From Sin City to Spy Kids!

Eli Roth's Thanksgiving had a long road to travel from fake trailer to full movie, and it all came from a very personal place.

Members of the Alita Army shall are going to be very happy to hear Robert Rodriguez is continuing to stoke the fires surrounding a potential Alita 2.

Apparently Alita: Battle Angel helped Robert Rodriguez become a part of the Star Wars galaxy. But what are the odds that the favor could be returned?

Alita: Battle Angel's sequel may rest on a galaxy far, far away, thanks to The Book of Boba Fett.

Fall in line the thumb-thumbs!

The Spy Kids franchise is reportedly getting relaunched, and creator Robert Rodriguez is back to write and direct the film.

Lyon Daniels, who stars in the Robert Rodriguez hit, We Can Be Heroes, had the perfect nickname before signing on for the film.

At least one Robert Rodriguez is getting the fast track into development.

There's still hope for more Alita: Battle Angel, and it comes from the man himself.

We're getting closer by the second.

This is some pretty serious movement, Alita Army!

What do you do when you want to make a movie, but don't have any of the traditional resources to make a movie? You make the fucking movie anyway. Robert Rodriguez, born in Texas in 1968, loved cinema from a young age. The moment he could, he grabbed a camera and filmed everything he could in precociously cinematic style (it would be fair to call Rodriguez one of the chief "video store" auteurs; a director who got his style not from formal training, but from absorbing movie after movie after movie). In 1991, the college student Rodriguez made an …

Maybe this is what's holding the sequel up, too?

In 2001, if you were of a similar age as I, you were watching Spy Kids on a VHS over and over again, and having a dang great time. The iconic family film from the iconically multi-talented Robert Rodriguez stars Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara as the titular "kids whom are also spies," and they go on a globe-trotting adventure that also involves stars like Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Alan Cumming, Cheech Marin, and Danny Trejo.

One filmmaker helping out another.

Disney's celebration of all things Star Wars got kicked off yesterday with May the 4th, ie Star Wars Day. That auspicious beginning featured the series finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the premiere of the behind-the-scenes docu-series Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, and an announcement of the first new director to come aboard Season 2 of Disney+'s The Mandalorian itself. That's right, Ant-Man director Peyton Reed will join the crew for Season 2, but before today's "Revenge of the Fifth" took over the Star Wars celebration, another director joined the mix. Robert …

The director goes back to his roots for a streaming movie dropping this summer.
