April 1st, 2005. First things first, read the Sin City books by Frank Miller. Appreciate the style of such a tale, the gritty black and white drawings, the highlights and images in monotone. See how perfect everything looks. Now compare this to scenes from the trailer and Comicon trailer, see how perfectly they compliment each other, see how perfectly the comic portrayals are brought to life. Now, look at who is producing and directing - firstly Frank Miller, the soul behind the whole thing is directing along side Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. At this point I am thinking, "this will be awesome". NOW look at the cast list:Jessica Alba .... Nancy Callahan
Rosario Dawson .... Gail
Elijah Wood .... Kevin
Bruce Willis .... John Hartigan
Benicio Del Toro .... Jack Rafferty
Carla Gugino .... Lucille
Josh Hartnett .... The Salesman
Michael Madsen .... Bob
Jaime King .... Goldie/Wendy
Brittany Murphy .... Shellie
Clive Owen .... Dwight
Mickey Rourke .... Marv
Nick Stahl .... Junior/Yellow Bastard
Now, on top of this each of these A-list actors looks exactly like the character they play, it's uncanny. If you've read the comics you'll know that Elijah Wood as the psychotic Kevin is an absolutely PERFECT casting. I need to see this film.
