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.

Director Robert Rodriguez has been unveiling a number of character posters for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For through his Twitter account lately, with the latest one-sheet focusing on one of the new casting additions, Juno Temple.The actress plays Sally, one of the Old Town residents, who was featured in one of the new clips that debuted this week, where she is seen dealing with a violent Joey, played by Ray Liotta, before Dwight (Josh Brolin) swoops in to save the day.

Dimension Films has unveiled four new clips from the highly-anticipated sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, the first of which offers a new look at Ray Liotta's character Joey and Juno Temple's Sally. Just before Joey threatens to kill Sally, Dwight (Josh Brolin) drops in to save the day. The second clip shows Dwight's reunion with Old Town leader Gail (Rosario Dawson), while the third showcases "deadly little Miho" (Jamie Chung) in action.
