Jessica Alba “Machete” Poster

5 November 2009 1:13 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

A new poster for Ethan Maniquis and Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete” is currently on display at the American Film Market (Afm), and it features a look at Jessica Alba as Sartana. Check it out below.

“Machete” is based on the “fake” trailer in Rodriguez’s 2007 Grindhouse. The highly skilled Federale Machete (Danny Trejo) is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he’s about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he’s been set up. He barely survives the sniper’s bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren’t you!

First Look: Jessica Alba in ‘Machete’

4 November 2009 5:34 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

The American Film Market is going on this week in Santa Monica and a few sites are squeezing every morsel of news from the event.  Two sites nabbed a picture of a Machete one sheet featuring Jessica Alba as “Sartana.”  It just looks like Alba with a gun in her hand, but you won’t hear any complaining from me.

The rest of the posters were locked away, but the wild cast also includes Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, and Rose McGowan.  Robert Rodriguez shot the expanded Grindhouse trailer in August here in Austin, TX.  It’s set for distribution April 16, 2010 by Sony Pictures.

This image comes from ComingSoon.net, but it should be noted Bloody-Disgusting snapped their own version as well:

Five Cool Movies For Spring 2010

23 October 2009 3:12 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

It’s a slow week for movie releases, with Fantastic Mr. Fox the only release of note in the UK, along with Cirque Du Freak. Most of the remaining big films this year are due out in November and December.  

So, with the big winter films already hyped to the max, and with Iron Man 2, Clash of the Titans and Robin Hood being the highly anticipated movies this Spring, I thought i’d take a look at some Spring movies that maybe aren’t getting the attention they deserve – The Losers, Green Zone, A Couple of Dicks, Machete and Kick-Ass. Note, this is a list of the films i’m personally looking forward to, so you won’t necessarily agree with me…

The Losers

When is it? – 9th April.

Where is it? – Currently filming in Puerto Rico

Who is it? – Directed by Sylvain White, starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Evans, »

The first images of horror icon Tom Savini in “Machete” have hit the net. If you don’t know who Savini is, click here. His resume is kind of insane.

Bloody Disgusting scored a few exclusive images and they also provide us with the film’s plot synopsis. We’re posting two of them, but for more click here.

Danny Trejo Is In Predators

27 September 2009 11:00 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Danny Trejo has been talking to the Punch Drunk Critics at Baltimore's Horrorfind convention, and let slip that he'll be joining the cast of Nimrod Antal's Predators, when shooting starts next month.Not that this should come as any particular surprise, since Trejo is generally not far away from any project that Robert Rodriguez is involved in (Rod is producing, and the film is operating under the banner of his Troublemaker Studios), but it's the first casting news we've heard. Trejo will presumably be playing one of the "very intense group of stranded people, discovering unspeakable horrors" that Rodriguez described previously. Unless he's a Predator, but we don't think he's tall enough. The craggy cult icon, bedecked in a wifebeater and occasionally looking as if he might kill his interviewer, also revealed that shooting on Rodriguez' Grindhouse trailer extrapolation Machete has not long finished. He was keen to list the »

25 September 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

Robert Rodriguez is currently filming "Machete," a feature film based on his faux "Grindhouse" trailer. We already know that the cast includes Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Steve Seagal, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey, but Rodriguez has just added two more to that list. According to Bloody-Disgusting, the director is bringing back Elise and Electra Avellan aka "The Crazy Babysitter Twins" from "Grindhouse."

He-Man and Machete Land At Sony

24 September 2009 6:23 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Wow, Sony has been busy as of late - they have acquired two fairly “hot” projects, the new live-action He-Man/Masters of the Universe movie, as well as the Robert Rodriguez faux-trailer-turned-full-length-feature, Machete.

Masters Of The Universe

It’s only been a couple of weeks since Screen Rant reported that the live-action Masters of the Universe had left Warner Bros. and shed producer Joel Silver. The reason for this was reportedly because of a disagreement between WB/Silver and toy makers Mattel, about the direction the film was going in.

 

However, fear not He-Man fans, as Variety is reporting that Sony is in the final stages of making a deal to produce the new Masters of the Universe, with Escape Artists shepherding the project. Sources close to the negotiations say that both Sony and Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch will soon start developing the project for »
