Why nothing Robert Rodriguez says can be trusted:

I love Robert Rodriguez. Planet Terror, The Faculty, The Mexico Trilogy, Sin City, and From Dusk 'til Dawn are phenomenal movies. Rodriguez has started to dig himself into a hole though.

The man has gone on the record to several sources talking about upcoming projects. Things that he claims to be writing/directing, and says to have out within 6 - 18 months include: Sin City 2, Shorts, Machete, and Nerveracker. Not to mention the fact that he's supposed to be producing the Red Sonja remake at the same time.

Now you have all of these things he says should be out relatively soon, but don't forget to mention all the rumored projects he's supposedly signed on for with studios, these include: The Jetsons (Live Action), Barbarella remake and a remake/reboot of the Predator franchise.

There's no way that he can pull ALL of this off in two years, and he shouldn't be announcing all of these projects he's going to do if he's not going to deliver. Granted yes he probably will deliver but not at least for four to seven years. So if you hear about something Robert Rodriguez says he's doing, don't believe it til you see a trailer.
