Sin City: A Dame to Kill For Casts Eva Green and Stacy Keach

So far the cast that has been shaping up for Robert Rodriguez's Sin City sequel A Dame to Kill For has been filled with very impressive names. So far we know Dennis Haysbert will be replacing the late Michael Clarke Duncan as Manute, Josh Brolin has replaced Clive Owen as the post-surgery Dwight, and actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Christopher Meloni, Ray Liotta, Juno Temple have all joined the cast as unspecified characters. On top of that, original cast members Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, and Mickey Rourke will all be reprising their roles from the first film. And if that wasn't impressive enough, Eva Green and Stacy Keach have now officially joined as the 'Dame' and 'Big Bad'.

For those who aren't familiar with the original Sin City film, it was based on the comic book by Frank Miller, and was a black and white film that featured four different short stories based on Miller's The Customer's Always Right, That Yellow Bastard, The Hard Goodbye, and Big Fat Kill, all involving different characters. Here's the following synopsis of the first film:

Four tales of crime adapted from Frank Miller's popular comics, focusing around a muscular brute who's looking for the person responsible for the death of his beloved Goldie, a man fed up with Sin City's corrupt law enforcement who takes the law into his own hands after a horrible mistake, a cop who risks his life to protect a girl from a deformed pedophile, and a hitman looking to make a little cash.

Now A Dame to Kill For will follow a similar format to the first one, and takes place before the first Sin City. So far the announced stories are A Dame to Kill For, Just Another Saturday Night, The Long Bad Night, and an untitled original story which is set to star Alba post the events of That Yellow Bastard. A Dame To Kill For is the primary story which follows Josh Brolin's pre-facial surgery Dwight McCarthy to save his former lover Ava Lord (The 'Dame' to kill for), who Eva Green has now officially been casted as. Green is best known for playing the bond girl in Casino Royale, and her recent role in Tim Burton's Dark Shadows as Angelique Bouchard.

Just Another Saturday Night is set to feature Mickey Rourke's Marv as the primary character on the night That Yellow Bastard took place, while The Long Bad Night is set to feature JGL's character Johnny who is a cocky gambler, who disguises a darker mission to destroy the biggest villain in Sin City at his own game. He beats the wrong guy and things take a very bad turn for him. This 'biggest villain' in Sin City is presumably Stacy Keach's character 'Big Bad' also known as Herr Wallenquist. Keach is well known for his many television roles and appearances, as well as his role in American History X.

Sin City A Dame to Kill For is now filming in Austin, Texas, and will hit theaters October 4th, 2013.
