<p><span id="more-164761"></span>Heard will reportedly portray an assassin whose code name is Miss San Antonio, who will be weaving her way throughout a plot in which Machete must take out a terrorist named Mendez the Madman, as well as Mel Gibson’s Luther Voz, an evil billionaire and arms dealer who plans on launching a destructive missile at Earth via outer space.</p>
<p>Heard had previously been rumored to star in the Robert Rodriguez-directed remake of <strong><em>Red Sonja</em></strong> (perhaps the worst idea for a reboot ever) before Rodriguez bailed on the project.</p>
<p>So, to recap: a <em>Grindhouse</em>-y sequel about a badass Federale/day laborer who battles Mel Gibson over space weaponry while surrounded by beautiful women, as directed by Robert Rodriguez.  Well, it can’t be any worse than the first one, right?</p>

<p>A sequel to 2005’s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/sin-city" target="_blank"><em>Sin City</em></a> has been rumored and in discussion for so long it’s become a kind of urban legend—the kind of thing that people always talk about (especially director <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/robert-rodriguez" target="_blank">Robert Rodriquez</a> and <em>Sin City</em> creator <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/frank-miller" target="_blank">Frank Miller</a>), but everyone knows would never really happen.  Well, that appears to no longer be the case, as Dimension Films has sent out an official press release declaring that <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/a-dame-to-kill-for" target="_blank"><em>F<em>rank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame To Kill For</em></em></a> is officially in pre-production.</p>
<p><span id="more-162718"></span>It’s something of a surprise that Rodriguez is actually committing to the sequel, as he seems to always have 3-4 fantasy projects that never come to fruition going at once, with <em>Sin City 2</em> always being the crown jewel in that roster.  But hey—if this keeps Rodriguez from making another <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/spy-kids" target="_blank"><em>Spy Kids</em></a> film, I’m game.  Check out the press release below:</p>
<blockquote><p>ROBERT RODRIGUEZ AND FRANK MILLER TO BEGIN PRODUCTION ON THEIR MUCH ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO 2005‘S SIN CITY ENTITLED “FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR”</p>
<p>Robert Rodriguez’s Quick Draw Productions and Alexander Rodnyansky’s AR Films partner with Dimension Films on historic sequel</p>
<p>AUSTIN, TX (12 April 2012) — Filmmakers Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, along with producer Alexander Rodnyansky, have announced that production will commence on the highly anticipated sequel to 2005’s Sin City, entitled Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. The film will be produced by AR Films and Quick Draw Productions, financed through AR Films U.S and released domestically by Dimension Films.</p>
<p>“The first question I am always asked is “When will you make another Sin City? ,” said Rodriquez. “I have wanted to re-team with Frank Miller and return to the world he created since the day we wrapped the original, but have felt a duty to the fans to wait until we had something truly exceptional that would meet and exceed what have become epic expectations. A Dame To Kill For will certainly be worth the wait.”</p>
<p>Sin City creator, screenwriter and co-director Frank Miller said, “The first Sin City knocked out audiences who had never seen anything like it before. Robert Rodriguez and I are going to shake things up and deliver a ferocious film experience that is going to go even further than the first.“</p>
<p>The script and details of the film’s story have been kept tightly under wraps. Casting will begin next week, with many of the original cast expected to return. The film, a Quick Draw Production, will be produced by Rodriguez and producing partners Aaron Kaufman and Iliana Nikolic; and by Alexander Rodnyansky and Sergei Bespalov and Stephen L’Hereux. Miller, The Weinstein Company’s Harvey and Bob Weinstein and Miramax’s Adam Fields will act as executive producers. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For was developed by Frank Miller based upon his graphic novel, with a screenplay by Frank Miller and Academy Award winner William Monahan (The Departed). The film is expected to begin production this summer at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.</p></blockquote>
<p>In other Rodriguez news, the multi-tasking filmmaker is also set to film <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/amachete-kills" target="_blank"><em>Machete Kills</em></a>, the sequel to the 2010 film (and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/grindhouse" target="_blank"><em>Grindhouse</em></a> spin-off) <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/machete" target="_blank"><em>Machete</em></a>.  While the original film featured such stunt casting as <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/robert-de-niro" target="_blank">Robert De Niro</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/lindsay-lohan" target="_blank">Lindsay Lohan</a>, it looks like Rodriquez is now gunning for <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/mel-gibson" target="_blank">Mel Gibson</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michelle-williams" target="_blank">Michelle Williams</a> for the sequel.</p>
