Machete Hitting Theaters Labor Day Weekend
Source: 20th Century Fox
April 16, 2010

20th Century Fox has set a September 3 release date for Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis' Machete, starring Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson and Steven Seagal. Labor Day falls on Monday, Sept. 6, which gives the movie a four-day opening weekend.

Machete is based on the "fake" trailer in Robert Rodriguez's 2007 Grindhouse. The feature version of the trailer finds Machete (Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (De Niro) a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Michelle Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Marin) his "holy" brother, and April (Lohan) 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.

Awesome! what a cast!

looks really awesome! Iron Man 2, Expendables, Predators, now this one...hope it's going to be a good year for the action fans.:)

I'm a bit of a car guy and I actually enjoyed Death Proof, but I know a lot of people who like the Machete trailer more. (I'm just going to keep Death Proof and Planet Terror meshed to make my point) This one will have some high expectations attached but with a cast like that I'd say we're on the right track.

I'm really looking forward to this movie. I hope this is the beginning of a soon to be trend of actually making the fake previews from Grindhouse. I would see all of them, even though I think Machete will be the only one they make.

This looks great. Because I'm a fan of Trejo, I'm even more impatient to see it.

If the response for Machete is good, there could be more--

Quote:

The film ends with a promise of more to come, "Machete Kills" and "Machete Kills Again." Rodriguez said that is meant as a joke but added he already had enough material for at least another film. "If people now see this and come to ask for more Machete movies, we will have to make it a reality," he said.

I can't wait to see it. It won't appeal to everyone, and probably shouldn't, but Rodriquez' films just work for me.
