Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For: Eva Green Responds To Banned Poster! 'I'm Not Actually Naked In The Poster!' See The Edited Version! Spot The Difference!
The banned poster for "Sin City: A Dame To Kill For" depicting Eva Green has been edited to comply with the MPAA guidelines. Eva Green has heard about the brouhaha, and she's a bit puzzled.
Eva Green spoke to Vanity Fair in their Hollywood Today chat for the upcoming "Penny Dreadful" episode.
"I'm not actually naked on the poster." That may have disappointed some people.
When she learned that it caused quite an uproar, she reacts like a real French woman:
"Oh, my God, I heard about that. I find it a bit odd. It seems like it's all just publicity-a lot of noise for nothing. You have so many more violent things in the movie business and this is kind of soft. I'm not naked. It's suggested."
Green actually likes the poster. The simplicity and the implied sexiness along with the handgun, the caption (I've been especially bad)-she likes it. "It's kind of beautiful. But if it shocks people, I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to upset anybody."
If she has any concern about her image on the now-infamous ad, it's that audiences will correlate her with one particular kind of character: "I don't want to be seen as just the femme fatale or put into some silly box. I hope that people will have enough imagination."
There is probably no shortage of imagination as far as Eva Green is concerned. The femme fatale image was pretty much in place after her last stint as Artemisia in "300: Rise of An Empire." Her scene with Sullivan Stapleton was voted the Sexiest Moment in Comic Book Movies.
We will show the two versions of the posters below. The edited one goes first and the original banned poster is directly below it. You can play Spot the differences (if any) and be the judge of whether the initial 'ban' was justified or an overreaction. Either way, it's great publicity.
"Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" will be released on August 22, 2014.
