That would be pretty awesome. Hell I wish they'd just go ahead and make films for all the faux trailers. It could be like the Saw series except instead of the whole movie leading up to the next installment, the faux trailers lay the groundwork for the next.

2. That's not what lee_hero said. He desired a string of double features with the subsequent releases based upon the trailers attached to the current ones. That hack Roth's idea was to make a whole bunch of cheezy trailers and bundle them together in a feature-length runtime. And don't say Um. 3. Yes. Thankfully dead. bonus comment: Trejo rocks. |

And don't say Um. |
Re: Machete
A lot of hate for Eli Roth around here. I thought Cabin Fever was brilliant and Hostel Part II was hilarious, although he's certainly egotastic.
|
Re: Machete
Eli Roth is an impy little douche who desperately clings to Tarantino's scrotum for fear of being seen as the hack he is. Cabin Fever was pretty good, but Hostel was weak and Hostel II was only marginally better.
That being said, bring on Machete! |

Re: Machete
Robert Rodriguez just does whatever the hell he wants to do, it seems, and what he wants to do now is Machete. (Or, more properly, that’s what he has money for right now.) That’s the feature film version of the trailer that ran as part of Grindhouse, featuring Danny Trejo as a bad-ass Mexi-can who takes revenge on greedy business types. Despite recent rumors about the film actually going forward I would have bet that Nervewrackers is next, but at CineVegas last week Danny Trejo told Gordon & the Whale that the film starts production in five weeks. (As noticed by the ever-vigilant Playlist.) More details after the jump. So not only is Machete happening, it is happening SOON, which jibes with reports we’d heard but weren’t ready to believe. In mid-March Rodriguez said it was “ready to go,” and he evidently meant it. Variety had previously reported that the film could be set to go as early as June of this year, and while it might actually be July, that’s pretty damn close. That report also said he’d be co-directing the film with editor Ethan Maniquis. Rodriguez wrote the script a while ago, and with financing available from the aptly-titled Overnight Productions it’s time to make it happen. Though I’ve soured on the Rodriguez style of late (OK, yeah, Planet Terror is a tasty Carpenter homage, but still) I’m hoping this will be something that invigorates him: a fast, cheap, dirty little movie about knives and violence, with a lot of off-the-cuff flesh and action. In addition, Trejo says he is not in Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables, just in case you were still hanging on to that casting rumor. Now I’m really mad at myself for not having the cajones to go up and talk to Trejo when I saw him hanging out alone outside the Jay-Z/Eminem party/show that Activision threw at E3 two weeks ago. but we'll see. |
Re: Machete
Trejo also confirmed that he had just spoken with filmmaker Robert Rodriguez who told him that production would begin on MACHETE in five weeks. |
Re: Machete
via bloody-disgusting.com:
Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis are teaming up to begin filming Machete on July 29th. They are co-directors. -DANNY TREJO is returning (obviously) as "Machete", the madman bent on revenge. -MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ is said to be playing "Luz". -JONAH HILL, the comedian who has starred in such films as Superbad and the forthcoming Adam Sandler comedy Funny People, will play "Julio". -Lastly, a legend of our time, ROBERT DE NIRO, will take on the role of "Senator McLaughlin". Machete (Trejo) is a Mexican ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day laborer, who is double-crossed by a corrupt state senator (De Niro). Obviously, keep this sucker filed under rumor until confirmed. cheech and jeff fahey better be returning as well... |
Re: Machete
Robert DeNiro? Are you freaking kidding me? It would be nice if they could have kept Fahey and Marin and just added DeNiro as a Federal legislator or the State Governor.
|
Re: Machete
Danny Trejo is at the London Film & Comic Con this weekend. I was gonna get my Heat poster signed by him. I do have that very nice JPN Grindhouse boxset but my Heat poster is always on display.
|
Re: Machete
Booo Hisss. Big stars takes away the grindhouse feel.
|
Re: Machete
Ugh. I hate Michelle Rodriguez. And as much as I like Jonah Hill, his inclusionhere seems very out of place. I'm ok with DeNiro, but we better be getting Fahey and Marin as well.
|
Re: Machete
Is this a joke? Who's financing this again? I was under the impression the Weinsteins only had $30 million left in their studio and that was going to release Inglorious Basterds and Halloween 2.
|
Re: Machete
I thought they are releasing Piranha 3D as well?
And Bloody disgusting is know for false info. I will file this casting under bullshit for now. |

Re: Machete
The Weinsteins should just fold into Universal and be done with it.

I'm curious to see who gets the rights to their films if they fold. Will rights revert to Miramax on selected properties? Would MGM get the rights (who Weinsteins partnered with on a majority of their theatrically released films)? Universal? Who knows. |
Re: Machete
I dunno. I hope Tarantino and Rodriguez go to Universal if anything goes wrong. Universal doesn't mind the weird shit sometimes. I'm sure they'd love Tarantino especially now...well for right now...hope Basterds gets some bank for them.
|
Re: Machete
I call bullshit
Also, hopefully the Weinstein Company goes out of business, H2 will probably decide that. |

Re: Machete
I've been trying to find out how to be an extra on the Machete movie. I've tried the usual places I've found work through before, but have not found any listings for this film.
