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.

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.

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

Re: Machete
Fox won a bidding war for domestic distribution rights, and possibly Rodriguez's future endeavors.
http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/fo...me/#more-23299
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.
