I just saw that Robert Rodriguez will be making Machete starring Danny Trejo!! Awesome, just awesome. I swear the only good part of that whole Grindhouse junk was the trailer for Machete. if you have not seen it check it out!!
DANNY TREJO IS MACHETE!!!!!
- Thread starter Darth_Pinche
- Start date
I loved both Grindhouse movies and wanted to see this made as soon as I saw the trailer, and it's about damn time that Danny Trejo got a) a leading role, and b) a heroic (well...) role.
I will, however, say I hope they *don't* have all the fake scratches and whatnot on the film to make it look like an old movie - that worked for Grindhouse, but let's not flog a dead horse.

Hope they keep Jeff Fahey as the villain for the actual movie as well.
I'm still waiting for Thanksgiving. The only part I can't figure out is whether I'd want it to be a horror/comedy like the fake trailer makes it appear, or if it should just be a straight-up slasher flick that happens to be unintentionally funny in places. Either way, it would need to retain that early 80's feel to it.
I'd love to see Thanksgiving as well, but I don't think it would work as anything other than a horror/comedy film... a tongue-in-cheek parody, the way the fake trailer made it seem. True, the gag might get tiresome for a whole movie, but I can't imagine a serious slasher flick about a Thanksgiving-day killer ever being made in these times... unless, of course, it was direct-to-video.
So, is Rodriguez doing this before or after his recently-announced reboot of Predator? Between the two projects, it sounds like he's going to be a very busy guy.
I fear what makes for a great trailer will not be able to be sustained for a feature length.
Im surprised no one has bitched about his age.He will be 65 next month. Everytime a new Stallone,Willis, ford etc. film comes out everyone is always bitching about there ages.
I think it's because the older he gets, the meaner he looks.
Source? Rodriguez has been talking about making a Machete film since Grindhouse first came out, but as far as I know it's never gone beyond talk.

I love Grindhouse and I'd pay to see Machete, oh, hell yeah.
Looks to actually be happening then. Now to make sure the lagoon scene stays in...

Danny Trejo is so badass youtube won't pull his trailer despite violating their terms of service.
I wonder if the movie will contain all the scenes from the trailer.

I know it didn't do well at the box office, but I'd like to see them try it again. Maybe the first film would be a slasher, and the second feature could be one of those Porkys type teen sex comedies. That's what I would have done if I had made a fake trailer.
I had heard that Eli Roth was making a movie of nothing but fake trailers.
WOW! how ORIGINAL! a movie that's nothing BUT trailers, GENIUS!
. No wonder hollyweird keeps remakeing old GREAT movies, because the ideas for movies people have now are almost compleate and utter CRAP!
However MACHETE would be KICK-AZZ!
