Soon production was under way with Miller wanting to be as involved with the project as possible (this "proof of concept" adaptation was later used as the opening scene for the completed film).

Digital backlot

This is one of the first films (along with Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Casshern, and Immortel (Ad Vitam)) to be shot primarily on a digital backlot. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a 2004 American Pulp adventure, Science fiction film written and directed by Kerry is a 2004 Japanese Tokusatsu Superhero Film adaptation of the anime series of the same name. Immortal (French Immortel (ad vitam) is a 2004 English language, but French -produced Science fiction film Digital backlot (also known as a virtual backlot) is a term used to describe motion picture sets that have neither The film employed the use of the Sony HDC-950 high-definition digital camera, having the actors work in front of a green screen, that allowed for the artificial backgrounds (as well as some major foreground elements, such as cars) to be added later during the post-production stage. Sony 's CineAlta 24P HD ( high definition video) Cameras are a series of professional digital video cameras that offer many of the same features Many compact digital still cameras can record Sound and moving Video as well as still Photograph.

They were:

  1. Kadie's Bar, where all of the major characters make an appearance at least once and also the only location in which all objects are in color.
  2. Shellie's apartment. The front door and kitchen are real, while bathroom and corridors are artificial.
  3. The hospital corridor in the epilogue. Although the first shot of walking feet was done on greenscreen, the corridor in the next shot is real. The background becomes artificial again when the interior of the elevator is shown.

While the use of a green screen has become quite standard for special effects filming, the use of high-definition digital cameras is quite noteworthy in the production of this film. The combination of these two techniques makes Sin City (along with Sky Captain, which was produced the same way) one of the few fully digital, live-action motion pictures. This technique also means that the whole film was initially shot in full color, and was converted back to high-quality black-and-white. Black-and-white is a number of Monochrome forms in Visual arts. Colorization is used on certain subjects in a scene, such as Devon Aoki's red-and-blue clothing, Alexis Bledel's blue eyes and red blood, Michael Clarke Duncan's golden eye, Rutger Hauer's grey eyes, Jamie King's red dress and blonde hair, Clive Owen's red Converse shoes, Mickey Rourke's red blood, Marley Shelton's green eyes, red dress, and red lips, Nick Stahl's yellow face and body, and Elijah Wood's white glasses. Film colorization is any process that involves adding Color to Black and white, sepia or monochrome moving-picture images The film was color-corrected digitally and, as in film noir tradition, treated for heightened contrast so as to more clearly separate blacks and whites. Film noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize moral ambiguity and sexual motivation This was done not only to give the film a more film-noir look, but also to make it appear more like the original comic. This technique was used again on another Frank Miller adaptation, 300, which was shot on film.

Principal shooting

Principal photography began on March 29, 2004. WikipediaNFCC#10c --> Shot-for-shot (or shot-for-shot adaptation, shot-for-shot Events 1461 - Wars of the Roses: Battle of Towton - Edward of York defeats Queen Margaret to become King "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " Several of the scenes were shot before every actor was currently signed-on; as a result, several stand-ins were used before the actual actors were digitally added into the film during post-production. [2] Rodriguez, an aficionado of cinematic technology, has used similar techniques in the past. In critic Roger Ebert's review of the film,[3] he recalled Rodriguez's speech during production of Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams: "This is the future! You don't wait six hours for a scene to be lighted. Roger Joseph Ebert (iːbɝt born June 18, 1942) is an American film critic and Screenwriter. Spy Kids 2 Island Of Lost Dreams is a 2002 family-oriented Spy film that includes Science fantasy elements You want a light over here, you grab a light and put it over here. You want a nuclear submarine, you make one out of thin air and put your characters into it. "

The film was noted throughout production for Rodriguez's plan to stay faithful to the source material, unlike most other comic-book adaptations. Rodriguez stated that he considered the film to be "less of an adaptation than a translation". [2] As a result, there is no screenwriting in the credits; simply "Based on the graphic novels by Frank Miller". There were several minor changes, such as dialogue trimming, new colorized objects, removal of some nudity, slightly edited violence and minor deleted scenes. A full list of differences can be viewed here. These scenes were later added in the release of the Sin City Collectors DVD, which also split the books into the 4 separate stories.

Credits

Three directors received credit for Sin City: Miller, Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino—the latter for directing one scene in the film—a rather sprawling number for a film budgeted at just $40 million. Quentin Jerome Tarantino (born March 27, 1963) is an Academy Award - BAFTA Award - and Palme d'Or -winning Emmy - and Miller and Rodriguez were very much a team as far as directing the rest of the film. Despite having no previous directorial background, Miller was greatly involved in the direction of the film, providing direction to the actors on their motivations and what they needed to bring to each scene. Because of this (and the fact that Miller's original novels were used as storyboards), Rodriguez felt that they should both be credited as directors on the film.

