If anything, it sounds like Rodriguez is taking a page from his own film <strong>Sin City<\/strong> and his collaboration with that comic&#8217;s creator Frank Miller for his approach here &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I want it to look like you just stepped into one of his [Frazetta&#8217;s] paintings, where you get to see his world, and how he saw people, anatomy, and composition and color. It will feel like it\u2019s real, but not real. It\u2019ll be <em>his<\/em> reality. He saw things differently. He painted from his imagination. He didn\u2019t take a photograph and just paint it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIceEW1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15239\" title=\"FireAndIce1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIce1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIce1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIce1-300x122.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIceEW2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15241\" title=\"FireAndIce2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIce2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIce2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIce2-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIceEW3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15243\" title=\"FireAndIce3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIce3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIce3.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/FireAndIce3-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the official plot description of the film &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>From his stronghold in Ice Peak, the evil Nekron sends forth a wave of deadly glaciers, forcing humanity to retreat to Fire Keep, a kingdom ruled by a generous king.
