Sin City 2: Eva Green Discusses THAT Poster

Last week The Weinstein Company released a new character poster highlighting the comic book sequel "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" featuring 'Dame'-actress Eva Green.

The poster was rejected by the MPAA for nudity, specifically the "curve of under breast and dark nipple/areola circle visible through sheer gown."

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Green talked bout the poster and the "controversy":

"I'm not actually naked on the poster. I find it a bit odd. It seems like it's all just publicity—a lot of noise for nothing. You have so many more violent things in the movie business and this is kind of soft. I'm not naked. It's suggested. I find it really sexy, actually. It’s kind of beautiful. But if it shocks people, I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to upset anybody. I don’t want to be seen as just the femme fatale or put into some silly box. I hope that people will have enough imagination."

A new edited version of the poster has made its way online, you can check it out below on the left in comparison to the original banned version on the right.


The characters of Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba), Hartigan (Bruce Willis) and Marv (Mickey Rourke) will indeed return, Nancy's mini-story will act as a bridge for both the other stories in this film as well as those in the first film-Rosario Dawson is back as well. The stories told in the sequel take place before and after the events in the first film.

Jaime King, who played Goldie and Wendy in Sin City, is officially set to reprise her role as Wendy. She will be joined by Jamie Chung, who will be taking over the role of deadly little Miho, previously played by Devon Aoki. Eva Green has been cast in the role of Ava Lord. Stacy Keach ("Prison Break," "The Bourne Legacy") has signed to play mob boss Wallenquist, described by Miller as "the one man who can't be redeemed in Sin City. He is pure evil."

Clive Owen was expected to come back. However, since his character undergoes a radical face change, Josh Brolin is playing Dwight Dennis Haysbert will play Manute in the film The role was previously played by Michael Clarke Duncan, who unfortunately passed away. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is poised to play a smooth talking gambler named Johnny, a role which was originally offered to Johnny Depp. Christopher Meloni plays a brutish cop. Julia Garner (Martha Marcy May Marlene) will play a young stripper opposite JGL's Johnny. Ray Liotta, Juno Temple and Jeremy Piven also star.
