Sin City 2 Script Being Doctored By William Monahan
William Monahan’s script for Martin Scorsese’s THE DEPARTED did something that I’ve rarely seen happen with scripts based on earlier movies; it topped the source material with a blend of outrageous dialogue, strong character development and a hell of a twisted plotline. Which, by the way, wasn’t Monahan’s MO when he wrote the screenplay for KINGDOM OF [...]
Robert Rodriguez Teases Sin City Sequel Again
Another quick update this evening: Robert Rodriguez took to the stage at Comi-Con last month to discuss several new projects that he’s been at work on including a pair of sequels for MACHETE and work on the rumored but highly anticipated sequel to SIN CITY. Quoting an article written by The Infamous Billy The Kid late last [...]
Robert Rodriguez Announces That Machete Will Definitely Kill And Kill Again & Sin City 2 Is Close
Robert Rodriguez took to San Diego this year to have his own panel at Comic-Con in order to update everyone on what’s he up to, what he’s working on, what’s he developing and what you can expect from the filmmaker in the near future. He certainly didn’t disappoint with some of the big announcements he [...]
The New Spy Kids Is Seriously Going 4-D With Aromascope
Audiences are continuously getting more and more turned off by movies being shown in 3-D. The quality sucks on most. On others, it’s just completely unnecessary. Even as a believer in the 3-D format, Hollywood hasn’t been offering it up to add anything of any particular significance to a movie, other than a few bucks [...]
Deadpool Has A Director
20th Century Fox has taken a HUGE stride on their long proposed DEADPOOL spin-off, finally picking a director to steer the project and move it into production. After for quite some time and looking through a few other candidates, visual effects guru Tim Miller has gotten the nod, according to Deadline, which would mark his [...]
Amber Heard May Become Red Sonja For Simon West
A remake of RED SONJA has been in-development for quite some time, with Robert Rodriguez, at one point, being the driving force on the project, with designs on casting Rose McGowan in the lead, a role that was held by Brigitte Nielsen in the 1985 original. However, with Rodriguez long since gone from the film, [...]
Robert Rodriguez Has Written Machete Kills
It may have done just okay at the box office, but, if you think that means Robert Rodriguez is halting plans to move forward with 2 more sequels – MACHETE KILLS and MACHETE KILLS AGAIN – then clearly fucking with the wrong Mexican did something with your brain. But the best part of following up [...]
Joel McHale Married To Jessica Alba In Next Spy Kids Installment
Talk about a suspension of disbelief. How am I supposed to take any movie seriously when it requires me to accept Joel McHale (host of THE SOUP, star of COMMUNITY, and all-around goofy-looking guy) being married to super-hot, ultra-gorgeous Jessica Alba? Come on, Robert Rodriguez… Danny Trejo was a stretch. But now you’re crossing some [...]
The Kidd Vs. Machete
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD How does one put together one of the most wildly fun movies of the year, complete with over the top violence and gratuitous nudity, while at the same time hosting one of the most honest discussions on the issue of illegal immigration within the United States, presenting the sides of the argument [...]
Jessica Alba Set To Cause Kids’ First Boners In Spy Kids 4
What’s the target age for a SPY KIDS movie? 7 or 8 years old, 10 tops? Well, let’s say you’re that age, checking out the latest movie about kids that are spies, doing their kid spy thing, performing kid spy activities and actions, and you’re all into it. And then Jessica Alba walks onto the [...]
Robert Rodriguez Remains Non-Committal On Deadpool
There remains a great deal of uncertainty surrounding Fox’s planned spinoff for Deadpool. For a film that appeared to be an absolute following X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, the studio’s lack of urgency and basically their decision to drag their feet on development may wind up costing them dearly in not being able to make the movie [...]
Robert Rodriguez Is Already Thinking Machete Sequels
I’m not really sure to make of MACHETE. Don’t get me wrong… I absolutely cannot wait to check this one out. But, after seeing what happened to SCOTT PILGRIM last weekend, I don’t know how things are going to fare for Danny Trejo in his bad-ass starring role. After all, GRINDHOUSE was a disappointment for [...]
Robert Rodriguez Doing The Deadpool Spinoff Is More Than A Rumor
Back in June, that 20th Century Fox had marked director Robert Rodriguez as their #1 target to helm the DEADPOOL spinoff that seemed an almost certainty following the opening weekend numbers of X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. Well, it looks like all that talk about Fox offering up the gig to Rodriguez is more than just a [...]
7 Minutes Of Machete Available For Your Viewing Pleasure
As you know, The Kidd isn’t big on spoilers. Granted, I use them in my reviews all the time, because, in order to get in-depth with a film, a lot of times it is absolutely necessary to talk in detail about what did or didn’t happen in a movie. Plus, I give you a spoiler [...]
The New Machete Trailer Goes Red Band
This is absolutely the trailer that The Kidd has been waiting to see for MACHETE. A few doubts may have creeped into my head after the tone of the felt off, just not doing it for me with its slow build. But this one…? Wow… pure unadulterated violence, nudity, and all-around craziness… everything I was [...]
A Predators Sequel Is Now Part Of The Conversation
Don’t think you’re alone if you found the Robert Rodriguez-produced, Nimrod Antal-directed PREDATORS to be a severe disappointment this summer, truly unworthy of being a sequel to the Schwarzenegger original. The Kidd really hated it from the halfway point on, after a promising start, and I’m someone who actually went out to see, which isn’t [...]
Robert Rodriguez Admits That The Predators Trailer Lied Right To Your Face On Purpose
Robert Rodriguez is a director who makes movies for people who love movies. Whether it’s something for adults (DESPERADO or GRINDHOUSE) or even children (SPY KIDS), Rodriguez tries to draw you into his films as a fan first, and a critical mind second. But, as a producer, on PREDATORS, Rodriguez tossed all of that aside [...]
Let’s See More Machete With The New Trailer
No one is expecting MACHETE to be a great film, but it sure as hell should be entertaining. Robert Rodriguez’ next film, formulated from one of the fake trailers of GRINDHOUSE, will hit theatres on September 3, and, even with September traditionally being the month where the studios dump their shit, 20th Century Fox is [...]
What Would A Robert Rodriguez Deadpool Movie Look Like…?
X-Men fans collectively rolled their eyes at what was done to the character of Deadpool in X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, and, considering 20th Century Fox’s recent history with the X-Men franchise, there was little confidence that the studio would be able to pull off a Deadpool spin-off without it sucking. However, with the recent developments at [...]
