Robert Rodriguez is said to be lining up an all star cast for a movie version of Frank Miller's Sin City graphic novel series.

Hollywood Reporter says Leonardo DiCaprio, Bruce Willis, Elijah Wood, Mickey Rourke, Brittany Murphy, Kate Bosworth and Jaime King have all been offered parts.

Some have already signed while others are only in discussions or have just received offers to join the cast of the Dimension Films project.

Other names said to be in the frame include Benicio Del Toro and Maria Bello.

Set to start shooting shortly, Sin City will be composed of three intertwining vignettes revolving around a dark set of characters.
