Rodriguez Follows Up "Sin City" with "Shark Boy and Lava Girl"

Wednesday April 6, 2005
After giving adult audiences something to sink their teeth into with the sexy, violent, innovative, visually stunning "Sin City," filmmaker Robert Rodriguez is returning to family friendly fare with "The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D." Starring Kristin Davis, David Arquette, Cayden Boyd, Taylor Dooley, and Taylor Lautner, “Shark Boy and Lava Girl” is the story of a lonely kid who entertains himself by going on adventures with his imaginary friends, Shark Boy and Lava Girl.

  • Movie Review: "Sin City"
    I’d been eagerly anticipating "Sin City" for months and you know how that normally winds up. When your expectations are so high, chances are very slim the final product will live up to its promise. But “Sin City” blew me away, easily surpassing anything I’d hoped for from the film. Wildly provocative and featuring one of the sexiest casts collected together in a feature film, Robert Rodriguez and “Sin City” creator/co-director Frank Miller have made a movie that feels retro yet is so fresh and new, it’s tough to actually take in everything in just one sitting.

  • 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:
