Sin City Trailer Hits

Sure, it’s a crappy QuickTime version (the version is crappy, not QuickTime), but I’ve still watched it something like four times through. Sin City is the movie I’m most looking forward to next year, more than Star Wars, more than Batman Begins... probably even more than The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I don’t know if it’ll be good — or that it’ll appeal to a mainstream audience — but this trailer has me sincerely hoping so. Sure, I got all excited after the infamous Comic-Con footage was leaked, but this is really cut together as a trailer, complete with finished effects (and since pretty much all of the backgrounds are digital, that’s a big addition).

So go, check it out, and suffer with me through the lousy image size and stuttering frame rate, waiting eagerly for Apple’s movie trailers page to get a decent copy of it. Probably after Christmas, since that’s when the trailer will be debuting theatrically, attached to prints of Darkness (which still isn’t enough to make me want to see that).

Update: The trailer’s up at Apple’s site now. Still no official site at Miramax (where, at the least, I’d like to see higher-resolution versions of those new one-sheets), but hopefully, that won’t be too long in coming.
