"Mexico"/"Mariachi" Tilogy planned for 2010

[anomynous]

Robert Rodriguez has confirmed that all three movies from his "Mexico Trilogy" –or "Mariachi Trilogy"– ('El Mariachi', 'Desperado' and 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico') will be released in 2010 and that he's been personally involved in the project. At this early stage there is no information as to whether the titles will be released individually or as part of a trilogy box set.

'Desperado' was one of the titles announced by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in January 2006 as part of the first wave of Blu-ray releases by the studio, and has often appeared on SPHE's trailers to promote the format.


He also confirmed that the 'Mariachi' trilogy will be released on Blu-ray next year, and that there will be something new included on the discs.

"There’s something we’re working on," said Rodriguez. "I can’t say what it is...I know its no fun when you don’t say anything but I just can’t."


Can't wait

FINALLY!!!

Although I hope they release these films seperately as well as a trilogy pack. While I enjoyed Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico a great deal, I can't say the same for El Mariachi. While the film (Mariachi) has some memorable moments the whole thing just looked like a college project filmed on a Sony Hi8 analog camcorder. Regardless this is good news for fans of all three films!

That's weird, because it was shot on 16mm film.

That's because it was made for $7000 by Rodriguez himself

and if a mod could fix the title to put an R in trilogy, that would be appreciated

Technically, the version we saw cost WAY more than $7,000. Sure, he shot it for that, which pretty much covered the discounted film stock and developing. But when the studio bought it, they re-transferred the film and cleaned it up, re-did the sound, music, etc. The $7,000 is a fallacy.

Once upon a time in Mexico will be mine day 1. Desperado I'll get eventually.

I agree for the most part, all though I think they're all pretty good in their own right. Once Upon a Time is my favorite by a large margin, though. I'll be watching that first.

love these movies, fantastic news

IMHO Desperado was much better than Once Upon a time in Mexico. I can't stand Johnny Depp, but regardless, it was not the same fun ride.

Can't wait, three great movies hope they get a great transfer
