The long-anticipated sequel to 2005's conceptual, groundbreaking comic book adaptation, Sin City is finally confirmed to go.

Not only has it been announced that director, Robert Rodriguez is returning to co-direct the big-screen continuation of the iconic graphic novel series with creator, Frank Miller, but now, the film has a release date: October 4, 2013.

The film, as had been speculated for quite some time, will be called Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, based on the second series/graphic novel which focused on characters, Dwight (played by Clive Owen) and his love, deadly prostitute, Gail (played by Rosario Dawson.)

Find out more info and check out the neo-noir-iffic teaser poster below.

Batman: "How was your Mother's Day, Ani? Oh, right, she got kidnapped, racked, and killed by Sand-People because you abandoned her!"

Vader: "Well, Bruce, at least my Mom got killed defending her home instead of stupidly walking into a dark alley wearing expensive pearls, almost asking to be robbed and killed."

Batman: "At least I didn't choke my wife to death like some intergalactic O.J."

Vader: "Speaking of domestic situations, how's that cohabitation with the 10 year-old boy, going?"

The upcoming reboot of the wall-crawling franchise, The Amazing Spider-Man has released a 4 minute preview trailer, showcasing much of the film's intense action sequences.

While we've known for some time that director, Marc Webb's big-budget blockbuster debut would be using Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker/Spider-Man in a more pathos-centric way, focusing on the mystery of Peter's parents and his relationship with friend/nemesis Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard, this preview drives home the point even more.

Will this film manage to swing from outside the shadow made from the still-recent Spider-Man films by Sam Raimi? We will certainly find out when it clings to theaters on July 3.

In the meantime, check out the new preview below!

Sure, in New York City, a random mugger armed with "small knives" is destined to be bound and hanging from a web on a streetlight. However, when a rogue Norse God and powerful alien invaders riding giant dragons stroll into town, Spidey mysteriously comes down with "the flu."
