Following the release of "We Can Be Heroes" on the Netflix streaming platform in December last year, director Robert Rodriguez did not allow much time to elapse before launching the "Book of Boba Fett" series, the latest addition to the "Starry" franchise. tracks ", which will be broadcast on" Disney + ".

However, it seems that Rodriguez does not have time to wait, nor does he allow himself to be left without engagement and empty-handed. His concert documentary about Billy Aylish "Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles" premiered on September 3 this year, and he recently announced that he was working on a new project.

Rodriguez has not yet revealed details about the plot of the film, but in an interview with "Collider", he said that the film will be an exciting experience for fans of Hitchcock and the thriller genre.

- The movie is like a Hitchcock thriller, but on steroids. - Rodriguez is joking. - That's all I can say. As soon as you watch the first trailer, you will say: “I understand! "I am there." The film is like that, it has many, many twists. It is very exciting. This is a "not-everything-you-see-is-true" type of film and has a great cast. It will be very energetic. This is one of my favorite stories. I started writing it in 2002. So, she is one of those that I have kept for a long time and I want to realize them for a long time. I am very excited that I will finally succeed in that.

After a few delays, the film crew will finally stand on the set

Rodriguez revealed that filming was due to begin in April last year, but the coronavirus pandemic delayed the process by six months.

However, with the return of the second strong wave of Covid-19, the shooting of the film was postponed again, so now Rodriguez and his crew "with crossed fingers" hope that the planned shooting will start smoothly in the planned fast time.

However, given the fact that the film is an independent project and is not currently affiliated with a major studio, plans may change.

- Now we are castrating. It was difficult to start casting until we knew for sure that we would be filming because the Delta variant appeared and we thought it would hinder the process again. - explains Rodriguez, adding that "Hypnotic" is an independently funded film. When you have an independent film, you must get insurance. Insurance companies are currently very cautious about this variant, which could interrupt the filming of the film, because it would mean that they would run out of money. So, it is understandable that this is a risk. So, the fact that we are continuing is really exciting. It will be fun to shoot and this will be a really fun movie.

If production starts soon as planned, Hypnotic is expected to hit theaters around the world in 2022.
