Wow. It looks like... It looks like a Frank Miller comic, is what it looks like.

It should; Miller is co-director. The Director's Guild of America holds to a policy of 'one film, one director', so Rodriguez quit the DGA. Tarantino also directs a portion of it as 'special guest director'.

From an interview/panel observation with RR:

In regards to SIN CITY, the movie, Rodriguez said that “If you liked the books, you’ll love the movie, but even if you didn’t like the books, you might still enjoy the film. We basically translated it panel-by-panel.”

How faithful were they to the books? At some point, Miller himself approached Rodriguez about having a character wear a hat between scenes. Rodriguez thought the idea was alright, but said that it wasn’t in the novel, so they wouldn’t do it. Miller approached him a little while later, giddy as a schoolgirl, graphic novel in had, and actually noted how he had apparently included it in his published work as well, but had forgotten about it. Seeing the hat in the book, Rodriguez also added it to the movie. Yeah…that’s a direct translation alright!

Ah, if only more comic book adaptations were like that...

That website has got to be one of the best movie sites I've seen in a while.

Of course I've been waiting for this movie since I heard about it being made, and contrary to most other people I like Rodriguez's unorthodox style, and his willingness to try things that may or may not work.
