Word is floating around the net that Robert Rodriguez's faux trailer "Machete" from Grindhouse may finally be getting the feature treatment as discussed and rumored since the release of the double feature box office flop in 07. The film will be based off the full length trailer that was shown in Grindhouse and is an idea that Trejo and Robert Rodriguez have kicked around since Desperado. Back in 2007 RR said a script was finished. Now we have word that "Machete" may begin shooting later this year.
Machete is an ex-Federale who works for a organized crime syndicate in South America. After he is betrayed by his employer, Machete sets out on a revenge-filled killing spree aimed at his old boss. In the faux trailer, Danny Trejo played Machete and will here too in the feature length film. It is believed that the film will only recieve a direct-to-dvd release, but who knows, Weinsteins may get a wild hair up their asses and decide to give it at least a limited release. No way it would recieve a wide release, especially after how poorly Grindhouse did at the box office. Checkout the trailer below...
What say you? Are you in for "Machete"? Did you see Grindhouse in theaters? Trejo looks like the mexican Charles Bronson or Chuck Norris in this one. Bring on the ass kicking! Strikeback...
