So what, in the movie Gally will just be a prime hunter and motorball player at the same time? It could go fine I guess, wonder if they'll manage to put Nova in it. Makaku probably won't be in it though. Hope they'll have the time to properly show off Jashugan.

Let me guess, it'll be another version of the cave troll, just like with every other "monstrous" villain.

Man, there used to be a time when the name Robert Rodriguez made me excited to see a movie.
Desperado is one of the best action films of all times, From Dusk till Dawn and Sin City are both crazy fun.
But he became one lazy asshole in recent years.
The problem is also that if the cgi is done in house by his own studio, it will look terrible. The only reason it looked "okay" in Sin City is because the whole thing was meant to seem artificial and stylized as fuck.

If you can't trust the director of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3D, who can you trust, am I right?
