Writer/director Robert Rodriguez impressed critics, audiences, and filmmakers with his first feature El Mariachi, a low-budget throwback to old westerns that combined violent action and wry humor. Upcoming projects include a screenplay for a live-action Jonny Quest, and jumping into the director?s chair for Alita: Battle Angel and the Escape from New York remake. STX Entertainment is hoping Rodriguez can kick off another series of films to launch their new family and animation division. As Deadline reports, the director has been brought on to helm the animated film Ugly Dolls, based on a collection of goofy monster-like dolls, action figures, and comic books created by David Horvath for Pretty Ugly LLC.
