There's a character who appears in several "Sin City" stories whose name is Delia, though she's also known as "Blue Eyes."
In Miller's stylistic black and white with occasional splashes of color, Delia's eyes are always presented as blue, as is whatever she happens to be wearing (whenever she happens to be wearing anything at all).
As mentioned, Delia appears in several stories, but she appears most prominently in "Hell and Back," a lengthy story which Rodriguez and Miller had originally considered filming as the first SC movie.
Obviously they didn't go that route, but since Rodriguez has stated that he wants to film all of the "Sin City" yarns, and since the first movie did well enough to warrant a sequel (over $60 million so far), it seems likely that "Hell" will get made, and I've read that it's likely to be the first sequel.
Apparently Johnny Depp had been talked about for the lead role of Wallace during the initial plans, which, I think, is a good choice.
Beyond Wallace, though, I've found myself, every so often, imaginatively casting various other roles in the movie.
Beyonce, I think, would be ideally suited for the role of Esther, Wallace's love interest. Honestly, that one is pretty much a no-brainer.
But who, I wondered, would be best-suited for the role of the sexy, seductive, and deadly blue-eyed femme fatale that is Delia?
I've been at a loss to think of anyone.
Yesterday I mentioned how much I enjoyed looking at actress Monica Keena in "Freddy Vs. Jason."
She's actually become a sort of mini-obsession for me right now (a drawing of her is forthcoming), and while I was thinking about how cute she was in that awful movie, it occurred to me that she would be perfect for the part of Delia, as we can see below:
These aren't the best pictures of either Delia or Monica (while it should be obvious, I'll make it perfectly clear: Delia is on the left, Monica is on the right), but I think you can see that it wouldn't be much of a stretch for the petite, yet zaftig, Monica to portray the petite, yet zaftig, Delia.
Now if ayone reading this has any influence over the casting decisions made by Rodriguez, pass this along.
Of course, my dream casting wouldn't be complete unless Ms. Keena takes a less prudish approach to the character's frequent nudity than Jessica Alba did with Nancy...
