So when I did Spy Kids 3D, I thought, oh, if I get Jim's cameras that he's done for these underwater 3D documentaries, I can make the first digital 3D film for theaters. And so I did, and it seemed like the easiest way was to utilize that when you put on the glasses when you go into a game world.

So there's a green screen, and we shot all the actors on a green screen for all the game stuff, and we could do a lot of 3D stuff coming at kids' faces when they're reaching. My 3D is not like the kind they have in theaters where it's very polite. Mine's like theme park 3D, where kids are doing like that, trying to grab. That's why it was such a big hit. Nobody does 3D like that.

But I wanted that. I want shit falling in people's laps, you know? So you remember, so you go, okay, this is why I'm wearing the glasses. You know, I'm wondering why. And when I went to go make my next movie, so this is how crazy this is. When we shot Spy Kids 3, remember actually how fast they came out? That was in the summer of 2003. A few months later, Once Upon a Time in Mexico came out.

Two number one movies, both were finishing trilogies of mine. And each one starred Antonio, Danny Trejo, Cheech Marin. When I was editing those at the same time, you'd be like, whoa, one movie they're killing people and the other ones are like with the kids going like, hey, family. So it was really, you know, fun.

It was fun to, it's easier to do very different things than to do like two action movies or two family movies at the same time. But I was like, okay, what's my next movie going to be? Shit, how crazy is this? Okay, so Antonio is on the set. I'm going to shoot him out in half a day for Spike is 3D because he's only in the last scenes. on the green screen, shoot him till lunch.

Okay, now go away, put on your Desperado outfit, because we owed some shots for Once Upon a Time Mexico on the green screen. He finished two trilogies in the same day. That's gotta be a first, if ever. No one's ever finished two trilogies in the same day. And it's just kismet. You know, it's just how it happened to happen that day was just luck or the universe or whatever.

But I needed to make it something new now. So I was looking through my bookshelves of inspiration and I picked up my Sin City books, which I've had, I used to be a cartoonist and I always loved how he drew that. Every time I'd see a different edition, I'd buy it, go home and go, oh, I already have this. I got like three copies of this already. And it would just always grab me by the throat.
