Robert Rodriguez Talks ‘Sin City 2.’ Money and Script Coming Together. Sure.

When the first Sin City came out, everyone was all “Oh hey sick!,  Rodriguez is going to be making a sequel! Totally gnarly.” It was so long ago that gnarly was in fashion. Since then we’ve been waiting. And waiting. And waiting. While he makes Spy Kids 4D: Jessica Alba’s Stretched Poon.

Well, now it’s really maybe sort of coming. So says  Rodriguez.

Slashfilm:

Speaking to We Got This Covered, Rodriguez said,

Sin City 2 is going good, we’re just finishing the script for that, we already got the money. We have everything we need so we can just start shooting as soon as we get the pages. And it’s the same thing for Machete 2. We’ve already got the budget, just waiting for the script. As soon as we’re finished writing we get to start the shoot.

I suppose we’ll see, no? I haven’t seen the first flick in a while, and I’m worried about how it’ll hold up. I recall enjoying it quite a lot, but I wonder if once the visual pomp and circumstance wears off, there’s nothing much behind it.
