Yeah, he was credited as a co-director on Sin City, but I for one don't believe that he really exhibited any directorial skills on that project. I have no doubt in my mind that that was just an honorary title bestowed upon him by Rodriguez because he wanted Frank to let him make a movie about his comic. Sure he was there on set every day and helped make some decisions and acted as a consultant on the material, but anything more than that? I dunno. This is not to say that his first outing as a solo director won't be great because, well, stranger things have happened, I suppose. However, I don't think I can personally trust him to make a particularly good film on his own until we see what he's got. At this point I'll say that Raymond Chandler and Clive Owen have me interested and perhaps a bit excited, but Frank Miller's attachment to this project doesn't help the cause any in my eyes, and may well turn out to in fact harm it.

I love noir films, and I too hope they keep it in the '40s setting. I'm still wondering about Frank Miller as a solo director, but Owen and Miller on a noir again is good enough for me.
