Clive Owen on Starring in "Sin City"

Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez was looking for an actor who had a presence and a vitality to him to bring Dwight to life in "Sin City," and remembered Clive Owen from, interestingly enough, his work in the BMW commercials. Rodriguez describes Owen as having a “mysterious presence” and, based solely on his work in the BMW shorts, Rodriguez felt he was right for the part of Dwight.

Rosario Dawson Shows A Whole Lot of Flesh in "Sin City"
I've been looking forward to "Sin City" ever since it was announced Robert Rodriguez was going to co-direct the film alongside "Sin City" creator, Frank Miller. And when you've got such high hopes for a movie, it's almost a sure thing the final result won't live up to your expectations. But "Sin City" blew me away. Rodriguez did a fantastic job of casting "Sin City," with Rosario Dawson as Gail being one of the highlights of the movie (and my husband's personal favorite character). At a recent press conference to promote the movie's April 1st release, Rosario talked about the film's violence, working with Clive Owen, and working with green screens:

Jessica Alba Discusses Nudity and "Sin City"
In Frank Miller’s “Sin City” graphic novel, Nancy, the character Jessica Alba plays in the movie, was topless. At a press conference promoting “Sin City,” Alba was asked about the difference in Nancy’s costume from the book to the screen and why she decided to take on a role like this. Alba admitted she was fully aware of her character’s outfit – or lack thereof – in the book. “Oh, she was bottomless too. I wanted to do this movie because Robert Rodriguez was directing it, first and foremost." Alba talks about working with Rodriguez, her costume, and preparing to play an exotic dancer:

Director Matthew Parkhill Talks About "dot the i"
Writer/director Matthew Parkhill’s feature film debut, "dot the i," is a movie I’d like to discuss in-depth, but can’t. Almost anything I say about it will be giving away the plot, which made conducting an interview with Parkhill an almost frustrating experience. I really wanted to know the hows and whys of certain scenes, but would have been unable to use the info in an article without risking the wrath of moviegoers - or without doing a disservice to the filmmaker. With those limitations in mind, here's my one-on-one with first time feature film director Matthew Parkhill:
