This has been my most anticipated movie for years. The 1st one was my favorite movie, and with such a good writer on the script i\’m very stoked for this sequel. Finally looks like it may happen. The script was already written by frank miller anyway. Monahan is simply adding the finishing touches and polishing it up a bit, and improving the overall script that miller already wrote. its not like he is starting from scratch and we will be waiting 3-4 months for him to complete the script. I say 3-7 weeks will be all Monahan needs to complete his task, and the funding is already in place, and they say getting the cast aint an issue, so i think it will be shooting by november-december, and be out between january and may 2013. They could maybe push a december 2012 release it they work real hard, but i dont want them to do that if it will make the movie suffer but if they can pull it off and it be good then i say go for it.

Only in Hollywood would people scoff at $160 million.

Anyway finally Sin City 2!

For an R-rated genre film on a budget of $40 million, that\’s a hit by any measure. Not to mention it did massive numbers when the DVD came out as well.

You can hardly call $160 million a \”massive hit.\”

Just to correct Angelo Laudisa\’s comment. The Departed was actually a remake of a film called \’Infernal Affairs\’.
