Sin City
 

This movie looks great. Its based on the comic book and it stars Bruce Willis, Brittany Murphy, Elijah Wood so forth and is directed by the man that brought us Desperado, and From Dusk Til Dawn, Robert Rodriguez...

Any thoughts?

Sounds promising. But i have no idea what kind of movie it´ll be??:confused: A Marvel Comic?:(

don't forget co-directed by the man himself frank miller. i have high hopes for this one... despite jessica alba's presence.

Very 50/50. It has an interesting combo of good and crappy people in it....

There's the trailer for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
Looks awesome...this looks to be unlike any "comic film" we've seen thus far, I haven't read the comic myself, but 'll be along to this movie just to SEE it...looks so weird...the colours looks as though they been done to perfection...

Wow. Look sliek they put a little bit of time into it, dont you think?

Wauw, Mickey Rourke is better looking than ever. LOL

Amazing cast.

And i liked the soundtrack. Sounded sweet.

:cool:

Im actually really excited about this movie.

Re: Sin City
 

hey i have to say that pic in your av is really good ....
nice colour choice .... looks professionally done..

My hopes are high, but I think this movie will look up to it.

That trailer is super good.

Looking forward to this one

Sin City is one of my favorite comic book series (Along with Preacher). This movie is going to be absolutely awesome because Frank Miller has such a hand in it. It will be violent, dark, gritty and maybe dryly humorous for sure! I can't fucking wait for this one!!!!

I'm more excited for Sin City than I am for Revenge of the Sith (But not more excited than I am for Land of the Dead.)

I seen the trailer about 2 months back. I thought it looked amazing. Bruce Willis is the MAN!

Can't wait to go see it

it did sound pretty fucking awesome *crosses fingers that it's not all style over substance*... been waiting a while for this one.

Re: Sin City
 

Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke in a comic book movie what's not to like. Saw the trailer last week looks good.

Rosario Dawson, Brittney Murphy and JESSICA ALBA!!!! Thats all I need to know. Looks good.

But no Fettucine...:cool:

Agreed.

the movie looks good, damn good actuly.

i have a feeling it is going to have a QT feel to it. from what i have seen from the trailer the cast is all star. as is the crew. i get the felling it will be alot like kill bill, just without all the jumping around. you know, great cast, kill action sequnces, perfect story and plot, and a shit load of death with an ass load of gore.

From how stylized this movie is, even if it turns out to be style over substance I'm in for seeing it. It's got a fantastic look. I had some scary Dick Tracy flashbacks with some of the over top make-up, but I think they way they are using color and light will really help the overall mood stay dark and morbid.

yeah its gonna be good. i want to see it for the action sequnces.

I can't wait till this film comes out. I saw the trailer and it looks good. It has a lot of great actors and it's directed by Robert Rodriquez, so it should be good.

this is definitely one of the very few Hollywood movies I've anticipated the release of.

ive allready bought my ticket for the 1st of april at 8:00 p.m.

robert rodriguez is producing the film in my city, if i can only find his house so i can break in and steal the masters.:D

lol.

thats great, also if the movie is good run all his memorbielia and sell it on ebay.

too bad it won't do shit at the box office

you know, I aint a big fan of Marvel movies, or the black and whiteness, but Bruce Willis kicks ass.

I bet it does really good. They are giving it great hype and I know a lot of people personally, that have never picked up a comic book in their life, but have interest in this movie.

Sin City isn't Marvel though.

that's pretty bold. I think it will do well.

For real. A lot of people have been talking about it..

we, the internet, are not the majority. The majority know little to nothing about this movie, or what it's about. "What's that movie about?" doesn't draw the curious viewer like people think. Also, it's done in the same technical style as Sky Captain, and that movie didn't do shit at the box office and had leads that were more bankable than the people in this. Hell, Sky Captain had leads, period. Joe Movie-Goer doesn't even know who the main character of the movie is.

