Interesting things about the movie "Sin City"

"We shot it in one room, one green-walled room," says (director) Rodriguez. "Just the way you would shoot a weatherman in front of the weather chart and put in the map later. That’s how we shot the whole movie.” The green-screen scenes were brought back to Rodriguez’s edit house, where he added the backgrounds and effects by computer.

"We can shoot very fast. I mean, I think Jessica Alba was on the set seven days," says Rodriguez. "Bruce was there 10, Benicio was there four. I mean, you’re shooting at an ungodly speed.” One fight between Mickey Rourke and Elijah Wood was completely fake: the two never even met until they were introduced at the movie’s premiere.

True to his formula, Rodriguez made “Sin City” on a tight budget: just over $40 million.
