    Sin City Trailer

    Movie-List has uploaded a very cool Sin City trailer from Comic Con. Its in a big format and is quite long. Looks very interesting.

    Sin City Panel

    JoBlo has a pretty big article up based on a Sin City panel they attended at Comic-Con 2004. For those of you that may not know, Tarantino is ‘co-director’ of this film with Robert Rodriguez, though he only directed one scene.

    Big version of the posters for the film can be found here.
