‘Sin City 2’ Script Being Written! By ‘The Departed’ Screenwriter William Monahan

Well I don’t believe it. Sin City 2 could actually be happening. I know, I know. Seems a bit ludicrous, we’ve been tricked before! I have proof now! Proof! They have a screenwriter. That has to count for something,right?

Slashfilm:

The long-rumored sequel to Sin City sounds like it’s finally coming together, six years after the first film’s opening. The last time we checked on the film, titled Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For, director Robert Rodriguez said that he and his team were “just waiting for the script” to start shooting. Now they’ve brought in additional help to complete that final piece. William Monahan, the Oscar-winning writer of The Departed, has been hired to work on the script. Read more after the jump.

Monahan’s work will supplement Frank Miller‘s most recent draft. Rodriguez revealed at Comic-Con that the story for the film would consist of an adaptation of Miller’s limited series A Dame to Kill For, as well as two new tales created just for the movie. Though Rodriguez wouldn’t give away any plot details of the new storylines, he did reveal that one of them would be titled “The Long Bad Night.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rodriguez has said that actors whose characters survived the first film are expected to return for the sequel.

Exciting. At least to me. And I’m sure Rendar is sprouting a chubby right now.
