Robert Rodriguez Might Be Working On A Project That Combines All His Film Franchises

Robert Rodriguez has often hinted in his films that Spy Kids, The Mexico Trilogy, From Dusk Til Dawn, Grindhouse and Machete all take place within the same universe, but he's never pulled the trigger in attempting to bring them all together. That may soon change, as the director revealed in an interview with Cinema Blend he might be doing just that in the near future:

I have [thought about that] very many times for different mediums. Yeah, for sure. You may see something soon! I've definitely been aware of the connections all the characters could have in that world, in their own range of kind of larger than life superheroes. I definitely have been looking at it in the comic world. There was a comic company that wanted to do something with me, and I suggested that very thing, and they love that idea.

A comic book sounds like the right way to go, because I can't even imagine how Rodriguez could pull off a film of that magnitude! Still, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't purchase a ticket to see the effort, so maybe Rodriguez does a comic book series for awhile and then he tries bringing an adaptation of that to theaters or television? I'd be all for it! What about you?
