Robert Rodriguez, like his friend Quentin Tarantino, has a mysterious ailment that compels him to talk nonstop about upcoming projects that never seem to happen. He was at it again this week at a press conference, hyping no less than five upcoming movies.
What do you think the chances are that all five happen within the next few years?
Rodriguez’s line-up:
Predators
A re-boot of the Predator series that he will apparently both direct and produce.
Machete
A full-length version of the fake trailer included in Grindhouse’s theatrical release, which starred Danny Trejo as the title character and Cheech Marin as a gun-toting priest and sported the tagline “This time, they f***ed with the wrong Mexican.”
Nerverackers
An original sci-fi movie Rodriguez has had in mind for a few years, that’s currently set up at Dimension Films with an expected 2010 release date.
The Jetsons
Not much is known other than his name is attached.
Sin City 2
Supposedly, it will be based on Frank Miller’s Sin City story “A Dame to Kill For”, which sees Marv (Mickey Rourke) and Hartigan (Bruce Willis) team up. But Rourke’s schedule has gotten pretty busy and recently said “I don’t know, nor do I care” with regards to Sin City 2’s status.
Frankly, I’m most curious about Nerverackers, if only because the title is so cool.