Plus, there's still the competition. This is opening the same week as Beautey Shop. It's a black comedy, and has Queen Latifah as the lead. That'll get it a #1 spot for at least one week. Don't forget, fucking Diary of a Mad Black Woman got #1 for that long. The next week, Sahara and Fever Pitch come out. Fever Pitch is a Romantic Comedy With Popular Leads, and Sahara is basically National Treasure with different actors, both will probably do well, and any major traffic Sin City gets it'll get in the first week, maybe some early in the second, and Amittyville Horror comes out the 15th. By the time the 22nd rolls around and there isn't shit coming out, Sin City's chances of even hitting #1 are gone. And in May, before the 20th, there's a Ridley Scott epic, House of Wax, and a Jet-Li movie coming out. The 20th, Star Wars.

I would be willing to place a wager with ya Sam (It will have to be a gentleman's wager since we have no means of collecting on each other) that Sin City buries Beauty Shop at the box office.

You are giving those movies waaaay too much credit.

Queen Latifah + Black comedy = #1 spot? Ha! Beauty Shop won't come anywhere close to seeing the same succes as the Barber Shop movies.

Fever Pitch? Are you fucking kidding me? Jimmy Fallon is a popular lead? How'd Taxi do? And it's not like Drew Barrymore is uncapable of making a bomb. She does it all the time.

Sahara will do alright but it's a family adventure movie. Not exactly the same demographic that would be going to see Sin City.

If you ask me, Sin City doesn't really have any competition at all until Amityville.

So what do say, Sam? Gentlemen's bet? Sin City vs. Beauty Shop. I say Sin City demolishes it at the box office. I'll even give you $1,000,000 head start. (Kinda like a point spread.) Sin City will beat it by more than a million so I'm not worried.

With Week 2, you're looking at the individual movies. It's Sahara AND Fever Pitch. I'm not looking for either one to do all that great, though Sahara will probably hit #1 for a week, but combined they're going to hurt Sin City's numbers.

And I think you're giving the average moviegoer too much credit. I heard the reaction the Beautey Shop trailer got down here. Same with Fever Pitch.

It's not the individual things that are going to hurt Sin City, it's the fact that they're all pretty much hitting it at once. Beauty Shop, Fever Pitch & Sahara, Amittyville, the fact that you can't really tell what the movies about, visual style, lack of discernable lead, et cetera. Its core audience is gonna see the movie the first week it's out. Other than that, it won't do much of anything.



Hope I'm wrong, though.


Gentlemen's Bet

*Shakes*



My prediction is that it does good opening weekend based on the loyal fans that would see it no matter what but word of mouth will take it from there. (Just like word of mouth will take Beauty Shop straight into the shithouse after opening week.)

That's how I think it'll go. I sure hope it does good because I want to see more of these really awesome comics turned in to movies sometime soon. *Cough* Preacher *Cough*

In your favor though, I tend to be hugely optimistic about things I really want to happen. For instance, I watch every single Vikings game every single season optimistically cheering them on in hopes that 'this might be the year'. If you ask me right now how they will do next year, I will tell you that without a doubt they will win it all (even without Moss), but that's just my optimism talking. This could be one of those same deals...

Anyways, I guess we'll find out soon enough...

Actually bwind I think Sam is right on the Beauty Shop prediction, Diary of A Mad Black Woman took the number one spot for a week and it's lead was an unknown dressed like an old woman so Queen Latifah in a spin off from a very successful film as Barber Shop should be a shoe-in.

Will it be as good or successful as the Barber Shop films? I don't know but the success of those films will bring this one the same at least for the first week.


p.s.
The Vikings suck:D

No Ice Cube + No Cedric = No Ticket Sales

Queen Latifah has proven that she can't carry a movie on her own. I'm sure it will do okay, I'm just saying Sin City beats it by a million at least.

;)

Spin off of successful movie + Queen Latifah + Diary of a Mad Black Woman being sold out all over the country(that's a fact not speculation) = #1 spot.

they still suck:D


Vikings - Moss= even more pathetic.

Minus the 2 stars that made it a success. (Ice Cube and Cedric. It wasn't Latifah, that's for sure.)

Whoopty fucking doo. See previous comments about Taxi to see what I think of her ability to draw crowds.

I don't see why you keep trying to connect this. Because they are both black comedies with a female lead? That's kind of irrelevant. I could make a movie about an Italian boxer but that doesn't mean it's going to have the appeal of Rocky. They are totally different (I know there are some common similiarities but I mean to say they are both independent of each other. Their success or failure does not hinge on what the other one does at the box office.)

Not a chance.
