They say that patience is a virtue, but virtue isn’t exactly what comes to mind when one thinks of Frank Miller’s Sin City. Back in 2005, the Robert Rodriguez-directed adaptation of Frank Miller’s acclaimed graphic novels made waves for its over-the-top noir styling, killer cast, and dynamic visual aesthetics. Now, after nearly a decade of waiting, the sequel hits theaters this weekend.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For weaves together classic stories from Booze, Broads, and Bullets as well as two original stories that Miller penned specifically for the film. Recently, at a LA-based press day, I caught up with director Robert Rodriguez, screenwriter Frank Miller, and stars Jessica Alba and Eva Green to talk about bringing the franchise back to theaters after all this time, what audiences can expect, and why these femme fatales are most definitely dames to kill for.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is in theaters everywhere. Are you going to go see it? Let us know in the comments below.
