'The Departed' scribe William Monahan to visit 'Sin City'

Six years after directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller wowed audiences with "Sin City," the pair have signed Academy Award-winning screenwriter William Monahan to work on the script for the sequel.

Monahan won the 2006 Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for Martin Scorsese's "The Departed." His other credits include "Kingdom of Heaven," "Body of Lies" and "Edge of Darkness."

The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision first reported Monahan's signing adding that he will be "supplementing" a draft written by Miller, who created the original "Sin City" graphic novels.

Rodriguez said at Comic Con last month that financing was arranged and filming would begin as soon as the script was ready.

Fans, myself included, have been waiting for word on when the promised sequel would finally come. It seems the wait may soon be over.
