Speaking with ComicBookMovies posted on Friday, Rodriguez talked about how he has garnered enough respect in Hollywood to take some risks with his films and how the whole Hollywood system is a crazy game.

"Someone else created the Hollywood system and the business, but for a creative person, it really doesn't make a lot of sense," Rodriguez said.

"You have to have a little incubator of ideas where you can feel free to fail, feel free to take a chance on something," he continued. "You can't always go to a studio and say, 'Hey, let me go borrow your soundstage, and I don't even know why. I have an idea. Let me feel it out.' They'd say, 'Get out of here.'"

When Rodriguez went back to Sin City, he knew that he wanted to do more with the title than just going through the motions. In this film, he wanted to push the limits.

"The first film, I didn't push it as far because I thought people wouldn't understand what they were looking at," Rodriguez said.

"It would be too distracting, it would be too strange. And then people thought it was visually groundbreaking. I was like, 'Oh my God, I didn't even go all the way with it.'"

With the second movie, Rodriguez said that he wanted to go bigger and bolder with the content and feels that he has assembled a cast that was able to find that.

"I wanted to go further towards what the books originally offered," Rodriguez said. "When you have a property like this that's magical, you want to do right by it."

Sin City 2 opens in theaters on August 23.
