Although “Grindhouse” didn’t succeed as well at the box office as I’m sure the studio and directors (Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino) wish it had, the creative “mini movie” segments in between the two features became an instant smash hit. These fake trailers because more popular than the feature film itself, each directed by a different director (Eli Roth, Rob Zombie, Edgar Wright, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino). The most popular (and arguably the best) of these fake trailers was the one for “Machete”. Hell, the fake trailers were far superior to “Death Proof”.
It was announced some time ago that “Machete” was actually going to be turned into its own full length feature film, and today it appears another cast member is set to join the film.
Actress Lindsay Lohan posted this on her Twitter: “something was made official today!” with the link going to the Machete page on IMDB.
If this turns out to be true (Lohan is now listed on the Machete page), then she’ll be joining the likes of Robert De Niro, Jonah Hill, Steven Seagal and Danny Trejo as the title character.
Uggghhhh… I’ve been really looking forward to seeing Machete… but wow… if Lohan is in it i think I just lost all respect for Rodriguez and my excitement will take a serious blow. What do you guys think?
