Sin City 2 is the sequel to the 2005 movie Sin City, which was based on Frank Miller's Comic book Mini Series, which were later turned into bound Graphic Novels. It will be released in 2007, although an exact release date has yet to be confirmed. It was revealed by director Robert Rodríguez that the story for film to be based around would be A Dame to Kill For as well as new story to be written by Frank Miller. The film was originally scheduled for release in the summer of 2006. However, due to scripting delays, the release of the film has now been pushed back until sometime in 2007. <ref>http://imdb.com/title/tt0458481/releaseinfo</ref>
The new story revolves around the character of Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba). It will weave in and out of A Dame to Kill For and will show "A whole new side of Nancy", according to Miller. No other stories have been confirmed at this time, but Frank Miller has also expressed interest in including other Sin City short stories in the film, possibly including Blue Eyes that introduces the assassin Delia.<ref>Miller Talks 'Sin' Sequel and Batman vs. Al Qaeda.

[edit] Plot
The film's plot follows multiple storylines, one is based around A Dame to Kill For which follows Dwight (Clive Owen) and his former love Ava Lord, who betrayed him and ended their relationship for a wealthier man. Ava now returns years later claiming her marriage is terrible and insisting that Dwight help. After she frames him for the murder of her husband, Dwight, with the help of Marv, seeks to clear his name. Dwight's storyline in this film is a prequel to The Big Fat Kill, which occurred in the first film. It explains how Dwight came to have his "new face" and his connections with the Old Town prostitutes. Dark Horse describes A Dame to Kill For: "It's one of those hot nights, dry and windless. The kind that makes people do sweaty, secret things. Dwight's thinking of all the ways he's screwed up and what he'd give for one clear chance to wipe the slate clean, to dig his way out of the numb grey hell that is his life. And he'd give anything. Just to cut loose. Just to feel the fire. One more time."<ref>Rodriguez Confirms Sin City 2 Story. Retrieved on 2006-10-24.</ref>
Another storyline follows Nancy (Jessica Alba) as she grieves the death of Detective Hartigan, the man she had grown to love after he rescued her from That Yellow Bastard who had kidnapped and attempted to rape then kill Nancy when she was a child.

Even though the events confirmed for this film take place before certain events of the first film (allowing deceased characters such as Marv, Manute, and Goldie to return), they take place after the death of Hartigan, who will most likely not return. Bruce Willis has confirmed that he will not be involved in this film, but he has stated that he would love to reprise the role, if Frank Miller were to write some new Hartigan material for a subsequent sequel. It is unknown whether or not Becky (Alexis Bledel) or The Salesman (Josh Hartnett) will return to reprise their roles for this film.
Angelina Jolie was said to be Rodríguez's first choice in the role of Ava, so much so that he was delaying production to correspond with her pregnancy, according to Rosario Dawson <ref>Jolie in Sin City 2? So says Rosario Dawson..

Frank Miller himself confirmed that he and Rodriguez were interested in having Jolie as Ava, and that the director was discussing the possibility with her.<ref>http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=8731</ref>