When the Directors Guild of America refused to allow two directors that were not an established team to be credited (especially since Miller had never directed before), Rodriguez first planned to give Miller full credit. Directors Guild of America ( DGA) is the labor union which represents the interests of film and television directors in the United States Miller would not accept this, as he certainly could not have done it without Rodriguez. Rodriguez, also refusing to take full credit, decided to resign from the Guild so that the joint credit could remain.

Reception

The film opened on April 1, 2005 to largely positive reviews, receiving a 77% "Certified Fresh" rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Events 527 - Byzantine Emperor Justin I names his nephew Justinian I as co-ruler and successor to the throne Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Rotten Tomatoes is a Website devoted to reviews information and news of Movies. Roger Ebert awarded the film four stars, describing it as "a visualization of the pulp noir imagination, uncompromising and extreme. Roger Joseph Ebert (iːbɝt born June 18, 1942) is an American film critic and Screenwriter. Yes, and brilliant. "[3] Online critical reaction was particularly strong: James Berardinelli placed the film on his list of the ten best films of 2005. James Berardinelli (born September 1967 is an Online Film critic. [4][5] Several critics including Ebert compared the film favorably to other comic book adaptations, particularly Batman[6] and Hulk. Batman is a 1989 Superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. See also Hulk (video game Hulk (also known as The Hulk) is a 2003 Superhero film based on the fictional [7] Critic Chauncey Mabe of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel wrote, "Really, there will be no reason for anyone to make a comic-book film ever again. The South Florida Sun Sentinel, owned by the Tribune Company, is the main daily Newspaper of Fort Lauderdale Florida, U Miller and Rodriguez have pushed the form as far as it can possibly go. "[8]

There were, however, several reviews predominately focused on the nature of the film and its perceived lack of "humanity". William Arnold of the Seattle-Post Intelligencer described it as a celebration of "helpless people being tortured. . . I kept thinking of those clean-cut young American guards at Abu Ghraib. That is exactly the mentality Rodriguez is celebrating here. Sin City is their movie. "[9] Meanwhile, other critics focused on especially negative elements: "a comic strip adaptation, [it] includes scenes depicting castration, murder, torture, decapitation, rape and misogyny. "[10]

New York Times critic Manohla Dargis claimed that the directors' "commitment to absolute unreality and the absence of the human factor" made it "hard to get pulled into the story on any level other than the visceral". Manohla Dargis (born April 1961 is one of the chief Film critics for The New York Times. Credit is given for Rodriguez's "scrupulous care and obvious love for its genre influences" but Dargis notes "it's a shame the movie is kind of a bore" where the private experience of reading a graphic novel does not translate, stating that "the problem is, this is his private experience, not ours". [11]

In a more lighthearted piece focusing on the progression of movies and the origins of Sin City, fellow Times critic A. O. Scott, identifying Who Framed Roger Rabbit as its chief cinematic predecessor, argued that "Something is missing – something human. Anthony O "Tony" Scott (born July 10, 1966) is an American Journalist and Critic. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 Live-action/animated film produced by Amblin Entertainment and The Walt Disney Company (released Don't let the movies fool you: Roger Rabbit was guilty," with regards to the increasing use of digitisation within movies to replace the human elements. He applauds the fact Rodriguez "has rendered a gorgeous world of silvery shadows that updates the expressionist cinematography of postwar noir" but bemoans that several elements of "old film noirs has been digitally broomed away", resulting instead in a movie that "offers sensation without feeling, death without grief, sin without guilt and, ultimately, novelty without surprise". [12]

Sin City grossed $29. 1 million on its opening weekend, defeating fellow opener Beauty Shop by more than twice its opening take. Beauty Shop is a 2005 Comedy film, directed by Bille Woodruff. However, the film saw a sharp decline in its second weekend, dropping over fifty percent. Ultimately, the film ended its North American run with a gross of $74. 1 million against its $40 million negative cost. The Negative Cost is the term for the cost of actually producing and shooting a Film. Overseas, the film grossed $84. 6 million, for a worldwide total from theater receipts of $158. 7 million.

