Machete the movie

[Majik1387]

No. [A]

 

[Casius--J]

Finally, i've been waiting for this film for over two years now. Cast is looking good, just need a release date and i'll be happy.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I guess she learned her lesson after the love guru.

Romany Malco deserved better after his role in "The 40-Year Old Virgin."

And I would think that Michelle Rodriguez would get tired of playing the "tough girl who carries a gun" but I guess not (that's what I assume her role is going to be in the movie and in Avatar).

Oh and Cheech Marin in the movie as the gun toting priest from that trailer = Win!

 

[Nirvana]

Oh man, awesome awesome cast. I cannot wait for this!

 

[bubbadoom]

I just hope Lohan get's them out!

 

[rdh007]

Who from that list could possibly play the bad guy's wife and daughter that Machete has so much fun with? That scene must be in the movie. It clearly shows Machete's more sensitive side.

 

[Kanon]

Well, the first thing I thought about when I heard about Lohan, was the daughter...

 

[CELTICPRED]

Okay, good casting news.

**subscribes**

 

[[A]]

Hmm Lohan. Possibly crack w**re (I mean, playing one in the movie -- I'm not saying she's one in real life, relax mods)

Anyway, stay tuned for some..

Spoiler

freebies!!

 

[Watchman]

Steven Seagal?

This will be the greatest movie ever

 

[[A]]

OK, the freebies -- these are made from the fake trailer -- and I didn't try to make them look any better, which adds to the effect (not that the Machete movie will actually look anything like that, of course)

Spoiler

If you want any of these in smaller sizes, quote the right one and ask

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Hey, who doesn't like freebies.

 

[BloodyWolverine]

It could be cool but somehow feel that The Expendables will still Pawn it.

Jessica Alba as the wife and Lindsay Lohan as the daughter.

He gets the ladies.

Official 'Machete' Press Release Adds More Details, Cast

Robert Rodriguez has cast Jessica Alba (Sin City), Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez (Fast & Furious), Lindsay Lohan ("Mean Girls), Cheech Marin ("Once Upon a Time in Mexico), Jeff Fahey (Lost), Don Johnson and Steven Seagal (Under Siege) alongside Danny Trejo in the highly anticipated spin-off action flick, Machete. The film is based on the "fake" trailer in Rodriguez’s 2007 GRINDHOUSE, featuring Trejo and Fahey reprising their original roles. MACHETE is being produced by Rodriguez who is the co-director with Ethan Maniquis, his long time editor. Rodriguez and Overnight Productions announced today that shooting is gearing up out of Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.

MACHETE was originally a hard-edged trailer featured in GRINDHOUSE that became fanboy fodder since its first showing at the 2006 Comic-Con. "Machete had become my most requested movie and I never actually made it, so when the opportunity arose to answer the call with such an amazing cast, I jumped." said Rodriguez.

The feature version of the trailer finds Machete (Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (De Niro) a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Marin) his “holy” brother, and April (Lohan) a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.

Rodriguez who also penned the script will serve triple duty as Producer with Elizabeth Avellán of Troublemaker Studios, and Rick Schwartz, Aaron Kaufman, and Iliana Nikolic of Overnight Productions, who will also provide the film's financing.

[Nivek]

Cool, I hope Robert "grinds" this out.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

The Agent character Alba is playing kinda sounds like the Agent character Depp played in Once Upon a Time In Mexico.

 

[gwynplaine]

My favourite trailer in Grindhouse and Danny Trejo is the man. I might see this.

Then start using one of my avvies

I would, your avvies rock (where are the Full Metal Jacket ones you promised a while ago ?), but I like Conrad Veidt even more than Danny Trejo.

I have to *get* the movie first -- I own the dvd, but my rips suck. Just.. be patient (I plan to do a massive Kubrick-movies-avatar-uh, thing)

Good things come to those who wait.
(Looking forward to it.)

 

[Nightmare]

Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Alba? All in one movie!? Whoa

 

[The Chris]

It sounds like Jeff Fahey is playing the same character as in the trailer. People were speculating that De Niro was gonna play that role. Cool.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

Antonio Banderas should give Rodriquiz a call...he needs a career comeback...
