This is fantastic news! I had heard they dropped Machete, but its great to see they’re still going through with it. Planet Terror is RR’s best flick, IMO, and I definitely want to see another film done in the same B-movie style.

Yeah, this Machete is also loveable Uncle Machete who makes all the gadgets in the “Spy Kids” flicks, and that’s frickin’ hilarious!

@Alex

If you recall from Spy Kids, Machete was a real bad-ass. He just softened for the kids.

Well, I mean I knew Rodriguez was responsible. It just strikes me as odd that this, most likely, R-Rated movie may be a spin-off from a PG-rated counterpart.

I had forgotten that! I’ll bet they ARE connected. Rodriguez did both.

Also, is Machete at all related to the Spy Kids franchise? Might seem silly, but remember, Danny Trejo’s nickname in those movies was Machete.

I’m so amped that RR is doing a Machete flick!!!!!!!!!! I loved the trailer , it was a lot of fun .
As for Machete himself , Danny Trejo , he always seems one of the coolest characters in whatever movie he’s in. This could be very cool.

I don’t know if he meant it as a slam against Blade Runner. I think he might just be trying to put it into perspective of intensity and speed. Blade Runner’s amazing, but it is a tad slow-paced.

It almost seems like the length of time in between the Sin City movies is too vast. I consider myself a movie fanboy, and the possibility of a new one is already making its way into obscurity. Generally speaking, I don’t care if I see a sequel. And that’s why I worry about the status of that movie. Because if I think it’s irrelevant, then I think the common, mainstream viewer is going to write it off as a cheesy sequel to an obscure movie.

Machete. Danny Trejo as the leading man? That’s just epic. Haha.
