Actress Jaime King confirmed today that Frank Miller has finished the script for the long-delayed Sin City 2 and that it will contain both new material written by Miller and adapted sections of existing material from the Sin City comics. King played murdered hooker Goldie and her twin sister Wendy in the original Sin City.
"Frank just finished the script," she told a roundtable of reporters. "I was with him the other night. He just finished it."
When asked about the lengthy delays, King cited the complexities of studio production as the chief culprit, but was hopeful that shooting would begin soon.
"Sometimes studios are awesome because they have a great vision for something, but then they want to do weird things with the second one. Robert [Rodriguez] didn’t want to go down that route… none of the filmmakers or the actors were willing to sacrifice doing it any other way other than what we wanted to do it. I’m hoping we’ll do it sometime this year. But you know how movies are."
King spoke about the long-awaited sequel at the junket for My Bloody Valentine 3D, which opens on January 16th. She also confirmed that she would be performing voice-work for upcoming episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (though she declined to specify a character) and that another long-awaited project--Kyle Newman's Fanboys--will appear in its original form as the director intended. "If it weren't for the fans, and it weren't for the internet and the bloggers on it, they would have taken his movie and totally raped it."
