Jessica Alba, Don Johnson and a whole lot more join Robert Rodriguez’s ‘Machete’
Yeeee...HAW!
Hot on the heels of Lindsay Lohan tweeting about her being officially added to Robert Rodriguez’s Machete, news of the film’s entire cast broke.
Holy plop. I thought The Expendables looked good…
The big-screen production of the faux Grindhouse trailer will star Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey with Robert Rodriguez’s protege, Ethan Maniquis, joining him in the director’s chair.
Last we heard, Seagal was in negations for a fat wad of cash so it looks like his needs were met. Seagal may be using Machete as a resurgence tool. Will Machete do for Seagal what Kill Bill did for David Carradine? Elevate his fame temporarily until he’s chocked in closet during a weird sex act?
Robert De Niro being included isn’t a shock seeing as the respected actor has taken roles ranging from The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle to Stardust. He even had a role in my own movie entitled Horkus the Talking Horse II: Midget Tangent.
Alba’s casting shockingly remained off the radar. The Fantastic Four and Sin City sexpot, combined with Lohan, will bring some serious heat (presumably) to the film.
Don Johnson? My fanboy senses went into overdrive with this one. The former Miami Vice and Nash Bridges star will most assuredly do something badass. He always does something badass. (See The Hot Spot for details.)
The new menagerie of stars joins lead Danny Trejo and scary chica Michelle Rodriguez.
Look for the film sometime in 2010.
