Robert Rodriguez has dropped a few more hints about ‘Sin City 2′, including some storyline details and a confirmation it will definitely be made.

Rumors have been swirling for quite some time about whether or not “Sin City 2″ would ever be made – the questions were mostly about whether anyone wanted to finance it, but it always seemed to me that a sequel was inevitable – surely strong and repeat DVD and Blu-ray sales worldwide make the franchise attractive still. But nonetheless, it would not be the easiest sequel to bring about considering the number of popular actors involved, the production challenges, and licensing costs/terms. Not to worry though, because Director Robert Rodriguez recently spoke very positively about the film to IGN:

“People have been talking about Sin City 2 since the first one came out,” Rodriguez said. “Whenever I’m out and about, people say, ‘When’s Sin City 2 coming? When’s Sin City 2 coming?’ They’ve been asking that for years. So this probably will add to that, certainly.”

He mentioned that there are a few other commitments he has to meet before getting to work on the film but added, “I actually had a phone call with some of the players in it today, but I was on a plane so I missed it,” he said. “So next week we’re going to talk about it some more and get a timing on when we’d be doing it. But there’s a lot of people who are interested in it. … We are definitely going to do that one“

Rodriguez also said in the interview that he hoped the film could start filming as early as next year. Regarding the plot of the sequel, Rodriguez said that it will include “A Dame to Kill For”, to feature Rosario Dawson heavily in one of the original Sin City stories, as well as new additional material written by Frank Miller. More of Rosario and new material from Frank? We’re already sold.

Rodriguez continued “There’s a lot of stories. That was sort of the approach I took to it. That’s why there’s three stories in the [first] movie, because I thought, ‘I love this material, but gosh, what happens if it’s not successful and I don’t get to make a part two and part three. I still want to see “The Big Fat Kill” and “That Yellow Bastard.”‘ So I wanted to put them all in one movie so I could at least get some of these stories out of my system. But there’s still so many books and so many stories to do.”
