Dimension Films has set Oct. 4, 2013 for its sequel to Sin City, Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller are co-directing the movie, which is scheduled to shoot this summer in Austin, home of Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios.

Much of the cast from the first movie is expected to return, including Mickey Rourke, whose character Marv was killed in the 2005 movie.

A hunt is on for actors to fill in the new roles.

The movie will once again be made in the same black-and-white and highly stylized format, though this time the movie will be in 3D.

The film will be released by Dimension Films in the U.S. and Canada, and produced by Quick Draw Productions, AR Films, Miramax and Solipsist.
