Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For won’t be out until August 22, 2014 but the studio has released a new trailer to give you an idea of what to expect: lots of stylized visuals and a shocking number of Hollywood elite.

The film stars: Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva Green, Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Josh Brolin, Jaime King, Lady Gaga, Ray Liotta, Jeremy Piven, Rosario Dawson… you know what? It might just be easier to list who is not in the film. Neither Brad Pitt nor George Clooney will appear. Pretty much everyone else in Hollywood will.

That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but the film is packed with stars. Like its predecessor, the movie will be broken up into standalone segments – four of them in this case. There are connections to the original 2005 film, as well as original stories. Two of the segments are taken from Frank Miller’s comic of the same name, while two are original to the film.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is written by William Monahan, along with Miller and Rodriguez.

The best Fallout New Vegas mods

The debate around which Fallout game is best typically comes down to either Fallout 3 or New Vegas. Whichever side you land on, there's no denying that New Vegas made the most out of what it had to work with. This game was originally made by Obsidian, not Bethesda, and it had a very short development time that resulted in a game in which the technical performance couldn't quite match its narrative and mechanical ambitions. While the core was still great, it has also been over a decade since the game came out, which makes those blemishes even more evident. Because fans took so well to what this entry was trying to do, mods have kept New Vegas alive and well to this day. From basic visual enhancements to new quests and locations, here are the best mods you can get for New Vegas.
NMCS Texture Pack

Honestly, New Vegas was never a looker. Even upon release, it was a bit behind the times in terms of graphical fidelity, and two generations later, it isn't aging all that well. The NMCS Texture Pack doesn't bring every aspect of the world up to a modern standard, but what it does upgrade is incredibly impressive. This mod completely retextures roads, environments, plants, vehicles, buildings, and more. What it won't change is how the sky, water, clothing, NPCs, weapons, and a handful of other things appear. It also does not work with any DLC. Still, the majority of things you will be seeing get a great visual buff here to help breathe new life into the wasteland.
