Sin City 101

So, for those of you who don't know there is a Sin City flick on the way to your malls and theaters this year, it's time to wake up and slap your grampa for not telling you sooner.
Don't really slap him. Mom'll get mad.

The film, directed by Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, Spy Kids), covers a few tales from the multi-volume Frank Miller epic, Sin City from Dark Horse Comics.
Rodriguez teamed with Miller himself to get the movie on screen and even created a short, 15-minute segment on his own to present to Miller in order to get the scribe's blessing before going ahead with production. Now, the two are working hand-in-hand and the film looks rad.

Like, orgasm rad. Dig?

So, the fantastic movie site JoBlo.com has posted a terrific rundown to give you the lowdown on this sure-fire hit. Just click on the header of this piece to check it out.
Look at the cast list! Look at the teaser posters! Look how many exclamation points I'm using!
It's THAT level of excitement, people.
And be sure to look around their site for other cool comics-to-film news like Superman, Batman, and Elektra.

By the way, Yahoo.com has the first five minutes of Elektra online at their movie site.
No idea why, but maybe it'll get folks in the theaters.

Maybe.
