Machete Cinco de Mayo Trailer Premiere
By Krystal Clark
Robert Rodriguez is a marketing genius! In honor of Cinco de Mayo, the director decided to release an “illegal” teaser for his upcoming film Machete. Do you remember that grainy trailer that appeared during Grindhouse that was sandwiched between Death Proof and Planet Terror? Yeah, he made a feature length movie out of that. Take a look…
The folks over at AICN got first dibs on the new trailer that features a special introduction by its star Danny Trejo. The actor will be joined by a supporting cast that includes Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey just to name a few.
Besides Trejo, Marin is another actor who consistently appears in Rodriguez’s films and to see him as a gun toting priest is classic. Also, is it just us or does De Niro look like he’s showing some range in his role as the Senator? It’s been such a long time since we’ve seen him step outside the box and he looks damn good here.
There are so many things to like about this trailer but our favorite is the small credit given to Don Johnson. It says “Introducing” in front of his name as if he hasn’t been in the film industry for 40 years already. The irony!
What do you think of the first trailer for Machete?

First to retweet and comment! It looks pretty crazy, it'll be one of those sweet movies cuz it doesn't take itself seriously.

Robert Rodriguez is a rent seeking sc*mbag – he's so hot and bothered over Arizona dissing Latinos? Funny, since “Roberto” dumped his perfectly lovely Latina wife – mother of his several children, and the business brains of his previously unsucessful production company – for one of the whitest and craziest strumpets on the planet, Marilyn-Manson-reject Rose McGowan.
Hypocrite.

Please, he may be getting more attention and money because of what is happening in the media but I doubt he is that bothered about what everyone plans to do otherwise he would not release the film….after all seems like everyone has forgotten this was a planet terror feature, comic book, you want to blame anyone, blame the creators of the comic book not the guy making it into film…lay off.
