Robert Rodriguez has found a few spare hours in his schedule to write/direct/cater the futuristic thriller "Nerverackers" for Dimension Films.  Dimension has already scheduled in the film for an April 16, 2010 release date which is silly because with the speed and efficiency which with Rodriguez works, the film will be ready to go by the time I finish writing this article.

According to Variety, the story is set in 2085 and focuses on a character named Joe Tezca who is part of an elite unit dispatched to quell a crime wave in a theoretically perfect future society.  I assume when they mean "perfect" they mean "crime-free".  Technically, this could still be true if nothing was illegal.  Sure, it would be wrong to butcher and eat toddlers (delicious, delicious toddlers) but perfectly legal. 

So if there's this "perfect society", why does this "elite unit" even exist?  Is it like "Demolition Man" where there's a police force but they don't really do anything and when they're faced with actual crime, they have to thaw out Sylvester Stallone?  I'm sure when Rodriguez invites his friends over to see his final cut this weekend, they'll have a better idea.

As for where this puts "Sin City 2" or his producing work on "Predator", if all my "He makes films fast" jokes haven't made the point yet—I wouldn't worry about those films.  They're just as close to being made today as they were yesterday.
