Director Robert Rodriguez sat down with the folks from Cinemablend while in Austin for SXSW, and filled them in on his latest plans and upcoming projects.
The big news is that Rodriguez's film Machete is ready to roll - if he can get the financing. In Hollywood, as we know, a director is only as valuable as his last movie - and Rodriguez's Grindhouse was less than impressive at the box office.
Rodriguez also said Sin City 2 is "just around the corner," but went on to say, basically, that he's just saying that to keep people happy.
Gomez is amazed by the how little leeway Latino creatives are given in Hollywood if they have one flop, compared to, say, someone like Kevin Costner, who can flop for a decade and still get greenlit for new projects. Gomez is, however, aware that male Hispanic creatives get much more leeway than Latina creatives, who simply tend not to be let in the door. Right Mrs. Longoria-Parker?
