Miller's previous attitude towards movie adaptations was to change after [[Robert Rodriguez]] made a short film based on a story from Miller's ''[[Sin City]]'' entitled "[[List of Sin City yarns#The Customer is Always Right|The Customer is Always Right]]". Miller was pleased with the result, leading to him and Rodriguez directing a full-length film, ''[[Sin City (film)|Sin City]]'' using Miller's original comics panels as [[storyboards]]. The film was released in the U.S. on April 1, 2005.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Goldstein |first=Hilary |date=March 16, 2005 |title=Sin City: From Panel to Screen |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2005/03/16/sin-city-from-panel-to-screen |access-date=April 1, 2015 |website=IGN |archive-date=July 31, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160731121037/http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/03/16/sin-city-from-panel-to-screen |url-status=live }}</ref> The film's success brought renewed attention to Miller's ''Sin City'' projects.

In July 2011, while at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] promoting his upcoming graphic novel ''[[Holy Terror (graphic novel)|Holy Terror]]'', in which the protagonist hero fights [[Al-Qaeda]] terrorists, Miller made a remark about [[Islamic terrorism]] and [[Islam]], saying, "I was raised [[Catholic]] and I could tell you a lot about the [[Spanish Inquisition]], but the mysteries of the Catholic Church elude me. And I could tell you a lot about Al-Qaeda, but the mysteries of Islam elude me too."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Daniels |first=Hunter |date=July 23, 2011 |title=Comic-Con 2011: Frank Miller on ''Holy Terror'': 'I Hope This Book Really Pisses People Off' |url=https://collider.com/frank-miller-comic-con-holy-terror/ |access-date=April 8, 2013 |website=[[Collider (website)|Collider]] |publisher=[[Complex (magazine)|Complex Media]] |archive-date=August 25, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140825214633/http://collider.com/frank-miller-comic-con-holy-terror/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In November 2011, Miller posted remarks pertaining to the [[Occupy Wall Street]] movement on his blog, calling it "nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, fed by [[Woodstock]]-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness." He said of the movement, "Wake up, pond scum. America is at war against a ruthless enemy. Maybe, between bouts of self-pity and all the other tasty tidbits of narcissism you've been served up in your sheltered, comfy little worlds, you've heard terms like al-Qaeda and [[Islamism|Islamicism]]."<ref name="Frank Miller Ink">{{Cite news |date=November 7, 2011 |title=Anarchy I |work=Frank Miller Ink |url=http://www.frankmillerink.com/2011/11/anarchy |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111120013905/http://frankmillerink.com/2011/11/anarchy |archive-date=November 20, 2011 |quote='"Occupy" is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by [[Woodstock]]-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness.' |df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Mann |first=Ted |title=Frank Miller Doesn't Think Much of Occupy Wall Street |url=http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2011/11/frank-miller-doesnt-think-much-occupy-wall-street/44925/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120206142311/http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2011/11/frank-miller-doesnt-think-much-occupy-wall-street/44925/ |archive-date=February 6, 2012 |access-date=February 20, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=McVeigh |first=Karen |date=November 14, 2011 |title=Screenwriter Frank Miller calls Occupy protesters 'thieves and rapists' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/blog/2011/nov/14/frank-miller-occupy-movement-rant |access-date=February 20, 2012 |website=[[The Guardian]] |archive-date=October 1, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131001070203/http://www.theguardian.com/world/blog/2011/nov/14/frank-miller-occupy-movement-rant |url-status=live }}</ref> Miller's statement was criticised by fellow comic writer [[Alan Moore]].<ref>{{Cite web |year=2011 |title=The Honest Alan Moore Interview |url=http://www.honestpublishing.com/news/the-honest-alan-moore-interview-part-2-the-occupy-movement-frank-miller-and-politics/ |access-date=April 26, 2013 |quote="[The Occupy movement] is a completely justified howl of moral outrage and it seems to be handled in a very intelligent, non-violent way, which is probably another reason why Frank Miller would be less than pleased with it.
