SIN CITY was one of the best films 2005 and this summer sees the long-awaited sequel SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR finally arrive. Fans of Frank Millers graphic novel series flocked to the cinema to see Robert Rodriguez’s first movie which was also a hit with those not familiar with the paper origins.
It was hoped that a sequel would be released in quick succession however Rodriguez and Miller have kept us waiting. In the meantime most of the stars saw their star rating soar with the likes of Clive Owen and Jessica Alba being bumped all the way up to A-listers. Whilst Owen won’t be returning for a second outing, his role is now being played by Josh Brolin, Alba is once more back to help director and close friend Rodriguez out.
Alba played the innocent (ish) Nancy Callahan is SIN CITY – a grown-up version of a little girl that Bruce Willis’ good cop Hartigan rescued from a revolting luminous yellow pedophile played by Nick Stahl. The events of the first film saw Nancy back in the clutches of her tormentor but Hartigan once again came through to rescue her. SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR will reconnect with Nancy and how is she coping in light of the events of the first film? A new clip has appeared online that sheds some light, see below:
It is clear that her past has finally caught up with her psyche as the young dancer appears to be going a little mad; talking to herself, chopping off her trademark locks and self-mutilating her face. Nancy has well and truly gone to the darkside. Can she get herself back in order? Well we’ll have to wait until the film’s release (22nd August for the US, 29th August) for the UK for that to be answered.
