TracyJOHNNY DEPP AND BANDERAS IN SIN CITY
March 27th 2007 19:34
Sounds good, doesn't it? I mean Sin City might not be the most commercial movie but it's artful and daring in a bloody way. I know many people who literally felt ill or even puked because of its raw material.
But still. It's popular and great in its own little way. That's probably also the reason Depp and Antonio Banderas want to get involved with it.
They say Banderas is so impressed by the film, he'll play whatever part in Sin City 2. Johnny Depp wanted to play Benicio Del Toro's character in the first one, but it never became due to schedule, so Rodriguez has a better part for him in Sin City 3. Here's an excerpt from Robert Rodriguez's interview with VH1:
[Johnny Depp] was interested in doing the Jackie Boy character that Benicio played, but he was doing that movie Libertine in Europe and it just kept getting pushed and delayed and went right through our shooting schedule. But there is a better role for him in [Sin City 3, based upon Hell and Back]. I kept going, 'Gosh, Jackie Boy is a small part, he could be really good [as Wallace].' When he wasn't available, I thought maybe it was meant to be.
When I showed [Antonio Banderas] the first sample of the work, he went, 'Man I'll do anything in that. I'll be the hunchback. You have to bring me onboard, that looks amazing. So Frank met him that time too and he said, 'I have got to find something for that guy. I've never met him before. He's amazing.' [We're] looking at the cast of characters and to see where he can fit.

Yea, Sin City was revolutionary and got a lot of attention.
I liked 300 more though.
However, I have high expectations in the sequel. Let's see how good it keeps the quality of the first. I want it to be better, something rare when it comes to sequels.
Cya,
