Trivia:
The lead role was originally offered to Johnny Depp but he declined due to scheduling conflicts. Joseph Gordon-Levitt later replaced him and chose to star in the movie despite offers to star in other movies such as Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and Godzilla (2014). Back in 2006 when Rodriguez first starting putting together ideas for a SIN CITY sequel, he considered Depp for the part of Wallace - the lead character of "HELL AND BACK" which he was hoping to adapt as one of the film's three segments. The idea to adapt HELL AND BACK was scrapped though & Rodriguez chose to adapt "JUST ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT", "A DAME TO KILL FOR" & the never published "THE LONG, BAD NIGHT" instead. See more »

I got to see an advance screening last night. If you're a fan of the
first Sin City, you won't be disappointed. It's more of the same, but
that's a good thing: hyper-stylized visuals, intense violence, plenty
of splattered blood. Film Noir cranked up to 11.
Jessica Alba doing her stripper grind? CHECK. Mickey Rourke causing
much harm? CHECK. Josh Brolin is new to the franchise and he is GREAT!
JGL is new to the franchise and he is GREAT! But the film really
belongs to Powers Boothe. He is just pure evil. If you liked him as Cy
Tolliver in Deadwood you'll love him in this.
The only drawback is that the original Miho (Asian female killer) was
apparently pregnant at the time of the filming of the sequel, so they
had to replace her. That's kind of a bummer.
Fans of the comic / graphic novel will be happy. Fans of Robert
Rodriguez will be happy. GO!
