Your Chance To Grill Robert Rodriguez
Author: Stephen Gerding March 24th, 2005MSNBC.com is offering readers a chance to participate in an interview with SIN CITY director Robert Rodriguez tomorrow, March 25. Of course there’s no guarantee that he’ll be asked your particular question, but if you submit a good one, the folks at MSNBC will be passing it on. So, if you’ve been wondering just what exactly Jessica Alba, I dunno, smells like in person, here’s your opportunity.
GeneralDirector Robert Rodriguez (”Spy Kids,” “From Dusk Till Dawn”) was so set on making a movie version of Frank Miller’s ultraviolent graphic novel “Sin City” that he invited the author to a test shoot in Austin. Miller caved. When he arrived, he found actor Josh Hartnett and a fully rigged set waiting for him. “This was no damn test,” Miller recalls. “This was the first day of principle photography.” And so “Sin City”–starring Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Benicio Del Toro, Mickey Rourke and what seems like the past six cover models of Maxim magazine–was made. It’s gory stuff, but it’s also a visually arresting blitzkrieg with action so bare-knuckled you’ll leave the theater spitting out teeth. Send your questions to Rodriguez about the making of “Sin City” or any of his other movies, and we’ll post his answers here on Friday, March 25.
