Sin City fans have something new to get excited about. Frank Miller and Robert Rodriquez may be getting together again to turn their stylishly elevated neo-noir franchise into a television series. According to Deadline, Legendary Television closed the agreement with Miller and are close to a deal with Rodriguez. The pair would executive produce the series, which will be produced by the head of Miller’s production company, Silenn Thomas, and Stephen L’Heureux. The latter produced the 2005 hit’s sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, in 2014.
The first film, based on Miller’s popular graphic novels, was a box office hit and a visually stunning achievement that merged the mediums like never before. It also revived the career of Mickey Rourke. For that project, Rodriguez insisted Miller come aboard as a co-director due to the uniqueness of the imaginative work. The movie would play at Cannes and garner a Palme d’Or nomination.
Included in the deal with Miller is a hard-R animated prequel series to the first film (ya know, for kids). As for Legendary, should they set up the series at a network or streaming service, a first season will be guaranteed.
But how much fans actually want this is the question. Though the first film was groundbreaking and satisfied Miller’s fans the world over, its pricier 2014 sequel, which re-teamed him with Rodriquez and brought back some of the original cast, was an utter flop at the box office and maligned by critics. Part of the reason for its failure may have been that it hit theaters nine years after its predecessor. Or that its technological triumphs weren’t as breathtaking a second time around. Or that it just wasn’t very good.
A series based on this material is a risk as it’s not exactly a hot commodity at the moment. But if Rodriguez and Miller conceive a fresh presentation of this world and its colorful (or black and white) characters, they may win back their audience.
Fans Alarmed by Jessica Alba's Stunning New Instagram Photo
With a growing number of Hollywood stars drawing attention for increasingly slim appearances, Jessica Alba has become the latest celebrity to spark discussion online over her physique.
Alba recently shared an Instagram photo dump highlighting some of her August moments so far. The first photo showed the actress posing for a selfie in a tiger-stripe bikini, putting her slender frame on display. She accessorized the look with gold jewelry and sunglasses.
The rest of the carousel featured snapshots of the Honest founder golfing with her youngest son, spending time with her daughters, relaxing in the sun, enjoying campfires with friends and sharing moments with her boyfriend, Danny Ramirez.
Jessica Alba Fans Point Out Her Recent Weight Loss
However, many fans focused on the first bikini photo and expressed concern about Alba's appearance, with some speculating about weight-loss drugs despite there being no confirmation that she has used them.
"Another one lost to Ozempic," one person wrote.
Another said, "Not another Ozempic girl, she was so fine."
"Jessica, we love you but don't turn into Ariana Grande," another commenter wrote, referencing the singer's own recent appearance and the speculation surrounding her weight.
Another fan simply wrote, "I hope all is well," while someone else commented, "Not looking healthy at all. So sad."
Others pushed back against the criticism, arguing that Alba's body should not be subject to public scrutiny.
"People shaming her for the way she looks need their head examined. It's none of your business and it's also the reason women are so self-conscious of their bodies. Mind your business and your manners," one person wrote.
Hollywood Stars Face Health & Weight Loss Concerns
The online conversation surrounding the mom of three comes amid a broader trend of celebrities being scrutinized over their changing appearances. Stars including Charlize Theron, Anna Faris, Ariana Grande and Jenna Ortega have all faced public speculation about weight loss, health or the use of medications such as Ozempic.
While dramatic transformations among celebrities have long attracted attention, recent conversations have increasingly centered on stars who were already petite and now appear noticeably slimmer.
However, without confirmation from the individuals themselves, speculation about the reasons behind someone's weight or appearance remains just that—speculation.
