so it will be like the experience of picking up the books where you pick up one story and you read it from beginning to end and it will have all the material in it. So you can kind of shuffle your own version of the movie and just watch them all separately." The stories will feature additional scenes that will be familiar to fans of the graphic novels. "There were some things we had cut out from [Yellow Bastard] just to pace it for a feature because they weren't supposed to be three stories put together when he first wrote them, they were all separate books. So [there were] things to sort of pace it for a feature and keep it on a through line… Mickey Rourke doesn't go visit his mom now like he did in the book and get his gun, but we shot all that and it's all great stuff. It just wasn't necessary for the feature. You wanted to be more direct in that. It's not gonna feel like, when you watch that separate disc with this material back in like, 'Oh, I can see why that was cut.' They are really terrific scenes, action scenes, a lot of stuff that people will find. I think it's going to be somewhat revolutionary to see those scenes that were cut out [to] be put back in another format, because they seem perfectly fine and they work, they just needed to be taken out for the long haul of a feature." Rodriguez says that planning for this feature ahead of time gave them an extra freedom during production. "It really gives it another life and another experience more akin to reading the books by doing that. That's what made it easier for us to say, 'Lets just shoot everything, prepare all the effects, and then if we edit stuff out, we're not really cutting it out and people are never going to see it. They'll be able to see it in a purer form in a different format." The separate stories will be available together with the theatrical feature in one set. "Yes, in a package and then I'm gonna have another 10 minute, it'll be a 20 minute film school probably for this one because there's so many things. And I'll have another 10 minute cooking school. It will be Sin City breakfast tacos. (Laughs) We'll show you how to make a homemade flour tortilla and the best meal you can probably ever learn."

I never said it was bad, in fact I like it, I just felt it would have slowed down the fast pace of that segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Look for the DVD on August 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 The DVD will feature four alternate covers, one for each storyline. (Kinda odd that they have one planned for "The Customer's Always Right" segment. I mean, it was so short.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Big bump: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will release "Sin City: Unrated, Recut, and Extended" to Blu-ray Disc on April 21st. The two disc set will feature both the theatrical and recut versions of the film in stunning 1080p AVC accompanied by a lossless audio soundtrack. All of the extras from the previous Recut DVD release AND two new features exclusive to Blu-ray - The "Kill 'Em Good" interactive comic book and a Cine Explore visual commentary. http://www.superherohype.com/news/sincitynews.php?id=8038 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I rewatched this on Saturday and it remains brilliant. For whatever reason, I don't feel any compulsion towards watching a recut version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Kinda odd that they have one planned for "The Customer's Always Right" segment. I mean, it was so short.) Its significant though. It was the experimental shoot that made the rest of the film possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
