Sin City

It looks like Robert Rodriguez has decided to take a break from making dumb kids movies. He's back in true form with an adaptation of Frank Miller's Sin City. Miller also has director credit for the movie -- which is very cool. For those who don't know Frank Miller, a little reminder. He's the man credited with bringing the serious Batman back to the screen with his hard hitting Dark Knight series. He did the same with Daredevil and Elektra, and breathed life into a number of other characters from both Marvel and DC. Sin City was his own creation, published by Dark Horse a while back -- and if you have the originals, expect them to fetch quite a few dollars when the movie hits theatres in April 2005. The trailer, available on Apple's site, gives a glimpse of the movie -- the style remains true to Miller's original -- little use of colour; hardcore action; and a little retro. I'm looking forward to this one.
