(DARK HORIZONS) An entertainment reporter from Chile who recently scored a visit to the Desperado set which he eagerly checked out and wrote in this scoop. Some of the English ain't crash hot - but the info is.

Last weekend I was in Mexico for a interview with Antonio Banderas and Robert Rodriguez. They ate in San Miguel de Allende, in the last days of shooting Once Upon a Time in Mexico, the new Mariachi movie. Rodriguez used high definition cameras, and said that he will only use digital cameras for his pictures from now on. The shoot took place this week in the city of Guanajuato, and in August Rodriguez begins to shoot the sequel from Spy Kids. I talk with him and he told me that he had several projects, including a 'cool horror movie'. He said "Predator 3" will be not be realised. He wrote "a very expensive script" with the action set on the planet of the predators and had a Gladiator-style story.

I interviewed Antonio Banderas too, and he has a lot of movies in his future again. Shooting on Femme Fatale is over, as is Once Upon a Mexico. He did a special appareance in Frida, the movie where Salma Hayek is the star and the producer. Banderas plays Siqueiros, another artist and antagonist of Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), Frida's husband.

Banderas said that he goes to England for a new movie (a dramatic history about a deformer ex soldier of the Spanish Civil War that hide in a lighthouse where a little girl is his only friend). Later, he will be in two others sequels: Spy Kids 2 and The Zorro 2.

He also wants to direct his second film in Spain and has plans to work again with his friend Pedro Almodovar.
