Is Sin City sequel being shopped around?
The sequel rights to Sin City, Frank Miller's popular noir comic, are being shopped around Hollywood in what appears to be a sign that Dimension Films has lost rights to the property, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Weinstein Co./Dimension continue to maintain that they hold the rights to any sequel for the Robert Rodriguez film, which grossed $159 million worldwide when it came out in 2005.
But producers say they have been shopped the rights by representatives for Miller's estate, who they say are seeking a new place to set up a potential follow-up.
It is unclear what kind of involvement Rodriguez, who directed the first movie and has strong connections to both TWC and Miller, would have with a potential sequel.

"producers say they have been shopped the rights by representatives for Miller's estate"
Is this article saying Frank Miller is dead? He was alive the last time I checked.

I wondered the same thing--"Miller's estate"?

I had to double check when I read that. I think it should read "representatives for Frank Miller" or "Frank Miller's representatives". Although saying "his estate" is technically correct, it makes it sound like he's dead. The editor should have caught this one.
