'Sin City 2' Will Pay Tribute To Brittany Murphy, says Rosario Dawson

At this point in the "Sin City 2" news cycle, it's not too much of a stretch to say that we've heard it all before. Robert Rodriguez can't wait to start! All the cast members are ready to go! Etc., etc. Still, we have hope! And it doesn't stop us asking key participants like Rosario Dawson what they've heard about a possible start date.

"I have not heard very much except that Robert [Rodriguez] is still insistent that we’re going to make it and we’re going to make sure to put something in there for Brittany [Murphy] to recognize her," the "Unstoppable" actress revealed. "Unfortunately it’s been so long now and she’s not with us anymore and she was a huge integral part to that first film, it would be important to do that."

"I’m even more inspired to get it done now," she added.

With the actors, filmmakers and fans all on board for the long-delayed, much-discussed potential sequel to Robert Rodriguez's 2005 adaptation of Frank Miller's celebrated comic book noir, the sticking points likely involve studio dollars and scheduling.

Particularly for Rodriguez, who just came off "Machete" and is currently in the midst of "Spy Kids 4," and constantly mentioned in the continuing "Deadpool" discussions. Nevertheless, he has insisted that it will never be too late for a "Sin City 2."

"No, never, but I just don't want to wait that long," he said. "I know Frank doesn't want to wait that long."

Rosario Dawson has said that a Sin City sequel will honour Brittany Murphy should it get made.

Murphy, who played strip club worker Shellie in Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's 2005 original, passed away in December last year.

"We've been talking about [the sequel] for so many years after we'd made the first one and to do it again, now she's not with us anymore, that would be something we'd be very specific about making an acknowledgement to and making sure she's a part of it," Dawson told Digital Spy.

"She was such an integral part of the first film, such an amazing actress and person and we miss her and I think it would be a great opportunity to honour her by doing a second film and making sure we acknowledge that."

Discussing the possibility of the follow-up, and her character Gail, Dawson said: "I really hope it happens. I don't know how much longer I can fit into that outfit! I do get to wear a mask this time, which I am looking forward to.

"I love Frank and I love Robert and I love that world. I think it's really insane and intense. It's incredible to see how much that movie has affected things in so many movies I've seen since."