<p>Gibson’s career is in desperate need of some kind of public approval/acceptance, especially after starring in such underperformers as <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/edge-of-darkness" target="_blank"><em>Edge of Darkness</em></a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-beaver" target="_blank"><em>The Beaver</em></a>, and following the actor being publicly drummed out of a cameo in <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-hangover-2" target="_blank"><em>The Hangover II</em></a>.  Williams is in no need of such a boost—honestly, it would be a bigger shock to see her in <em>Machete Kills</em> rather than Gibson.</p>

<p>Despite the fact that every year he announces about 477 planned reboots, remakes, sequels, and prequels that he never actually ends up making, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/robert-rodriguez" target="_blank">Robert Rodriguez</a> appears to actually be in talks and development to make a sequel to 2010 action film/ <strong><em>Grindhouse</em></strong> spinoff, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/machete" target="_blank"><em>Machete</em></a>.  The film will be called—wait for it—<em><strong>Machete Kills</strong></em>.</p>
<p><span id="more-159207"></span>According to Rodriguez, “the fan response to the Machete character has been fanatical since his first appearance… <em>Machete</em> is truly a super hero and<em> Machete Kills</em> will be bigger and more ambitious than the first time.”  So this is why we still haven’t seen a <strong><em>Sin City</em></strong> sequel?</p>
<p>Machete star <strong>Danny Trejo</strong> is apparently already in talks to return to the Machete “franchise,” while production is set to start in April.  The sequel will find Machete being recruited by the United States government to lead a battle in the heart of Mexico to take out the head of a drug cartel “an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war across the planet with a weapon in space.”  Yes, it appears that part of the film may take place in space.  Ok, Rodriquez, you win—I can’t stay mad with news like that.  Also, Rodriquez has stated that this will the second entry in what is shaping up to be a Machete trilogy.  Yay?</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the Machete news?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Rodriguez.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-152330" title="Rodriguez" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Rodriguez.jpg" alt="Rodriguez Comic Con 2011: Robert Rodriguez Announces Things!" width="570" height="404" /></a></p>
<p>At this year&#8217;s San Diego Comic Con, the large ballrooms, typically reserved for panels discussing TV programs, have been outrageously overcrowded, with lines leading people almost a mile away from the convention center itself.  Meanwhile, the cavernous Hall H, used to draw in big crowds for large studio announcements, has been surprisingly accessible, and sometimes even sparsely attended.  I&#8217;m certainly not complaining, because while 25,000 people stand out in the sun hoping to make it into a 4,000 person room and catch a glimpse of the cast from <em>Big Bang Theory</em>, we got to hear indie auteur Robert Rodriguez make a handful of announcements about his future, in a shockingly intimate setting.  See what Rodriguez had to say, after the jump&#8230;</p>

<p>Robert Rodriguez is a very busy man.  When he makes movies, he is involved in every step of the process; he writes, directs, shoots, edits, and composes the music.  And as if that weren&#8217;t enough, he is continuing to expand his repertoire.  Rodriguez announced that in addition to his Troublemaker Studios, which is his own studio that he uses to produce his films, he will soon open Quickdraw Productions.  He said that Quickdraw will essentially be a production company that will allow him to invite other filmmakers to have access to his resources, and tell their own stories.  This is an interesting prospect, considering in January, we <a href="http://screencrave.com/2011-01-23/breaking-kevin-smith-to-self-distribute-red-state/">reported</a> that Kevin Smith announced that he will be opening Smodcast Pictures, with a similar goal in mind.  It seems that the indie guys who&#8217;ve hit it big are looking forward to sharing their success.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>He also announced, though it isn&#8217;t much of an announcement, since it&#8217;s advertised on posters that are already on theater walls, that <em>Spy Kids 4</em> will be in 4-D.  That is to say it will be in &#8220;Aroma-vision,&#8221; which means that there will be little scented cards passed out to audiences and they will be prompted to smell them at certain points of the movie.  Now first of all, that isn&#8217;t 4-D&#8211;Time travel is 4-D&#8230;but whatever.  I&#8217;d like to deride this for being a dumb gimmick, but it&#8217;s a kids movie, so what are you gonna do?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, Rodriguez went on to make more substantial announcements.  He said that he&#8217;s been working closely with comic book legend Frank Miller on creating a new, original <em>Sin City</em> story, called &#8220;The Long, Bad Night.