Back in 2007 we were treated to Grindhouse a faux double feature event featuring two films directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino respectively that also featured fake trailers for similar explotation style movies by other famous directors (Eli Roth, Rob Zombie, and Edgar Wright). One of the standout “trailers” from Grindhouse was for Machete and now the pissed off Mexican is really heading into production with an all-star cast!
Robert Rodriguez; who will serve as Co-Director along side Ethan Maniquis (his long time editor) 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 spin-off action flick, Machete.
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 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 Machete.
