Sin City r1

[rodo]

todavia ni se estrena en cines y ya tiene fecha de salida en dvd:
With the summer blockbusters on the way to displace this April 1st theatrical release, and so far having earned $25 million more at the box office than its reported production cost, Buena Vista Home Entertainment and Dimension Films are preparing Sin City for an August 16th premiere on DVD. Co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and graphic novel creator Frank Miller (and enjoying some guest direction by none other than Quentin Tarantino, no stranger to violent noir), the film earned both critical acclaim and audience admiration.


To read the extensive reports that the film was shot exclusively on a green-screen soundstage at Rodriguez's ranch/studio, then had the backgrounds added through the magic of CGI, one might think Rodriguez was the first to do so. Clearly George Lucas led the way, and Kerry Conran's terrific Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow preceded Sin City by seven and a half months. Tarantino's participation was no coincidence. There are clear influences from Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction . This is pulp at its most lurid.


Bruce Willis (Hartigan), Mickey Rourke (Marv), Jessica Alba (Nancy Callahan), Clive Owen (Dwight), Elijah Wood (Kevin), Benicio Del Toro (Jackie Boy), Michael Clarke Duncan (Manute) . . . I could go on, there are so many fine players in this film's great ensemble cast. Expect the usual anamorphic video presentation and 5.1 audio. Supplements are reported to include a making-of featurette and some storyboards. This must be too thin to satisfy the director. No word on his ten-minute film school or a nice recipe. This hints at a bigger and better special edition downstream, perhaps an extended version. We'll just have to wait and see. The SRP has not been announced, but a $29.99 price would be consistent with this studio's single-disc releases.
