I wonder what they're going to do for a trailer. Re-edit up the fake one?

Rodriguez was able to make Fergie look attractive in Planet Terror, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt with Lohan.

It's a Grindhouse flick...how serious can you take it? If Rodriguez can make grindhouse trash, ie Planet Terror, good...he can make Lohan be useful.

She still looks like Mickey Rourke with nicer boobs.

looks like the rumored cast is true (i thought some denied it) I hope all the parts from the fake trailer end up in the feature movie

Anyone else think it is a little too obvious from the description of Jessica Alba's character that

Spoiler:
she is Danny Trejo's (Machete's) daughter?


I could be wrong about that, but if the synopsis is accurate I can't imagine that it will be something other than that. Hopefully it isn't as obvious as it seems though.

I just happened to see the cast list on iMDb. This is going to be awesome! I was also surprised to see its in post-production already.

Nope, they want this movie to actually make money.

I believe that was an HMV exclusive with the Japanese Grindhouse box. I'm still looking for one.

You can buy the poster at MovieGoods.com or on Ebay. I just bought one for $18 shipped from the MovieGoods Ebay store.

Is this really coming out on 4/16?


There's not even a "real" trailer yet, if they're even going to do one

Fox won a bidding war for domestic distribution rights, and possibly Rodriguez's future endeavors.

All six interested studios screened about 15 to 30 minutes of footage. Newman's proposal was for $9 million upfront, no P&A commitment but the guarantee of a wide release, and a big backend gross participation for Rodriguez. (I'm told in the 10%-12% neighborhood.) Both Fox and Paramount said yes, and then, in an unusual move, Newman went back to the two studios and asked for more gross percentage and an overall production deal for Rodriguez.

Paramount balked, so did Fox. But Fox reminded everyone that it was already very much in the Robert Rodriguez business making Predators, and Tom Rothman really wanted him to have a home there, and Rodriguez and Rothman get along well, so a deal was clinched.

I don't trust Rothman. I assume with all that in that quote, Rodriguez gets the same extension of liberties that we know him as but now with Fox? yes, I can hope.

Looks like Lindsay Lohan will be appearing nude in this (for those who care) -- can't say I'm surprised.

I guess this will meet Fox's quota of one R rated movie a year.

Is it true Todd Bridges and Gary Coleman have cameos in the film as Willis and Arnold?

well if he shot all the scenes that appear in the fake trailer, it would easily get an R, as there was alot of gore, and theres always the scene where Machette is with the 2 naked women in the water

Seantn 01-30-10 04:45 PM
Re: Machete
 
Are they basing the Lohan nude thing solely off of the fact that in the fake trailer, her character (not played by her) was nude? They're kind of jumping to conclusions if that's all they're going off of. As far as I could see, the website listed didn't provide any other proof than that.

Machete not coming until Fall? Fake Trailers?

“Set in 1975, it will feature Tim Roth as Agent Ringo Orange, a British soldier who wants to restart the Vietnam war. Roth will share the screen in the trailer with Rick Yune, who will play Li Chan, Orange’s South Vietnamese sidekick. It will also star Sacha Baron Cohen as Colonel Weathers, and Stacy Keach as Doc Franklin, the rumoured antagonist.”
And from the original source, which elaborates a bit more on the background:


Machete will be released in the fall of 2010 by 20th Century Fox. Following his split with Rose McGowan, Rodriguez did not produce the “Cherry Darling” trailer as intended. Instead, the film will be bookended by trailers: preceding the film will be a fake trailer by Quentin Tarantino, to be filmed in March 2010, called “Agent Orange”, following a British Soldier (in 1975) who plans to re-start the Vietnam War. The trailer will feature Tim Roth as “Agent Ringo Orange”, the Soldier with a Vengaence; Rick Yune as “Li Chan”, his South Vietnamese Sidekick; Stacy Keach as “Doc Franklin”, the supposed villain; and Sacha Baron Cohen as “Colonel Weathers”, the hotheaded former commanding officer. The trailer following the film will be “Die, Machete, Die!”, directed by Ethan Maniquis, as a proposed sequel to Machete starring Danny Trejo as “Machete” and Til Schweiger as “The Human Savage”.
Tarantino directed fake trailer, and a trailer for Machete 2? awesome

So when is this getting released? Reading that site it seems like a DTV route is possible; what's going on here?

Fox wants a Fall release date for the film. We will most likely see the trailer on (or around) the time of release of Predators.

Ah ok, thanks for that; I hope both Machete and Predators turn out great.

This was a movie I was shocked about when it went into production.

I doubt it will do any better theatrically than Grindhouse did.

I did see Grindhouse theatrically and thought the trailers were the best part of the whole project -- however, the one I wanted most was "Thanksgiving."

Oh well, I'm sure I'll see this someday. Probably not theatrically though.

If it does do as much as Grindhouse be, it'd be a mild success considering Machete only cost $20 million to make compared to Grindhouse's $65 million.

It would be nice if FOX got the rights to the whole Grindhouse franchise. i would love to see more Grindhouse, even if it's Direct-to-DVD. Too bad there not making Grindhouse 2 so we could get 3-4 more fake trailers and another movie to go with Machete

I've always thought it would be cool if Tarantino and Rodriguez kept the Grindhouse banner and had other directors -- like Rob Zombie, Eli Roth, Edgar Wright -- release exploitation movies under it. Not necessarily double features, but still throw in fake trailers and ads. Could even see something like Kevin Smith's "Red State" show up there as well.

Let's not forget that Grindhouse, inexplicably, was also given an Easter release, and more might have been done to emphasize that it was a double bill (when I worked at a theater, the employees told me they had to post people at the doors to inform the viewers that there was a 2nd film). I think Machete will be easier for audiences to get into, will be coming out at a wiser time, and, perhaps luckiest of all, the viral marketing for this film essentially started 3 years ago...

I agree on both points. I remember going to the opening night with a close to full theater and having a blast watching it because almost everyone in the audience understood what was going on. Of the two you mentioned, I think the Easter release really hurt it, as it was an experience that kind of reveled in its "sleaziness" aspect and the weekend on which it was released is one where people want to feel "holy" and such.