Sin City 2 is the currently unproduced sequel to Sin City. Frank Miller (born January 27, 1957) is an American Writer, Artist and Film director best known for his dark Robert Anthony Rodriguez (born June 20 1968 is an American director, writer, producer, Cinematographer, editor and Musician Dimension Films is a motion picture unit currently a part of The Weinstein Company. The Weinstein Company is an independent American Film studio founded by Harvey and Bob Weinstein in 2005 after the pair left The United States of America —commonly referred to as the English is a West Germanic language originating in England and is the First language for most people in the United Kingdom, the United States A sequel is a work in Literature, Film, or other media that portrays events following those of a previous work Although specific plot details remain unknown, it is generally believed the film will be based on Miller's A Dame to Kill For, certain stories from "Booze, Broads and Bullets" and an original story involving Nancy Callahan. A Dame to Kill For is the second Sin City story and the first Sin City story to have its own comic These are the individual stories usually referred to as "yarns" set in Frank Miller's Sin City universe Nancy Callahan is a Fictional character from the Graphic novel series Sin City, created by Frank Miller. [13]

Production on the film has been delayed, most notably due to Robert Rodriguez's involvement with a scheduled remake of Barbarella. Robert Anthony Rodriguez (born June 20 1968 is an American director, writer, producer, Cinematographer, editor and Musician Barbarella is a 1968 erotic sci-fi film directed by Roger Vadim and based on the French Barbarella comics [14] There is also speculation that the box office failure of Grindhouse has caused the film to be delayed. Grindhouse is a 2007 Film co-written produced and directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.

Even though the events confirmed for this film take place before certain events of the first film (allowing deceased characters such as Marv, Manute, and Goldie to return), they take place after the death of Hartigan, who will most likely not return. Detective John Hartigan is a major protagonist in the Sin City series of Graphic novels written by Frank Miller. Bruce Willis has confirmed that he will not be involved in this film, but he has stated that he would love to reprise the role, if Frank Miller were to write some new Hartigan material for a subsequent sequel. Walter Bruce Willis (March 19 1955 is an American actor and Singer-songwriter. It is unknown whether Becky (Alexis Bledel) or The Salesman / The Colonel (Josh Hartnett) will return to reprise their roles for this film. Kimberly Alexis Bledel (born September 16 1981 is an American actress and former fashion model Joshua Daniel Hartnett (born July 21, 1978) is an American Actor. Miller has stated that they will do "a couple of 'Blue-Eyes' stories, and the character The Colonel is featured in all of them; the return of Josh Hartnett for the role of The Salesman / The Colonel depends on whether the characters are the same in the movie-continuum as they are in the comics. The use of "Blue-Eyes" may also be due to the possibility that the third film will consist primarily or entirely of Hell and Back, which features her as an important character. These are the individual stories usually referred to as "yarns" set in Frank Miller's Sin City universe

Angelina Jolie was said to be Rodriguez's first choice in the role of Ava Lord, so much so that he was delaying production to correspond with her pregnancy, according to Rosario Dawson,[15] but a subsequent article stated there are three rumored frontrunners for the role of Ava: Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, and Rose McGowan. Angelina Jolie (born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4 1975 is an American film actor Ava Lord is a fictional character in Frank Miller 's Sin City universe, the title character in the graphic novel A Dame To Kill Rosario Dawson (born May 9 1979 is an American Actress and Singer. Salma Hayek Jiménez (born September 2, 1966) is a Mexican and American Rose Arianna McGowan (born September 5 1973) is an Italian -born American actress best known for her role as Paige Matthews in The WB [16] Frank Miller himself confirmed that he and Rodriguez were interested in having Jolie as Ava, and that the director was discussing the possibility with her. [17] Jolie later discussed in an article that she read the comic and planned to meet with the director when the movie was planned to be made. However, after this she reported that she would be having a year out of work in 2008 to spend more time with her family and partner Brad Pitt. William Bradley "Brad" Pitt Pitt received a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination for his role in the 1995 film Twelve Monkeys Therefore, it was very unlikely that she would be available for Sin City 2. Following this it was reported that Angelina Jolie has been replaced by Rachel Weisz as the front runner to play Ava in Sin City 2. Rachel Hannah Weisz ( "vice" born 7 March, in 1970 or 1971 is an Academy Award -winning English [18]

Antonio Banderas and Johnny Depp have also been rumored to star in the role of Wallace. José Antonio Domínguez Banderas (born August 10, 1960) better known as Antonio Banderas, is a Spanish film Actor and Singer John Wallace is the Protagonist of Hell and Back, the longest of the Sin City yarns written by Frank Miller. Depp has been rumored to star not only in Sin City 2, but in Sin City 3 as well. [19] According to Rodriguez, the role of Wallace was written with Depp in mind. [20]

Frank Miller has confirmed that he and Robert Rodriguez have completed a script, but while at the 2007 Comic-Con, he blamed the Weinstein brothers for the delay. Comic-Con International San Diego, commonly known as Comic-Con or the San Diego Comic-Con, is an annual multigenre Fan convention founded as the Golden [21]
