Rodriguez, who credits Miller's visual style in the comic as relevant as his own in the film, insisted that Miller receive a "co-director" credit with him. The Directors' Guild of America would not allow it. As a result, Rodriguez resigned from the DGA, saying "I didn't want Frank [Miller] to be treated just as a writer because he is the only one who has actually been to 'Sin City'. I am making such a literal interpretation of his book that I'd have felt weird taking directing credit without him. It was easier for me to quietly resign before shooting because otherwise I'd be forced to make compromises I was unwilling to make or set a precedent that might hurt the guild later on." Unfortunately, by resigning from the DGA, Rodriguez was also forced to relinquish his director's seat on the film Princess of Mars, A (2006) for Paramount. Rodriguez had already signed-on and been announced as director of that film when the DGA situation took place, planning to begin filming soon after wrapping this film.

Robert Rodriguez scored Kill Bill for $1. Quentin Tarantino said he would repay him by directing a segment of Sin City (2005) for $1.

Robert Rodriguez directed parts of the scene in Pulp Fiction (1994) where Quentin Tarantino appears as Jimmy. (Rodriguez was uncredited for his directing.)

    George Lopez will star in Robert Rodriguez's family film The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D for Dimension Films, reports Variety.

    Rodriguez wrote the script and is directing the film, which has already received a release date on June 10, 2005. Lopez will be joined by newcomers Taylor Dooley, Taylor Lautner and Cayden Boyd.

    The movie is about a 10-year-old outcast shunned by classmates and forced to spend summer vacation alone. With his two imaginary friends (the title characters), he goes on a mission to prove dreams can become reality.

    Rodriguez is shooting the film at his Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas, where he and Frank Miller just directed Sin City, to be released April 1.
