Frank Miller talks Sin City:
Sin City writer and co-director Frank Miller talked about the film, which is based on his stunning comics. Other co-director Robert Rodriguez wanted
to match the film images with the panels from the comic. "They're amazingly close," Miller said, "I mean, we actually had a camera setup that would feature my drawings, and then we'd superimpose the filmic image on top of it, and we'd adjust the shot to match the composition. It's as faithful as anything can ever be."
Miller also added that it took Robert quite a while to convince him to make the movie: "Robert pursued me about it. He really wanted to make this movie. And he convinced me that technically it was possible, but then he had to convince me that creatively it could be done, because I was still convinced that people would try to slap happy endings on my stories and soften them and focus-group test them and all that nonsense. And it took him quite a while to convince me. I was a tough customer."
