I've heard all kinds of things about "Sin City 2" over the past couple of months, but the one thing I would really like to know is: when will this movie actually happen?

Back in December, Frank Miller spilled a few details about the script being done and the movie potentially being ready to shoot by April. Well, April rolls around in less than a month, so that seems unlikely.

On the other hand, ComingSoon recently talked to Rosario Dawson, who played Gail in "Sin City" and will be back for the sequel. And according to her, "Sin City 2" seems to be moving forward... slowly.

"I just talked to Frank about it though and said he finished it a couple of months ago so I'm really excited to get it going," she said about the script. "Supposedly it's going to happen in 2009."

And here is what she told ComingSoon about her character in the sequel: "I get to wear a mask in this one. Is that specific enough?"

Okay, I guess that means we will see "Sin City 2" one day after all.

Frank Miller is a busy guy these days, and the writer-director is currently eyeing a new big-screen take on "Buck Rogers."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Odd Lot Entertainment, which partnered with Miller on his latest flick "The Spirit," is currently in talks to acquire the rights to "Rogers."

Miller is expected to write and direct the film, which the trade says may be dark and feature Miller's usual visual style and themes.

The character of Buck Rogers first appeard in a couple of novellas and a comic strip in the late 1920s. Miller's project will not be the first time Rogers has appeared on the screen.

THR also says "Buck Rogers" could be Miller's next priority project, and if that's true, I'm not quite sure what will happen to "Sin City 2."

As you may have heard or read earlier this month, Miller said in an interview with IGN UK that the sequel is written and they may start shooting in a few months. What the...?

Anyway, Miller's next, "The Spirit," opens Dec. 25. From what I've read on the Web so far, early reviews are pretty negative. We'll see what happens.

So what about that "Sin City" sequel? I'm not a big fan of sequels in most cases, but considering how much I enjoyed Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's first film, I admit I would love to see a follow-up asap.

Problem is, we haven't heard much about the development of "Sin City 2" recently, and quite frankly, at one stage I thought the project was dead. But not so fast!

IGN UK recently talked to Miller, who expressed a certain enthusiasm toward the whole thing. "Sin City 2 is written," he said.

"It's mainly a matter of working out the details of the production. I'm hoping to do it with Robert Rodriguez again in the same circumstances that we did the first one, and we could be shooting as soon as April."

April, huh? If they can pull THAT off, I'm sure they could have the whole thing ready to hit theaters by the end of the year. For now, let's get excited about this statement and wait for the official confirmation.
