Machete rumors confirmed and then some!


Bring on the trash

Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Robert De Niro, Steven Seagal, Lindsay Lohan, Don Johnson(!), Jeff Fahey, Jessica Alba, and Robert Rodriguez-regular Cheech Marin have all supposedly been officially cast in Rodriguez's upcoming Machete, an off-shoot/expansion on the fake Grindhouse trailer original.

This obviously seems too good to be true, but apparently it is--according to Variety--and a little overwhelming considering the source material. I could care less about Alba but everyone else seems primed for some B-Grindhouse trash. I've always seen Rodriguez as being pretty much hit-or-miss, or more accurately somewhere between the two. But with a cast like this, he better knock this one out of the park.
