Can you edit this to include Sin City??
I'm voting for that.

Better not or it'll just throw the whole voting out of whack as almost everybody scrambles to change their vote to SIN CITY. ;D
We'll just have another Rodriguez poll sometime down the road. In the meantime, everybody just keep voting in this pre-SIN CITY poll.

Yeah, Sin City was great, but it still doesn't touch the awesomeness of El Mariachi and the fun of Desperado. I don't know, it's probably second on my list.

Okay then, until the next Rodriguez "best of" thread, I went with Dusk till Dawn.

I voted for the Mariachi trilogy with some reservations-Once Upon A Time In Mexico was a bit confused and I would love to see Desperado one day with the final gunfight reinstated,but as someone else said,what a great concept,the closest we'll probebly ever get to another Man With No Name trilogy {All Sergio Leone's movies are amongst my favorites].
Rodriguez is a bit derivative I think at times,but he makes fun films which don't pretend to be anything else. A good example is The Faculty,it borrows from everything from Invasion Of The Body Snatchers to The Thing,but it's great fun.

One-man moviemaking machine Robert Rodriguez did a chat at DVDFanatic tonight and answered questions about some of his upcoming projects.
Grind House
“We officially start end of January, but I sometimes get ahead of myself and start shooting stuff anyway. I had some actors come down and we shot 3 days of tests that will end up being in the movie. I was testing cameras, and thought we might as well be productive and shoot something useable. It’s going to be a really fun movie.
Quentin is very into it, also”.
Sin City 2
“Frank Miller is busy adding on to the storyline of DAME TO KILL FOR. That would be the next Sin City movie. As for a TV Series, I think that was just Miramax talk. We haven’t' discussed actually doing that. What I like about DAME TO KILL FOR is that it has a lot of characters from SIN CITY in it... Marv is still alive, Dwight doesnt have his new face yet, Gail is in it, Goldie AND Wendy are in it as twin sisters... Miho... new characters as well. it felt like if we could expand on that story and make it bigger overall, that'd be our best choice for a sequel.”
Desperado 3
“It was always supposed to be just a trilogy, but Antonio [Banderas] and I joke about doing one maybe in 30 years, when the mariachi is older and more, uh.. rotund. that could be really fun.”

Funny. I always thought Once Upon a Time in Mexico rounded out the trilogy.
1. El Mariachi
2. Desperado
3. Once Upon a Time in Mexico
I might be wrong.

What's Grindhouse supposed to be about?
It will also include its own trailers, bonus materials and added extras from other filmmakers that will be packaged together between the two horror flicks in a tribute to the old, big-city movie houses like those on New York's 42nd Street |

Ahh okay...
So, call me stupid, but what's the definition of Grindhouse Cinema...?
I'm sure 42nd would be more than happy to ablige me on that one....

Funny. I always thought Once Upon a Time in Mexico rounded out the trilogy. It does. I think he meant that those three are the trilogy that WOULDN'T be a trilogy if he made another one. ;D Or something to that effect. Of course, I'm sure he was joking about making another one. |

What's Grindhouse supposed to be about? Tarantino's story - Death Proof - will be a slasher movie, Tarantino says; "It's just that we're replacing a knife with a car here". Rodriguez's Planet Terror will be about zombies. Quent also said that some of the previews for unmade movies that will be a part of Grind House may eventually become segments of Grind House 2. Stuff to wait for, huh? |

Time to bring this thread back from the dead. Just read this and thought it was pretty interesting:
The Predator sci-fi movie franchise is heading back to its roots - by rebooting the original Arnold Schwarzenegger film.
The hit 1987 movie was brought back for a second time three years later in Predator 2, with Danny Glover in the starring role.
But the movie monster was borrowed by the Alien franchise in 2004's Alien vs. Predator - combining the deadly creatures from both 1980s films. The mix-up was brought back in 2007 for Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.
And now director Robert Rodriguez has announced the series is set to continue with a new solo outing for the dreadlock-sporting alien hunter.
Rodriguez has written the script for the movie - titled Predators - and will begin shooting after he completes work on his latest film project, Machete, according to Variety.com.
Personally, after the two awful ALIEN VS PREDATOR movies, I wouldn't mind seeing Rodriguez take a crack at doing the character some justice.

Haven't yet see the Rodriguez-produced Predators, but have seen Machete recently and consider it my favourite Rodriguez film so far. What about you, guys?
