Trouble is, she’s so skinny now, I don’t know if she could do it justice.

Dennis, that pic is from MR. AND MRS. SMITH, which is not anywhere near as bad as advertised.

Agree 100% with this post Peet. You should definitely check out GIA and ORIGINAL SIN (that Banderas film). Those are her two best roles, mainly because they allow her to be totally sexually uninhibited on screen–which she was born to be. Is she our greatest modern movie star? I think she is.

Yes, that’s true. Actually, I’m in a minority here, but I really believe Jessica Alba didn’t cut it as Nancy Callahan. Sure, she’s a babe, but a dancer she ain’t. And she’s, like, dressed and everything… Gotta love Carla Gugino and Rosario Dawson, though.

Gee, I should think of a very intelligent next topic now, otherwise I’ll never be taken seriously in the blogosphere.

If their faithfulness to the source material in the first adaptation is any indication – and I don’t see why it shouldn’t be – expect OODLES of nudity in the next installment…

One can hope. Although its somewhat disconcerting to think that the one big change Rodriguez made to the first film was cutting out most of the nudity. Hopefully it was an actress issue – Jolie, as she’s proved in Gia, that Banderas film, that Ethan Hawke serial killer movie and one or two other films – doesn’t seem to have the same inhibitions that Jessica Alba does.

I think it’s latex, Dennis–although it’s been a long time since I hanged in the S&M dungeon.

Angelina’s done nudity before. In Gia, I think, and in that movie with Antonio Banderas. BOTH I haven’t seen (dammit!). Your question made a faithful husband and father of two type “Angelina Jolie naked” into Google. Here’s what came up on top:

As the link above proves, for the sake of art alone, watering down A Dame to Kill For would be a crime…

Whoa! Where did that pic of Ms. Jolie in the rubber/vinyl/leather/whatever getup come from? Put her in something like that, and I almost won’t care if she gets completely nude or not! (Almost.) As I was reading your piece, I was trying to remember if she’s ever done nudity (R-rated variety, not full frontal) before. If she has, I can’t say that I remember seeing it (and now that I’ve said that, of course, someone will chime in with the one obvious example that I somehow managed to forget!) If she hasn’t, I wonder if she and Rodriguez and Miller will tailor the concept of the character to cut down or mask the nudity shomewhat. I’m speaking here as someone unfamiliar with the Sin City books, so I’m not even sure if such watering-down is even conceivable. For those who appreciate Rodriguez’s approach regarding integrity to the source material of the first film (and nothing else– ahem!), I certainly hope not!
