Frank Miller once again owns the rights for film and TV adaptations of Sin City, in addition to the 2005 film adaptation.
The Hollywood Reporter says Miller regained the rights after Lantern Capital Partner bought Weinstein Co. in a $289 million sale. (Weinstein Co. went bankrupt as its co-founder Harvey Weinstein was charged with sexual assault and rape by multiple women.) Reportedly, Miller was adamantly against selling Sin City, the neo-noir comic book series he created in 1991 and continuously ran until 2000, to Lantern. Luckily, Miller and Lantern were able to come to an agreement which left the aforementioned properties out of the sale.
Miller co-directed 2005’s Sin City with Robert Rodriguez as well as the film’s 2014 sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. However, the agreement between Miller and Lantern did not extend to the sequel. But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing for Miller since the 2014 film underperformed its predecessor by earning only $39 million in the global box office as opposed to the $158 million earned by the 2005 original, which was made on a $40 million budget.

HBO might as well do a series based on Sin City either live action or animated
I don't want a series… I want a film first then the series 😔 part 2 was awesome….
Frankillwr looks like Freddie cruger!
1,2…
The last film sucked. Probably why it was so easy to get the rights back. If the last film made money, he wouldn't get it back.
My man Frank Miller.
Freddy Krueger looking ahh
'Sin City', 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For', & even 'The Spirit' are some of the greatest comic book movies ever… I need to see more films created, fuck a television series.
Fucker on the thumbnail looks like Freddie Krueger without the burned flesh!
Like others have said, i thought that was Freddy
I'm sorry. But why does he resemble Freddy Krueger?
So we not about to acknowledge that the host has some dope ass tattoos 😂💯💯
Every single person reading this, thought this guy was Freddie Kruger
Damn when I saw the thumbnail I was thinking a new Freddy movie was coming out!!
Frank Miller reminds me of Robert Englund for some reason.
I thought that was Freddy Kruger
