Wow! To think that they are making this movie based on a fake trailer.

I'm a fan of Rodriguez and I'll definitely be checking this out.

Has a release date for this been announced yet, I know Robert Rodriguez works pretty quick, probably sometime next year.

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

Re: Machete
 
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.

So its not being produced or promoted under the "Grindhouse" banner?

Nope, they want this movie to actually make money.

If this movie doesn't win some kind of an award... I'm gonna be ticked off, big time.

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.
