Sin City Trailer. Movie coming out April 1st....Looks pretty cool! Can't Post
This movie is coming out on April 1st to a theater near you. From the trailer it looks like the whole movie will be in B&W with some color passes and multiple color passes. The trailer looks pretty good and there are many big names in this movie so I think it will be the next trip to the theater for me.

From what I've heard most of this movie was shot in front of a blue screen.

it's mostly shot in front of a blue screen and in digital.
it's an adaptation of a comic book series called Sin City by Frank Miller. The comic book was very innovative for the time not only because of the gitty content and narative style, but also because the artistic style. It was done in black and white with negative space and some color highlights.
It's actually a bunch of short stories and the movie is gonna a combination of 4 stories.

Robert Rodriguez (a total Sin City fan boy) did it in collaboration with Frank Miller (billed as co-director) and they made it a point to stay extremely true to the comic book. I watched one of the short stories (named The Customer is Always Right) at a convention last year and it looked excellent! But I'm watching it from a comic book fan perspective and how it translated to the big screen, so I'm not sure how the masses would take this... but I'm totally looking forward to it.

Link is mangled, here's the fix: http://www.apple.com/...rs/miramax/sin_city/

I'm not much of a comic book fanboy, but I hafta admit that I wet myself when I saw the trailer. I was kinda hoping they would release an updated trailer by now though. *crosses fingers*

Look closely at Jesicca Alba's shoulder on one of the closeups (as I'm sure you already were, lol)...see the "star-glint" from her skin. Interesting effect. Also, the title shot of Alexis Bledel...check out the almost imperceptible steely blue eyes. Very cool, very understated. I likey. And how about Elijah Wood with what looks like a bit-part? Could be a fun ride, this one.

I agree it looks like it will be an awesome film if for nothing else than the editing and the eye candyWink

VERY COOL ... Can't Wait

I think I might try using the eye technique in a video.

Pretty cool. Similar to "Sky Captain" in it's technique.

With Mickey Rourke's make-up, he sorta looks like one lean and mean Jay Leno.Tongue
