    Robert Rodriguez Brings Machete to the Screen, Relaunches Predator Series

    Variety is reporting Robert Rodriguez is taking the Machete trailer from his Grindhouse film, and turning it into a feature length movie.  Danny Trejo will play the lead character, with Rodriguez expected to start filming in June.

    Machete is a Mexican ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day laborer, who is double-crossed by a corrupt state senator.

    In addition to that bit of news, Variety also reports that the producer/director/editor/graphic artist/musician/grip/gaffer/catterer/fill in any other job Rodriguez does himself here has written the script for the relaunch of the Predator series for 20th Century Fox.  This I find really interesting, because the last round of Aliens vs. Predator didn’t totally suck balls, and in fact made quite a bit of money for the studio.

    For now it looks like Rodriguez is only writing the Predator script.

      See, what I like is that this could now be seen as a spinoff prequel to Rodriguez’ kid’s trilogy featuring the character. In fact, you could start with Uncle Machete sitting down with Carmen & Juni to tell the story of what he got up to in the years since their parent’s wedding…

      This guy has yet to make a movie that doesn’t do it for me, I pretty much love everything he did. Except Spy Kids 3 and that other 3D crap that is. I was so bored with Death Proof after that awesome Zombie flick hommage that Planet Terror was. I only hope that he’ll find some time for Sin City 2 and 3 soon.
