When Robert Rodriguez’s original "Sin City" was released way back in 2005, the VFX-heavy neo-noir felt like something genuinely groundbreaking – a comic book adaptation so faithful to the source material and its striking visuals that the comic's creator Frank Miller received a co-directing credit. Rodriguez and Miller didn't so much translate sequences from Miller's beloved cult series as they practically cut and pasted them out of the graphic novel, positioning them in arresting tableaus Xeroxed straight from the books.

A new teaser has arrived online for Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, in which Eva Green vamps it up as the film’s premiere femme fatale. This new video establishes her link to Josh Brolin’s Dwight, and includes a snippet of their potentially censor-bothering sex scene, before she gets down to the real business of what she wants… Needless to say, it involves having Dwight kill somebody, and unfortunately for Dwight, he seems very easily manipulated.
