How much do you think your film pushes the envelope in terms of gore?

Rosario:  Not in the same way at all as Planet Terror.  That’s more that quintessential, gory, horror movie where it’s like so sensational and ridiculous and the situation is so preposterous that all you’re really concentrating on is making the audience squeamish and, in a lot of ways, those are the best kind of horror movies because it’s fun, pure entertainment like watching Rose McGowan leap over a building suddenly for no reason at all with a gun strapped to her leg shooting off.  It’s like ‘okay’, then she lands and rolls and keeps shooting.  You’re like ‘come on’ but it’s really fun.  It’s a fun thing to watch but this one is more the actual terror film those ones like Saw or Hostel and films like that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  That’s why I like Rob Zombie is The Devil’s Rejects, those kinds of movies are the ones that really creep me out, the ones that are really scary. I like that you have those two juxtaposing against each other.  I think, you’re going to be squeamish on the first one and keeping your eyes closed.  I’ve been telling people how to breathe through them. I think they’re like a joke.  You need to have three beats.  You need The Prestige for the magic.  You also need that for horror.  You can always pretty much tell unless there’s going to be a bird flapping and shocking you or something, you can usually tell when something scary’s going to happen and you can breath through it.  I’ve trained Vanessa.  I’ve known Vanessa for years and she hates horror movies. She can’t stand them.  She’s one of the most neurotic women you’ve ever met in your life.  She’s sitting there like ‘I can’t watch’. I was like ‘you’ve got to make it through the premiere, woman.  Do that at least’.

Are you in Sin City 2?

Rosario: Sin City 2, yes.  Luckily for me, or maybe not luckily for me, Frank really loved drawing that outfit and so he pretty much put Gail in all of his books.  It’s also going to be the prequel to that storyline, The Big Fat Kill in the first Sin City. ‘A Dame to Kill For’ is the book we’ll be doing.  It’ll only be one book as opposed to three so it will actually have a full story arc and I think that would be pretty much the only thing that makes it like a regular film.  Otherwise, it’s going to be very interesting now that all of us know the technology.  I’m sitting down and already thinking about what the hell I could possibly wear to trump what I wore in the last one so I’ll be wearing a mask.  

Q: What’s the status of O.C.T. [Occult Crime Taskforce]?  

Rosario:  O.C.T., yes Bob Weinstein and I are producing the film with Dimension and the trade book is coming out.  We’re just casting the director.  It’s been really fun.
