Michael Madsen Doesn’t Get It

Michael Madsen apparently has too much time on his hands, as one would expect from a guy with a monkey on his back. According to Madsen, Sin City 2 may never hit theatres:

They haven’t shot it [Sin City 2] yet. I don’t know if they ever will. I am not sure [about] the franchise. I think the Grindhouse thing didn’t kind of work out as well as they had hoped. Certainly not in the States.

I don’t know what effect that is going to have on making Sin City 2. Sin City was Mickey [Rourke]’s film. Mickey is f**king incredible in that f**king movie. He is the movie. And I am happy for Mickey. Mickey is the real deal. Mickey is Mickey. And you can’t f**k with that. And he did a tremendous job in that thing. The only reason I did it was because Robert Rodriguez said that if I took that little part I would get a bigger role in the sequel, that Bob would have more to do in the sequel. So I said: “Okay, fine.” I am sitting on an apple box [in front of a green screen] and then when you see the movie, you’re in a car. I don’t understand it. I don’t know how to do that. I don’t get it.

To that declaration, I say fuck. However, unlike Michael Madsen, Frank Miller is still riding high from his 300 success, so one would expect him to possess a more definitive answer. Miller says that Sin City 2 is merely delayed, not dead:

Sin City 2 is still likely to happen, just not right away. The script is written and Robert [Rodriguez] and I are raring to go, but it looks like I’m going to be doing “The Spirit” first [sic] and Robert’s going to be doing “Barbarella” [sic] first.

Yeah, obviously Barbarella takes priority because the boobies will be shot in full colour, rather than the stark black/black/white of Sin City 2. Not that we need another fucking movie remake.