&#8221;  There was a lot of talk about fleshing out, so to speak, the rest of the Sin City series immediately after the success of the original in 2005, but there has been little news on it since.  Rodriguez acknowledged this, and said that, &#8220;if we&#8217;re going to actually get the chance to do it, we&#8217;ll be doing in the next year or two.&#8221;  Very exciting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Speaking of exciting, Rodriguez went on to specifically thank Comic Con audiences, because he felt they were integral in the success of his campy vehicle for Danny Trejo, <em>Machete</em>.  &#8221;Thanks to the success of that film, the next two have already been greenlit.  So we can all look forward to <em>Machete Kills</em>, and <em>Machete Kills in Space</em>.  Yeah, it&#8217;s going to be a space opera.&#8221;  That&#8217;s great news.  High concept action genre films are his wheelhouse, and it sounds like he wants to continue having fun with this ultra-violent character.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>He also announced the first title for his newly founded Quickdraw Productions, which will be a live action adaptation of the graphic novel/animated film series <em>Heavy Metal.</em>  If you don&#8217;t know what that is, it looks a little something like <a href="http://i.imgur.com/95Y4u.jpg">this</a>.  Between the fantastical visionary artwork and the heavy, hard rock, that should be a pretty badass project.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Finally, he announced that he will be curating and opening a museum in Austin, TX, dedicated to the work of the late, great fantasy painter Frank Frazetta.  Frazetta is most well known for his paintings of <a href="http://i.imgur.com/EhmLO.jpg">Conan the Barbarian</a>, and the iconic sci fi character <a href="http://i.imgur.com/dMhZw.jpg">John Carter of Mars</a>, which is an upcoming film to be directed by <em>Finding Nemo&#8217;s</em> Andrew Stanton.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So there you have it.  A state of the union address from the do it yourself filmmaker who helped pioneer independent movies in the 90s.  Rodriguez is practically an industry himself at this point, and it looks like he&#8217;s only going to get busier.</p>

<p>Well, it’s about time—after six long years, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/robert-rodriguez" target="_blank">Robert Rodriguez</a> has finally announced the long-awaited sequel to <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/sin-city" target="_blank"><em><strong>Sin City</strong></em></a>, the aptly titled <em><strong>Sin City 2</strong></em>.  Rodriguez let this information, along with a lot more, slip today at Comic-Con.</p>
<p><span id="more-152341"></span>Ostensibly there to talk up <strong><em>Spy Kids 4: Seriously, Another One?</em></strong>,  Rodriguez quickly got to the cool stuff.  According to <a href="http://www.avclub.com/articles/robert-rodriguez-brings-another-bumper-crop-of-seq,59340/" target="_blank">The AV Club</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“First up: The long-rumored <em>Sin City 2</em>, which Rodriguez says could begin shooting—in 3-D, naturally—as early as this year from an already-completed script by Frank Miller. The director says he’s also close to making his <em>Machete</em> follow-up, <em>Machete Kills</em>, followed soon thereafter by <em>Machete Kills Again</em>, with the latter reportedly being set in space.”</p></blockquote>
<p>While utterly ridiculous, I can’t wait for these—although, knowing how Rodriguez talks up dream projects almost as often as Tarantino, it could be a decade before we actually see any of these.</p>
<p>Also on Rodriguez’s docket?</p>
<blockquote><p>“The other big news is that he is now attached to the long-gestating, modern adaptation of <em>Heavy Metal</em> magazine, an update of 1981’s barbarians-and-boobs and cyborgs-and-Corvettes (and boobs) animated feature that Rodriguez plans to film as an anthology with different directors—which means that the other filmmakers like James Cameron, David Fincher, and Zack Snyder who have also tried to remake <em>Heavy Metal</em> over the years may still have a shot. And along those same lines, Rodriguez confirmed those reports from last year that he still plans on doing a live-action remake of Frank Frazetta and Ralph Bakshi’s custom-van epic <em>Fire And Ice</em>.”</p></blockquote>
<p>I’m literally not sure how this guy even finds time to sleep at this point.  And, as long as he produces Machete Kills Again, I don’t care.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the Rodriguez movie news?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-114425" title="Jessica Alba Machete Short " src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Jessica-Alba-Machete-Short-19-10-10-kc.jpg" alt="Jessica Alba Machete Short 19 10 10 kc Jessica Alba Wasnt Naked in Machete, It Was Special Effects" width="570" height="267" /></p>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Jessica-Alba">Jessica Alba</a> is known for her beauty and amping up her sexuality. Despite the photo spreads she&#8217;s done in the past and the barely there wardrobe she&#8217;s worn in films, the actress has never done nudity. She&#8217;s always spoken out against it and has said multiple times that she has no interest in putting her naked flesh on screen.</p>
