…Lots of Green Screen
Behind-the-scenes clips show
how extensively green screen was used to create the film noir look of Robert
Rodriguez and Frank Miller's “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For”
A lot of films use their CGI
effects with subtlety, but not “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.” Like the 2005
original, this sequel relies heavily on the use of CGI to create its mostly
black-and-white film noir signature look.
Two B-roll releases spotlight
just how extensively green screen was used by showing the actors performing
scenes and stunts on a soundstage surrounded by green. From green walls,
floors, doors and even fence posts, almost everything in the film appears to
have been digitally created.
Only specific things the
actors have to interact with, like Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s
car, or Mickey Rourke's guns, seem to be at least somewhat real. It certainly
emphasizes what a challenge it must have been for the performers to get into
these roles in this seedy city that only existed in the minds of directors Robert Rodriguez and “Sin City”
creator Frank Miller.
At least they had the 2005
original to get an idea of what the film would look like, and the returning
castmembers like Rourke, Rosario Dawson, Powers Boothe, Bruce Willis,
Jaime King, Jude Ciccolella and Jessica Alba could recall that experience.
“Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” was produced by
Rodriguez, Sergei Bespalov, Aaron Kaufman, Stephen L'Heureux, Oleg Boyko,
Alexander Rodnyasky, and Mark C. Manuel. It also stars Josh Brolin, Jamie
Chung, Martin Csokas, Julia Garner, Eva Green, Dennis Haysbert, Stacey Keach,
Lady Gaga, Ray Liotta, Christopher Lloyd, Crystal McCahill, Christopher Meloni,
Jeremy Piven, and Juno Temple.
Dimension Films will release
the film to theaters on Friday, August 22.
