In a film of standout moments and colorful characters, Clive Owen was hard to forget as the noble Dwight in "Sin City." Dwight makes a few appearances in Frank Miller's "Sin City" comic world, so it would only make sense that Owen would reprise the role, even if his character repeatedly undergoes excessive transformations.

With the next Sherlock Holmes movie on the horizon, David looks at a few other literary heroes that deserve a fresh chance on the big screen…
Classic suspense heroes are getting a lot of Hollywood attention at the moment. Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows will be released in December, and Robert Downey Jr wants to similarly reinvent Perry Mason, while Miss Marple will apparently turn into Jennifer Garner.
Meanwhile, The Saint, as played by James Purefoy, will return to the small-screen in a TV movie called The Saint In New Orleans. With this in mind, here are a few other classic characters that could be similarly adapted.
Sexton Blake
Originally a Holmes pretender, this character evolved into a hybrid of Holmes, James Bond and Indiana Jones, going on to become the most documented fictional character in the history of the English language, with over two thousand stories and novels published.

Children of Men star Clive Owen is about to have a very fertile film year. The actor, who recently wrapped production on the Elizabeth sequel The Golden Age and toplines the action thriller Shoot 'Em Up opposite Monica Bellucci later this year, has inked a deal with Universal and Strike Entertainment to bring Raymond Chandler's classic noir detective Philip Marlowe to the big screen. Children producers Marc Abraham and Eric Newman optioned the rights to a series of Chandler mysteries and will produce untitled project with Chorion's Phil Clymer.
