Eva Green Cast as Dame Worth Killing For in 'Sin City' Sequel

Posted byBy R Scott Belzer | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Eva Green will be taking on the titular dame worth committing murder for in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, joining the ranks of an already stellar and surprising cast.

A recent report from Collider has named Eva Green as Robert Rodriguez’s long sought after dame, Ava Lord. The famed actress joins the likes of Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dennis Haysbert, Jeremy Piven and Bruce Willis for the upcoming sequel directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. The latter of the two had nothing but good things to say about both Ava Lord and Eva Green.

“Ava Lord is one of the most deadly and fascinating residents of Sin City,” said Frank Miller. “From the start, we knew that the actor would need to be able to embody the multifaceted characteristics of this femme fatale and we found that in Eva Green.”

Eva Green is best known for her role as the femme fatale in 2006’s James Bond reboot Casino Royale. Her notable work can also be seen in 2005’s Kingdom of Heaven, 2008’s comic-like Franklyn, and last year’s slightly disappointing Dark Shadows. She’ll also make a starring appearance as Atemisia in the upcoming, Miller-written film, 300: Rise of an Empire (Yes, a 300 sequel is actually happening).

Eva Green is an outstanding casting choice in an already stupendous cast. Her range is definitely worth noting, along with her already vintage driven likeness to femme fatale characters of old. It doesn’t hurt that her eyes are greener than a neon sign at a late night rendezvous either, something that will in no doubt be played with against a green screen in true Sin City fashion. Of course, like the original Sin City, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For also reeks of star power which in turn reeks of quality.  Needless to say, we’re excited.

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For still has a way to go before it hits theaters, making its mark this Fall on Oct. 4. While principal photography has already began on the project, we’re sure Robert Rodriguez and Co. will find a few more names to cast alongside Eva Green before it’s too late.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
