Based Upon: (4/7/04) This movie is based upon the "Sin City" graphic novels by Frank Miller. In particular, the three stories that are being adapted are the original "Sin City," "The Babe Wore Red," and "Those Yellow Bastards."
Premise: Sin City is a violent city where the police department is as corrupt as the streets are deadly. In this movie, we follow three stories, the central of which is Marv, a tough-as-nails and nearly impossible to kill street fighter who goes on a rampage of vengeance when a beautiful woman, Goldie (King), he sleeps with for only one night is killed while lying in bed with him.
Filming: Production started on April 5th, 2004 in Austin, Texas. The production got its start when Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller shot the first scene of the movie, featuring Marley Shelton and Josh Hartnett, as a test to prove that they could capture (something like) the look of Miller's art on film.
Genre: Action, Based on a Book, Crime, Eye Candy
