Willis, Wood In Sin?

Bruce Willis, Elijah Wood, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brittany Murphy, Kate Bosworth, Mickey Rourke and Jaime King are signed, in negotiations or just recieved offers to appear in director Robert Rodriguez's big-screen adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel series Sin City, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which cited multiple sources. The trade paper added that Maria Bello and Benicio Del Toro were also on Rodriguez's radar, though offers had not yet been made to Bello or Del Toro.

Sin City will play out as a trio of vignettes following a group of dark characters who live in the corrupt titular town. Production on the film is slated to begin next month in the director's native Austin, Texas, with Miramax's Dimension Films division on board to distribute.

Interesting how Josh Hartnett and Marley Shelton aren't even mentioned in this item - yet they're the only one's who've been associated with the film in Variety so far. Although, the film is described here as a series of three vignettes, so it's always possible that these new people may not have begun filming. But unless Variety is completely off base, the film has definitely been in production already...
