Nerveracker Is Coming - Will Robert Rodriguez Be Directing?
I don’t think we will ever see aSin City 2, but I guess I should never say never. All the same, it won’t be coming anytime soon –Robert Rodriguezhas such a full slate, including the ever-expanding list of projects he’s producing but not directing.
The latest project to be linked to him is the mysteriousNerveracker. The first whiffs of this mystery project appeared onBox Office Mojo, and apparently they initially listed Rodriguez as director, but no distributor or production company information was given. Then the distributor appeared, and Rodriguez' name disappeared…
Distributor: Weinstein / Dimension – Release Date: June 26, 2025
Genre: Unknown – Running Time: N/A
MPAA Rating: Not Yet Rated – Production Budget: N/A
So, not a fat lot.Fantastictitle, though. It looks as thoughFangoriawere the only folks to have caught the Box Office Mojo page with both directoranddistributor named.
The most interesting component, I suppose, is the appearing-disappearing Rodriguez factor. I honestly expected he’d never work with the Weinsteins again. When he set upShorts, his next kids picture, now in post production for Warners, I thought the coffin was well and truly nailed.
Nerverackerwas mentioned by theLA Timesback in 2001, as part of a slate of Weinstein films in development. All of the others –Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back,The OthersandImpostor– have long since been completed and released. There was a tiny bit of extra information there: thatNerverackeris a “chiller”. Can it really have been in development this long and a screenplay not have leaked? Seems so.
ThisNerverackeris, if nothing else, a well kept secret but if it really is due to hit cinemas next April, it won’t be able to evade the news for too much longer. Even at this stage, however, the hope for another great film from Rodriguez (he definitely crashed down from the peak ofSin City) makes it all kind of exciting to me.
