Rodgriguez Quits Dga

Maverick director [Robert Rodriguez](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/robert-rodriguez) has quit America's DIRECTORS GUILD (DGA) so he can turn graphic novel [Sin City](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/sin-city) into a film alongside the comic's creator.

The [Spy Kids](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/spy-kids) filmmaker wants to co-direct the movie with FRANK MILLER - the writer and illustrator of Sin City - but DGA rules dictate only one director can helm a movie at any given time.

So Rodriguez has decided to walk away from the DGA.

He says, "I didn't want Frank to be treated just as a writer, because he is the only one who has actually been to Sin City."

Rodriguez also hopes to add pal [Quentin Tarantino](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/quentin-tarantino)'s name to the list of directors for the film.

It's not the first time Rodriguez has quit the DGA - he left in 1994 so he could take part in Tarantino's flop [Four Rooms](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/four-rooms).
