Hot on the heels of news that Frank Miller’s people are shopping around “Sin City 2,” (wait, Weinstein rights lost or not?) in Austin, Robert Rodriguez stirred the pot a little more; and frankly, we’re pretty sure it’s on purpose, as it was in Austin, to adoring press fans press.
“I’m going to be able to shoot my upcoming ‘Machete’ here, a sci-fi action film called ‘Nerveracker,’ a re-boot of the Predator series called ‘Predators,’ and a couple of smaller movies called ‘Sin City 2’ and ‘The Jetsons.’ ”
All this news is old in one form or another, but teasing “Sin City 2” is definitely a tease. He basically already said the order goes “Nervewrackers” “The Jetsons” and then… We’re doubtful he’s going to direct “Machete” or ‘SN2‘ for the record. But who knows, things change.
Just remember, a few short months ago Rodriguez said more tellingly, “I always say [‘Sin City 2”s] right around the corner, because that’s what everybody wants to hear and I like pleasing the audience.”
