\"\"<\/a>If yesterday<\/a>‘s news that director Robert Rodriguez may be jumping into production on the much anticipated Sin City 2<\/strong> even before he is done shooting Machete Kills<\/strong> didn’t sound like he was over working himself, perhaps this will convince you. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>, Rodriguez stated that as soon as he is finished with Sin City 2<\/strong> he should be moving right into shooting the sword and sorcery fantasy Fire And Ice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re almost done with the script, we\u2019ve got it pretty much 70 percent there \u2013 I\u2019m really excited about that one… I think the timing is going to work out just right and we\u2019ll have a finished script in the next month or so. So that we can start lengthier pre-production and we can go right into pre-production \u2013 well, we\u2019re actually in pre-production, sort of, or we\u2019ve been doing a lot of the previsualization. But that would be the next thing after Sin City.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A remake of the 1983 animated film that was inspired by the paintings of Frank Frazetta, Rodriguez announced his planned back in May 2010<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A collaboration between animator and director Ralph Bakshi and Frazetti, Fire & Ice was elevated above its script rather straight forward sword-and-sorcery pulp roots \u2013 courtesy of comic book writers Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas who had both worked on four-color adaptations of Conan The Barbarian \u2013 through Frazetta\u2019s unique fantasy work. Fire And Ice<\/strong> used the same rotoscoping process that Bakshi employed in his previous films Wizards<\/strong>, Lord Of The Rings<\/strong> and American Pop<\/strong>. And I would say that despite the good job of world building that Frazetta and Bakshi did, a good portion of the film\u2019s charm is the use of rotoscoping to visualize the action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The director is looking to have the film in production quickly after he wraps SIN CITY 2.<\/div>\n
