Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin and Chris Meloni Join Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

The last 24 hours have been huge for Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller! They announced some pretty spectacular additions to the already all-star cast of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

Early in the hours, they announced that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be added to the cast as a brand new character named "Johnny". He is "a cocky gambler who disguises a darker mission to destroy his most foul enemy at his best game." Sounds perfect for JGL, who has really risen to bigger stardom these past few years than ever before. He was offered role in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and turned it down. That is ballsy move and smart move on his part. This film is better suited for him.

The next big announcement was Chris Meloni will be getting some silver screen time (much needed)! His role is a bit vague at the moment with the exception of him being a lead and playing a police officer (go figure, but still awesome).

The last one of the day was pretty awesome in my book. Josh Brolin will play "Dwight", who we previously saw in the first film. Your probably (or not) thinking "hey Clive Owen played Dwight first, why is Josh Brolin taking over?!). Well, since this is a prequel we will see how Dwight ends up with a handsome british face and not a Brolin face. I am very excited to see where this will go and how it will turn out on film. Rodriguez stated ""Dwight is a constant character throughout the Sin City world and 'A Dame To Kill For' is a defining episode in his life. We're looking forward to Josh's take on Dwight," .

The filming is currently underway at Rodriguez's own Troublemaker Studios.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For will hit theaters on October 4th.

Promo Posters for Sin City 2 and Machete Kills

Today is a huge day for those mega-fans of Sin City and Machete or Robert Rodriguez because we get our first look at the promo posters for both sequels Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and Machete Kills. They both give some information that we loved hearing.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For will be heading into production later this year with Mickey Rouke returning as Marv, Rosario Dawson, and many more are rumored to return but we will find out in coming weeks for sure. The best part of the poster is it shows that Frank Miller will return to co-direct with Robert Rodriguez. That is amazing in every way. I am so excited for this film to finally be made. More details on film in near future as info becomes more open about plot and casting.

Machete Kills is the sequel to the cult hit Machete (based on the short trailer). That can be confusing to some people, just know this is a sequel to a pretty raunchy action flick that was alright but awesome premise. This will see the return of Danny Trejo as Machete, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and introducing Amber Heard, Sofia Vergara, and the legendary Mel Gibson to the series. I can't wait for this film to get the return of Mel Gibson to action and movies in general. Hopefully he doesn't get kicked off set like with Hangover 2. But anyways it starts filming this month.

Cool Batman and Robin Sneakers

A really awesome guy named Daniel Reese paints shows for a living and I got to say they look amazing. He takes request from people and he tries to put an awesome design on some average Nike sneakers. He has a huge variety of versions from Call of Duty, Legos, Toy Story and many, many more.

He just finished these cool Batman and Robin Nikes and I really want to buy them bad. The problem is they are really expensive. They cost around 500 bucks in british money, I have no idea what that is in US currency.
