		Soon Rodriguez, Miller, "special guest director" Quentin Tarantino, and a vast ensemble cast (Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Rosario Dawson, Elijah Wood, Jessica Alba, and on and on) were putting together what has become, in effect, the most faithful translation from comic-book page to film ever attempted.
		Robert Rodriguez: Well, I've been working with digital filmmaking for a while, and learning about and doing my own special effects and my own photography in order to really push the envelope, to get further into visual story telling.
		Rodriguez: Well, a normal story board just kind of shows where the frame is, and what sort of action happens.

		Robert: Even though I can make my own budgets, I always ask for less money than we need so that you have to be more creative, you have to strip it down.
		Robert: Frank is such a great visual storyteller, that if you study his artwork you see that his Sin City books are already the best movies never seen on the big screen.
		Robert: I didn't want Frank Miller to be treated just as a writer because he is the only one who has actually been to Sin City.

	Filmtracks: Sin City (Robert Rodriguez/Graeme Revell/John Debney)
		Rodriguez takes three primary storylines from the comics and treats them as mini-dramas within the film, the timelessness of the city bringing the lines together under a common umbrella of wet streets, cars of yesteryear, and cigarette smoke.
		Rodriguez also encouraged the entire range of saxophones, from alto to bass, to accentuate the history of film noir jazz in the film, but intentionally distorted the sax performances digitally to give them an extra dose of gritty reality.
		Rodriguez's gritty sax theme continues here, though Debney uses the brass and string-only orchestra for dramatic depth that ranges from a solo trumpet meandering over the top of the ensemble to the full group's interpretation of the title theme.

		Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror wrapped its production recently and Grind House (as a whole) is expected to invade theaters on April 6, 2007.
		While speaking to MTV, Robert Rodriguez claimed there was enough coolness in Grind House to sport a part two and he's already got plenty of ideas running around his head.
		The latest word on the movie is that it will actually mark a return to the way creator Robert E. Howard envisioned Conan in his 1930s stories, rather than a revival of the character Schwarzenegger made famous in the 1980s.
