Sin City 2 movie rights?

Has Dimension Films lost the rights to make the sequel to Sin City?! Does this mean it won't be a Robert Rodriguez film?! Please say it ain't so! Sin City was an incredible movie and I have really been looking forward to the sequel. I love the comics by Frank Miller and Rodriguez's adaptation to film was simply brilliant. The best adaptation of comic to film I've seen. But this article from Hollywood Reporter sure makes it sound like rights to the movie are up for grabs:

The sequel rights to "Sin City," Frank Miller's popular noir comic, are being shopped around Hollywood, in what appears to be a sign that Dimension Films has lost rights to the property.

The Weinstein Co./Dimension continue to maintain that they hold the rights to any sequel for the Robert Rodriguez film, which grossed $159 million worldwide when it came out in 2005.

But producers say they have been shopped the rights by reps for Miller's estate, who they say are seeking a new place to set up a potential follow-up.

Wait a minute... "Miller's estate"?! Frank Miller is still alive! Hopefully this is all just "hogwash" like the TWC attorney says. Time will tell.

Say a prayer today for Sin City 2.
