Sony Holds The MACHETE

I was initially excited about MACHETE, after seeing the hilarious faux trailer in Grindhouse, at the time I had a feeling that a movie version would be blood and guts and gore and all around action-packed fun. But Latinoreview hated the script and now I’m not as enthusiastic about it anymore. Plus seeing the horrendous set photos of cast member Lindsay Lohan running around like an airhead didn’t help either.
But Variety said Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group will do the international distribution for MACHETE, co-directed by Robert Rodriguez. Written by Rodriguez himself, it’s about a former Mexican police officer who turns the tables on the masterminds who double-crossed him. It’s like federale with a vengeance. Because they’ve f*ed with the wrong Mexican!
Starring Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Cheech Marin, Michelle Rodriguez and Rose McGowan.
Co-directed by Ethan Maniquis.
