With pre-production of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For now in full swing, we thought we’d take a quick look back at the first film.

Featuring Lucille (Carla Gugino) and Marv (Mickey Rourke) on the set, the shot gives us a glimpse into the process of how the overly stylised and saturated look of Sin City was achieved.

It’s interesting to note how the plasters all over Marv’s face are red, when in the finished film they’re are white.

To remind yourself of how the film looked, here’s the completed scene.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is out later this year.
