'Machete': Weirdest Cast Ever?
It started as a joke, but one of the fake trailers from 2008's "Grindhouse" is becoming a real movie. Robert Rodriguez, the director of "Desperado," "Sin City" and the "Spy Kids" trilogy, has begun work on "Machete," which began as a preview that ran before his "Planet Terror" segment of the double-feature he made with Quentin Tarantino.

For the full-length movie, Rodriguez has assembled one of the most eclectic casts ever: Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez, Don Johnson and Lindsay Lohan. They will join the stars of the original trailer: Danny Trejo, Jeff Fahey and Cheech Marin.
In the movie, Machete (Trejo), a former Mexican Federales, is hired to assassinate a corrupt senator (De Niro). But then he is double-crossed and pursued by a government agent (Alba). Lohan plays a gun-wielding socialite who comes to Machete's aid, and Seagal plays a drug lord from his past. Filming has already begun in Austin, TX, and it will most likely hit theaters next year

pumped for this

awesome...i laughed my ass off during the "preview", and rodriguez can make a damn good movie.

tivo'd

Can't wait!

Awesome. I'm going tp petition Rodriguez to give a bit part however small to the immortal Reggie Bannister.

no way? REALLY? Yayyyyyyy!!! Can't wait!

"they just FUCKED with the wrong Mexican!"

hahahaha, i love it

can that kick any more ass?

fuck that film Weirwolf women of the SS!

Weirwolf women?

Were they Jewesses in their prior state?

I mean, it could make sense in this particular context, but that's really hyperextending my suspension of disbelief.

I hope Alba and Lohan scissor in it.

Fuckin' sweet!