<p>This seemed like a contradiction when Alba appeared in the <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Robert-Rodriquez">Robert Rodriquez</a> flick <a href="http://screencrave.com/project/Machete"><strong><em>Machete</em></strong></a> where she was shown in a shower scene with nothing but her arm covering her assets. So what happened to her famous no-nudity clause? It turns out she never shot that scene in the buff, and the computers did it for her.</p>
<p><span id="more-114419"></span></p>
<p>According to the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1315854/Jessica-Alba-naked-scene-fake-film-Machete.html">Daily Mail</a>, Alba originally shot the <em>Machete</em> shower scene in her underwear then the digital effects team removed them in post production. Now photos have surfaced online that show the real scene from the film compared to the one altered by CGI. Take a look&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-114426" title="Jessica Alba Machete Side by Side " src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Jessica-Alba-Machete-Side-by-Side-19-10-10-kc.jpg" alt="Jessica Alba Machete Side by Side 19 10 10 kc Jessica Alba Wasnt Naked in Machete, It Was Special Effects" width="500" height="634" /></p>
<p>What do you think? We haven&#8217;t heard Alba vocally express any anger regarding Rodriguez&#8217;s decision to remove her clothing so she must not be that upset about it. Maybe she&#8217;s uncomfortable with the actual act of being naked on camera but not the &#8220;illusion.&#8221;</p>
<p>Also, Alba has been cast as the lead in Rodriguez&#8217;s <em><strong>Spy Kids 4</strong></em>, so she obviously doesn&#8217;t have a problem working with him again. This whole thing is just weird. The shower scene in the movie is literally 5 seconds long and pointless. The fact that they put all that extra work in for an insignificant scene is kind of worrisome. Are we that hung up on T&amp;A in movies? That time and energy could have gone into something else. There was more than enough nakedness to go around. Is it cheaper to digitally alter nudity than it is to hire a body double? What was their logic?</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the naked switcheroo? Was it necessary/unnecessary?</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Machete"><strong><em>Machete</em></strong></a> is an old school, grind house action flick with guns, knives, and a strong political undertone. The last description doesn&#8217;t really fit but that didn&#8217;t stop <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Robert-Rodriguez">Robert Rodriguez</a> from using this trailer turned film to vocalize his disdain for U.S. immigration policies. The filmmaker has a huge bone to pick but instead of addressing Congress, he&#8217;s taking his argument to the theater!</p>
<p>Check out the review&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-106000"></span></p>
<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director</strong>: Ethan Maniquis, Robert Rodriguez,</li>
<li><strong>Screenwriters</strong>: Robert Rodriguez,</li>
<li><strong>Cast</strong>: <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Danny-Trejo">Danny Trejo</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Jessica-Alba">Jessica Alba</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Jeff-Fahey">Jeff Fahey</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Michelle-Rodriguez">Michelle Rodriguez</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Robert-De-Niro">Robert De Niro,</a> Don Johnson, Shea Whigham, Daryl Sabara,<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Lindsay-Lohan"> Lindsay Lohan</a>, Cheech Marin, Steven Seagal</li>
<li><strong>Cinematographer</strong>: Jimmy Lindsey</li>
<li><strong>Original Music By:</strong> John Debney</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Plot:</h2>
<p><em>Machete</em> follows an ex-federale who is betrayed by his superiors in his native Mexico. After years on the run, he ends up in Texas taking odd jobs to make ends meet. After taking down a tough street fighter he&#8217;s commissioned to assassinate a controversial politician who&#8217;s trying to crack down on illegal immigration. From that point on he finds himself embroiled in an &#8220;us vs them battle&#8221; between the Latin natives who are part of an underground community called &#8220;The Network&#8221; and a group of extremists who work for border patrol.</p>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Characters: </strong>Every person in this film is an exaggeration of someone who really exists. The characters are all based on stereotypes. There&#8217;s the overzealous southern politician, the Mexican drug lord, the hard pressed cop, and of course the vigilante hero, whose blades are faster than bullets. That&#8217;s obviously the exaggerated part.</li>
<li><strong>The Action: </strong>Gun play? Check! Explosions? Check! Knife fights? Hell yes! <em>Machete</em> has a lot of obscene and almost obnoxious action sequences that are filled with gore. There&#8217;s a reason the protagonist&#8217;s weapon of choice is a giant blade. He&#8217;s not trying to just get the job done. He&#8217;s trying to make a point.</li>
