Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez says that all three "Sin City" directors (Rodriguez, Frank Miller, and special guest director Quentin Tarantino) wanted to work with Brittany Murphy. And as 'Shellie', Murphy gets fought over by Clive Owen and Benicio Del Toro. It seems everyone wants to be near Murphy in "Sin City." So what was life on the set like for this "Sin City" beauty? Check out what Murphy has to say about working with Robert Rodriguez and the violence 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:

    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:
