Well, at least it looks like someone is working on this damn thing.

Best known for writing the script for Martin Scorsese‘s Oscar winner The Departed, writer William Monahan is working on a new draft for Robert Rodriguez‘s long-talked-about sequel, Sin City 2.

THR has the scoop, and this comes after Rodriguez revealed that the film may be shooting as early as later this year. Monahan is an immensely popular entity it appears, as it has also been announced that Monahan will be remaking the classic, The Gambler with none other than Scorsese himself.

Personally, while it’s hard to see Sin City 2 actually happening after all of this time waiting and wishing, one can only hope that this huge pick up means the film is all the closer to actually happening. As far as The Gambler goes, it’s a perfect project for he and Scorsese to team back up on, so here’s to hoping that can live up to the massive potential.

What do you think?
