Watch the 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' Comic-Con Trailer and Panel; Robert Rodriguez Talks 'Sin City 3'

While many of the major films to show their wares at Comic-Con were met with solid response, one that got a pretty tepid reaction was Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Maybe it's because the film is so close to hitting theaters and we've seen so much from it, but there hasn't been a ton of strong buzz. Or perhaps it's because Rodriguez dicked fans around for eight years, promising the movie was "next" on his list only to shove it aside until now. Whatever the case, now that the movie is here Rodriguez and Sin City creator Frank Miller are already talking about Sin City 3...assuming there is demand for it.

Miller: “Robert and I are already talking about ‘Sin City 3. So you'd better show up for number two or they won't pay for it."

Right. And if I recall the panel ended with a "Seeya for Sin City 3" comment or something along those lines, but the point is that Rodriguez and Miller REALLY want there to be another one. Of course, they've said this before. We know Rodriguez is always busy and could get jammed up again, so why doesn't Miller just direct the third movie himself? Oh yeah, because he helmed The Spirit, tried to do it in Sin City style, and everybody loathed it. 

Anyway, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For opens August 22nd. Check out the red band Comic-Con sneak peek and panel discussion, followed by a bunch of new posters.

Eva Green's 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' Poster is Too Hot for the MPAA

The MPAA is notorious for being run by a bunch of old fuddy-duddies scared crapless by the very idea of anything sexy, so Robert Rodriguez and the marketing brains at Dimension Films knew exactly what they were doing with this latest salacious poster for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. The image, which features Eva Green at her absolute sexiest, was rejected by the MPAA for  "for nudity - curve of under breast and dark nipple/areola circle visible through sheer gown." And my response to this? Thank you, Dimension Films! Seriously, the poster is pretty hot but that's kind of the point, isn't it? Now Rodriguez can go out there and pimp that his film is "too hot for the MPAA" or something.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For opens August 22nd.

New Posters for 'Maleficent', 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For', and 'Edge of Tomorrow'

We haven't done a poster round-up in awhile, so here are some for what are expected to be three of the summer's biggest hits.

First up are new character posters for Disney's Maleficent, opening May 30th with Angelina Jolie as the Sleeping Beauty villainess. Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley, Imelda Staunton, Sam Riley, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville co-star with Robert Stromberg making his feature directing debut.

PLOT: “Maleficent” explores the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the classic “Sleeping Beauty” and the elements of her betrayal that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. Driven by revenge and a fierce desire to protect the moors over which she presides, Maleficent cruelly places an irrevocable curse upon the human king’s newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Aurora is caught in the middle of the seething conflict between the forest kingdom she has grown to love and the human kingdom that holds her legacy. Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to peace in the land and is forced to take drastic actions that will change both worlds forever. 

The latest posters from Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For show off the returning Mickey Rourke as Marv and Jessica Alba as Nancy, done in the style of co-director Frank Miller's graphic novels. The film stars Josh Brolin, Eva Green, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Jaime Chung, and many more. While there are a few new stories, the centerpiece tale follows Dwight (Brolin, replacing Clive Owen) as he tries to escape being murdered by the titular dame, the only woman he ever loved. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For opens August 22nd.

PLOT: Co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller reunite to bring Miller’s visually stunning “Sin City” graphic novels back to the screen in SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR. Weaving together two of Miller’s classic stories with new tales, the town’s most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more reviled inhabitants. SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR is the follow up to Rodriguez and Miller’s 2005 groundbreaking film, FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY. 

 Live. Die. Repeat. Three new posters have arrived for Doug Liman's futuristic Edge of Tomorrow featuring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt in seriously advanced (and bulky) battle armor. You won't have to wait for the far-flung future to see it though as the film arrives on June 6th.

PLOT: The epic action of “Edge of Tomorrow” unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world.

Major William Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again.

But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.

'Sin City' Sequel Retitled 'Sin City: A Dame to Die For'?

After a frustrating eight year wait that saw Robert Rodriguez repeatedly tease a Sin City sequel, we were finally supposed to get it last month. But just as it was about to happen the film was pushed back into 2014, and apparently the weeks since the move have seen Dimension Films and Rodriguez reconsidering some things; like the title. Bloody Disgusting have been hanging out at the American Film Market where they happened to find this new poster which you'll note isn't titled Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Now she's apparently 'A Dame to Die For'.

What's the deal? It's anybody's guess, really, but perhaps the studio got a little antsy over a title that seems to endorse killing?  Or perhaps Rodriguez and screenwriter William Monahan have made enough changes to Frank Miller's original story that the title change seemed like a logical course of action?

Perhaps we'll learn the reasons behind it once Rodriguez starts making the press rounds next year. Starring Eva Green, Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Julia Garner, Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson and more, Sin City: A Dame to DIE For opens August 22nd 2014.
