The Eisner Award-winning comic series Sin City comes to life in this live-action feature adaptation from director Robert Rodriguez and creator Frank Miller. Interweaving multiple storylines from the series' history, this violent crime noir paints the picture of the ultimate town without pity through the eyes of its roughest characters. There's the street thug Marv (Mickey Rourke), whose desperate quest to find the killer of a prostitute named Goldie (Jaime King) will lead him to the foulest edges of town. Inhabiting many of those areas is Dwight (Clive Owen), a photographer in league with the sordid ladies of Sin City, headed by Gail (Rosario Dawson), who opens up a mess of trouble after tangling with a corrupt cop by the name of Jackie Boy (Benicio Del Toro). Finally, there's Hartigan (Bruce Willis), an ex-cop with a heart problem who's hell-bent on protecting a stripper named Nancy (Jessica Alba).
Featuring a who's who supporting cast that includes Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, Devon Aoki, and Nick Stahl, Sin City promises to be one of the most direct translations from page to screen of a comic series, with shots and dialogue adapted straight from the original comic's panels. Rodriguez quit the Director's Guild when they refused to let Frank Miller co-direct the film, a deal hashed out after the two collaborators developed and shot the opening scene utilizing a green-screen process to harness the stark, black-and-white look of the books as a litmus test for the rest of the production. Quentin Tarantino was brought in and reportedly paid one dollar to direct an extended scene between Del Toro and Owen that amounts to one issue of The Big Fat Kill miniseries.

Jessica Alba as Nancy Callahan Dancing From Sin City in Bar"How did you prepare physically for the role?
Jessica: I went to strip clubs to see how strippers do it. I wanted a choreographer, and Robert said, No. Just feel it. We're just going to play music and you're just going to feel it." 
Jessica Alba's most notable film roles have included an aspiring dancer-choreographer in Honey, exotic dancer Nancy Callahan in Sin City.
Jessica Alba is considered a sex symbol and often generates media attention for her looks. She appears frequently on the "Hot 100" section of Maxim and was voted number one on AskMen.com's list of "99 Most Desirable Women" in 2006, as well as "Sexiest Woman in the World" by FHM in 2007.
"What made you want to take on the role?
Jessica: I wanted to do this movie because Robert Rodriguez was directing it, first and foremost. I didn't really know it was a comic book when I saw that he was directing something. I just tell my agents every month, "What's Robert doing? I want to do something with him." And one of my agents has a relationship with Robert and said, "You got an opportunity." And I was like, "Excellent!" So I took that opportunity and ran with it. I auditioned the old fashion way, went in for the casting director, put myself on tape, and he had to approve. And it was like a week of, "Does he think I suck?" Like I don't even care if I get the role, I just don't want Robert to think I suck! And he didn't think I sucked. And he came down, and I read with him, and at that time I looked at the graphic novel and I saw the pictures. I then found out she was a stripper, and she was bottomless and topless. You know, nudity was an option. We could have done it if we wanted to..." |
