Robert Rodriguez and Antonio Banderas are making a career out of working together. And their careers are about to get longer by a film.

No, they're not working on the sequel to Spy Kids (that will come soon enough), rather, the two Hollywood heavyweights are getting back to their roots to film the third movie in Rodriguez' Mariachi series of films. Once Upon A Time In Mexico picks up where Desperado left off.

As of right now, Quentin Tarantino and Salma Hayek are scheduled to reprise their roles. They will be joined by series newcomer Mickey Rourke.
