THR is reporting that Sin City: A Dame to Kill For officially began shooting today in Austin, Texas. The sequel has been in development for a long time and is now finally on track for its 2013 release date.

We've also learned of the addition of two more cast members to the film. First up, we will officially see the return of Jaime King, who portrayed Goldie and Wendy in the first film and reprises her role as Wendy in the sequel. Jamie Chung will also be stepping into the shoes worn by Devon Aoki in the first film for the role of deadly little Miho. THR also points out that many roles in the film still remain unfilled at this time, so we should expect more details on those very soon.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For was developed by Frank Miller based upon his graphic novel, with a screenplay by Miller and Academy Award winner William Monahan (The Departed). Robert Rodriguez and Miller are directing the October 4, 2013 release.