<li><strong>The Story: </strong>Like I said earlier, the plot heavily leans on the current state of immigration in the U.S., specifically the cities near the Mexican border. This is an underdog story, not just for Machete but for his people. At times the political tone does get a bit heavy handed but it&#8217;s an entertaining way to shed light on the topic.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Jessica Alba: </strong>Why was she cast as the female lead? Her acting is unbelievable &#8212; literally she was UNBELIEVABLE. You don&#8217;t buy her as a immigration officer who&#8217;s torn between her allegiance to the law and to her people. Her performance didn&#8217;t feel genuine. Michelle Rodriguez (one of the highlights of the film) could have done a lot better with the role than Alba.</li>
<li><strong>Steven Seagal:</strong> So this is why Seagal wasn&#8217;t in <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-expendables/"><strong><em>The Expendables</em></strong></a>? He plays a Mexican drug lord who&#8217;s also Machete&#8217;s arch enemy. Seagal is a shadow of his former self. His squinted gaze, bloated figure, and obvious hair piece was nothing more than a distraction when he appeared on screen. This is not the same guy from <em><strong>Hard to Kill</strong></em>. It just can&#8217;t be!</li>
<li><strong>The Length:</strong> This movie was entirely too long. It was overextended by one too many villains. There&#8217;s always a guy, behind a guy, behind another guy, and then you get the real guy who&#8217;s pulling the strings. It takes forever for them to get to that point and when they do, we&#8217;re exhausted.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p>If you liked <em>Grindhouse</em>, you&#8217;ll love <em>Machete</em>. It&#8217;s got sex, drugs, action, and low riders as far as the eye can see. If that&#8217;s your thing, this will be the perfect flick for you to spend your money on this Labor Day weekend.</p>
<h2>Rating: 7.5/10</h2>
<p><em>Machete</em> opens in theaters everywhere September 3rd.</p>

<p>A new trailer has just been released for <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Robert-Rodriguez">Robert Rodriguez&#8217;s</a> B-grade action flick, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Machete"><strong><em>Machete</em></strong></a>. The film is based on a fake trailer that appeared in his collaborative project with <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Quentin-Tarantino">Quentin Tarantino</a> entitled <strong><em>Grind House</em></strong>. Supporting character actor <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Danny-Trejo ">Danny Trejo </a>leads the cast as the lean, mean, machete throwing machine. Check out the new trailer&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-94530"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://screencrave.com/wp-content/plugins/flash-video-player/default_video_player.gif" title="New Machete Trailer   All Knives and Guns!" alt="default video player New Machete Trailer   All Knives and Guns!" /></p>
<p>Even though the trailer doesn&#8217;t show the entire cast, Trejo will be  joined by a group of talented actors including Oscar winner <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/robert-de-niro">Robert De  Niro</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/jessica-alba">Jessica Alba</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Michelle-Rodriguez">Michelle Rodriguez</a>,  Steven  Seagal, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Lindsay-Lohan">Lindsay  Lohan</a>, Cheech Marin, Don   Johnson </strong>and <strong>Jeff Fahey</strong> just to name a few.</p>
<p>If you judge this as a standard B movie and nothing more, it doesn&#8217;t look bad. Anything that involves both Marin and Rodriguez usually tickles my fancy but there are a few flaws. The little bit of fight choreography Alba is shown doing is horrible. She did better work on Fox&#8217;s &#8220;<strong>Dark Angel</strong>.&#8221; Other than that it was good, especially Seagal in sensei mode again. It&#8217;s been a long time!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget to check out the <a href="http://screencrave.com/2010-05-05/machete-cinco-de-mayo-trailer-premiere/">first trailer</a> for the film with a special introduction from Trejo himself. It&#8217;s the Cinco de Mayo edition!</p>

The actor will be joined by a supporting cast that includes <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/robert-de-niro">Robert De  Niro</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/jessica-alba">Jessica Alba</a>,  <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Michelle-Rodriguez">Michelle Rodriguez</a>, Steven Seagal, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Lindsay-Lohan">Lindsay Lohan</a>, Cheech Marin, Don  Johnson </strong>and <strong>Jeff Fahey</strong> just to name a few.</p>
<p><img src="http://screencrave.com/wp-content/plugins/flash-video-player/default_video_player.gif" title="Machete Cinco de Mayo Trailer Premiere" alt="default video player Machete Cinco de Mayo Trailer Premiere" /></p>
<p>Besides Trejo, Marin is another actor who consistently appears in Rodriguez&#8217;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&#8217;s showing some range in his role as the Senator? It&#8217;s been such a long time since we&#8217;ve seen him step outside the box and he looks damn good here.</p>
