Sin City’s Getting Studly

The powers that be working on Sin City: A Dame to Kill For weren’t happy with just upping the sequel’s hip factor by casting Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a key role, they also want its stud index to blow through the roof.

So to ensure this happens they have turned to Christopher Meloni.

The former SVU and True Blood star is joining the project as a safe-to-assume-crooked cop.

Mmm...Meloni and cuffs. Rough cuffs. There’s a thought for ya.

Oh, and btw: Josh Brolin is on board, too, as the younger version of Clive Owen’s character.

Just go with it.
