While we’re filing this one strictly under Rumour Control, it’s certainly interesting: Robert De Niro might subsist joining the Machete movie.
Robert Rodriguez has been harboring plans for a during the time that to turn his Grindhouse trailer into a full fledged riot of violence and blood.
And after this Bloody Disgusting has a tip that he is lining up cast members.
The biggest family? Robert De Niro. He’s apparently planning to play an harmful senator in the thin skin, taking over the role from Jeff Fahey, who appeared in the original trailer.
Also considering parts are Jonah Hill and Michelle Rodriguez, playing characters named Julio and Luz.
If they have signed, they’ll have being joining Machete himself, Danny Trejo.
For those who have never seen the trailer (embedded above and decidedly NSFW) it’s the tale of a former Federale in hiding as a day labourer who is hired to assassinate a politician.
But it’s a double cross, and his corrupt boss leaves him for dead. Machete, however, is not a man to cross…
Rodriguez will apparently start shooting on July 29, by co-directing duties handled by Ethan Maniquis.
We’re sure he’ll spill more at Comic Con, so solemnize your browser peaked in the present life for more info.
