As a longtime Frank Miller<\/a> fan, I’ve been following the film adaption of his Sin City comic<\/a> series with interest, and today Wired has a nice write up<\/a> on it including some behind-the-scenes details involving everything from white blood f\/x to blue-blood film clubs (in this case, the DGA<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The soon-to-be-released film is interesting on multiple levels:<\/p>\n

– aesthetics could have a wide-ranging impact in multiple disciplines (similarly to how Miller’s Dark Knight Returns<\/a> comics obviously influenced Tim Burton’s design of the early Batman movies<\/a>… which themselves influenced IDers and real products in other ways).<\/p>\n

– the digital technology Rodriguez<\/a> is using not only solves artistic issues in bringing this difficult piece to the big screen, it’s at the core of what scares the entrenched studios so badly: losing control.<\/p>\n

– the business dealings surrounding how the movie is being made and financed (typically anti-establishment Rodriguez) is indicative of perhaps a larger trend: artists wresting control of their creations from corporate handlers (who seem to think, as has been documented<\/a> in Terry Gilliam’s battle over “Brazil”, they can improve<\/em> upon a work by making their own inexperienced and unqualified edits and modifications).<\/p>\n

Sin City, the movie, could mark a significant milestone for content creators of all types. For a peek at the trailer, you can find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
