I bet this is going to be a hit.
Over $60M seems right.
If FANTASTIC FOUR and SIN CITY are both hits, it's going to be good for JESSICA ALBA's career.

Etertainment Tonight will be doing a behind the scenes look at Jessica Alba's striptease scene tonight. Here is the article from ETonline.com
Jessica's 'Sin City' Striptease
March 14, 2004
JESSICA ALBA is poised to hit the big screen big time this year with three blockbuster movies ready to break: ''Into the Blue' (July 15), 'Fantastic Four' (July 8) and 'Frank Miller's Sin City,' first out of the gate on April 1.
While she may sport a sexy bikini in 'Blue' and disappear completely as the Invisible Girl in 'Four,' only in 'Sin City' will you find the former "Dark Angel" doing a striptease, film-noir style, for BRUCE WILLIS.
"Honestly, audiences are going to be blown away," says Jessica about her stylish new flick. "I play an exotic dancer who was kidnapped when she was a kid. If, in her wildest dreams, her knight in shining armor ever comes back, she's ready for him."
Based on the cult series of graphic novels created, written and illustrated by FRANK MILLER, the highly-stylized film contains three stories that take place in the titular, fictional city, translated from Miller's Sin City, The Big Fat Kill and That Yellow Bastard. Bruce and Jessica star in the translation of Bastard, which follows the story of a cop on the verge of retirement who takes on one final case to save a young girl who has been kidnapped by a lunatic.
Some of Hollywood's hottest faces were clamoring to be a part of this ambitious project, and those who made the cut include CLIVE OWEN, BENICIO DEL TORO, ROSARIO DAWSON, MICKEY ROURKE, JOSH HARTNETT, NICK STAHL, BRITTANY MURPHY and ELIJAH WOOD.
"When we started casting all these parts, strange things started happening; people showed up who looked like my drawings," says Miller. "In a lot of ways this movie's quite literally like having a dream come true."
A giant in the comic book/graphic novel world, Miller is credited with single-handedly reinventing the superhero genre with Batman: The Dark Night Returns and his subsequent takes on Daredevil and other well-known superheroes, including Elektra (embodied earlier this year by JENNIFER GARNER in her own adventure).
'Frank Miller's Sin City' is co-directed by ROBERT RODRIGUEZ, the man who brought audiences the 'El Mariachi' trilogy (including 'Desperado' and 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' with ANTONIO BANDERAS) and the 'Spy Kids' trilogy. The film is also co-directed by Miller and "special guest director" QUENTIN TARANTINO, a long-time pal and collaborator with Rodriguez (they first teamed up on the GEORGE CLOONEY vampire-fest 'From Dusk 'Til Dawn'). 'Sin City' was shot entirely with green screens (a process requiring no sets, only actors on a stage with props), and Rodriguez wanted to involve Miller with every aspect of the production, including sharing the directing.
"This is the first time a graphic novel will be treated with absolute respect in how it is brought to life," says Rodriguez, who pitched the idea to Miller of "translating" rather than adapting his story to the big screen. "If you look at [Miller's] books, you see that in a way they are already the best written, shot and directed 'movies' never seen in a theater."
Upon seeing the initial test footage of the movie -- which even included his name in the title credits -- a pre-cast Willis says, "I started watching it and about a minute in I said, 'Whatever else I see on this, I just want you to know I'm in; I want to do this.'"

I just saw the poster with Rosario's wonderful tongue in a bus shelter on my way home today. Nice to see some advertising for this movie and I think it will open to $28.8 million and finish with about $84 million.
I'll be there opening day, with bells on :gun: (damn these are some cool new smilies =D> ).

At movies.com Sin City has a pre-release buzz factor of 4.61, better then Batman, War of the Worlds, and Ring Two, and pretty close to Star Wars. http://movies.go.com/moviesdynamic/movi ... on%20Films
