by Scott Weinberg on Monday, Jul. 30 2007, 02:33 AM
While sitting on a Comic Con panel, Frank Miller was asked about the hold-up on Sin City 2. (Numerous times, probably.) And it looks like the celebrated author / artist / filmmaker is laying the blame solely at the feet of the Weinstein brothers.

by Scott Weinberg on Monday, Jul. 30 2007, 02:29 AM