<p>There are so many things to like about this trailer but our favorite is the small credit given to Don Johnson. It says &#8220;Introducing&#8221; in front of his name as if he hasn&#8217;t been in the film industry for 40 years already. The irony!</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the first trailer for Machete?</strong></p>

<p>Award winning director<a href="../tag/Quentin-Tarantino"> Quentin  Tarantino</a> has been known to resurrect a few actor&#8217;s careers with the  most famous being<a href="../tag/John-Travolta"> John Travolta</a> and his<a href="../tag/John-Travolta"> </a>Oscar  nominated performance in <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/pulp-fiction/"><strong><em>Pulp Fiction</em></strong></a>. If he could do that for him after those horrible <strong><em>Look Who&#8217;s Talking</em></strong> movies we&#8217;re sure he can do the same for <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Lindsay-Lohan">Lindsay Lohan</a>&#8230;right?</p>
<p><span id="more-78593"></span></p>
<p>Lohan was cast in <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Robert-Rodriguez">Robert Rodriguez&#8217;s</a> upcoming action flick <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Machete"><strong><em>Machete</em></strong></a>, a film based on a short trailer that appeared in his Tarantino collaboration <strong><em>Grind House</em></strong>. According to several sources, the actress has made quite the impression on the cast and crew during the film&#8217;s shoot and we don&#8217;t mean that in a negative way. There&#8217;s been nothing but good things said about her work ethic and that news spread to the ears of Tarantino who wants to feature her in his next project.</p>
<p>There haven&#8217;t been any specifics given on what film the director has in mind but whatever it is, it can only help Lohan&#8217;s career. The big question is what can she do that will shock the general population? Her tabloid lifestyle has already exploited her from every angle, which means he&#8217;ll have to come up with something new and original that shows her in a whole new light.</p>
<p>Tarantino helped Travolta, he gave <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/David-Carradine/">David Carradine</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Uma-Thurman">Uma Thurman&#8217;s </a>careers a big boost with <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Kill-Bill"><strong><em>Kill Bill,</em></strong></a> and <strong>Pam Grier</strong> (Foxy Brown) rose from the ashes of the 1970&#8242;s when he cast her in<strong><em> Jackie Brown</em></strong>. Now, he&#8217;s on to Lindsay&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Do you think Quentin Tarantino can save Linsday Lohan&#8217;s career?</strong></p>

<p>Over at <a href="http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=60616">ComingSoon</a>, they&#8217;ve gotten a hold of one of the many character posters for the soon to be released<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/robert-rodriguez"> Robert Rodriguez</a> film, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/machete"><strong><em>Machete</em></strong></a>. The movie is based off of the fake trailer that was presented during the 2007 double feature film, <em><strong>Grind House</strong></em>, a joint project between Rodriguez and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/quentin-tarantino">Quentin Tarantino</a>. <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/jessica-alba">Jessica Alba</a> is one of the actors who will appear in the ensemble action flick and here&#8217;s the first look at her poster.</p>
<p>Check it out below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-47423"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47433" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/albamachete.jpg" alt="albamachete Jessica Alba Machete Poster" width="560" height="877" title="Jessica Alba Machete Poster" /></p>
<p>In <em>Machete</em>, Alba will play a character by the name of Sartana as you can tell from the heading on her poster. This photo was taken from the American Film Market (AFM), where it made its public debut. <em>Machete</em> will be an old school action film that will feature Rodriguez staple, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/danny-trejo">Danny Trejo</a> in the title role. He along with Alba, will be joined by too many talented and not so talented actors to count. Here&#8217;s the lowdown:</p>
<blockquote><p>Machete (Danny Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/steven-seagal">Steven Seagal</a>). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (<strong>Jeff Fahey</strong>) to assassinate McLaughlin (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/robert-de-niro">Robert De Niro</a> )a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michelle-rodriguez">Michelle Rodriguez</a>), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/cheech-marin">Cheech Marin</a>) his &#8220;holy&#8221; brother, and April (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/lindsay-lohan">Lindsay Lohan</a>) a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m sure a high quality version of this poster will pop up sooner than later, but until then keep this one on tap until it shows up.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of Jessica Alba in Machete?</strong></p>
