'Machete' Official Casting Revealed

First of all, allow me to apologize to anyone who might be annoyed by numerous posts on Robert Rodriguez's Machete . Truth be told, I am really looking forward to this movie (or was). Buried within a very long article from Variety lies the official casting for the aforementioned film. Most of the rumored actors and actresses turned out to be real. With this in mind some names were expected but, some really took me by surprise. As also mentioned in the very long article, the movie started production this week with Mr. Rodriguez co-directing with protege Ethan Maniquis.


The rumored Robert De Niro will indeed share the big screen with Danny Trejo but, this comes with a price (maybe a price too high) that translates into Lindsay Lohan also being part of the cast. Don't get me wrong I somehow still have hope that Lohan might shine in this film. The other announced cast members are Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey.

Is this casting announcement making you jump with joy or cry away your hopes for the movie? Drop us a comment.
