The Idea Visualization is about the idea behind a movie. The idea for this movie was not to make a comic book movie but to directly translate Frank Miller’s Sin City graphic novels to the big screen.

Frank Miller Big comic book artist from 70’s & 80’s Not keen to make movie out of his novels because they were his pride and joy.

Robert Rodriguez Had the idea to make the Sin City movie for several years. Did The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl. A movie which has the same cartoon feel.

Conceptualization It wasn’t hard to imagine this movie as it was intended to be exactly like the graphic novels. The problem was the Frank Miller wasn’t keen to let his idea go. Rodriguez convinced Miller to allow for a 1 day test shoot. After a 10 hour shoot they has managed to shoot the opening scene and convince Miller. This scene was used to get other actors on board.
