We spoke to Frank Miller this morning at The Spirit junket, and couldn't resist asking him about the sequel to one of our favourite films of the last five years, Sin City.

Much to our delight, the response was encouraging, with the writer-turned-director saying that Sin City 2 might be ready to shoot early next year.

"Sin City 2 is written," he proclaimed. "It's mainly a matter of working out the details of the production. I'm hoping to do it with Robert Rodriguez again in the same circumstances that we did the first one, and we could be shooting as soon as April."

He wouldn't be drawn on the nature of the plot or which A-listers would return for the shoot, but the thought of Sin City 2 hitting cinemas before the end of next year makes us all tingly in our special place.


Cinematical adds that Mickey Rourke merely told MTV that he was ready (to shoot the sequel). Way back in July, Robert Rodriguez smiled coyly and said he was "reassessing," being focused on a fall project that never was revealed.

UPDATE:Rosario Dawson confirmed to IESB.net the April start date talked about for SIN CITY 2. She said that the script is done and they are all set to go. She will reprise her role of Gail.

However,at the junket for Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler,Mickey Rourke told ComingSoon.net/Superhero Hype that he's not interested in reprising his role.

"No, I'm not interested in that right now. That's not a reality right now. It's pissing in the wind," Rourke admitted. "There's different factions going different directions there. I don't know. That's three hours of make up and I'm claustrophobic, so I'm going to have to work something out."
