So, the red band trailer for the “Grindhouse” spinoff “Machete” has finally landed and wow, what a difference blood, boobs and a few well placed f-bombs make.
The brand new spot introduced by Robert Rodriguez gives us our first real taste at what to expect from the film, and it definitely will push things right over the top. Yep, that’s Machete (Danny Trejo) using someone’s entrails to jump out a window and swing onto the floor below. Yep, that’s a guy getting a knife in the fucking face. And yes, those are some good looking girls wielding some very big guns. In short, this thing rocks but you might want to wait until you get home to watch this.
The motley crew cast joining Trejo includes, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, Rose McGowan, Jeff Fahey and Daryl Sabara.
Rodriguez penned the script himself and actually co-directed the picture with his longtime editor Ethan Maniquis. Machete will cut things up on September 3rd. [IGN]
As Samuel L. Jackson would say, "DAMN!" I assume since the MPAA rated that trailer it means all that was shown has already been approved by them for an R-rated cut of the film. I'm surprised we didn't hear anything about about Rodriguez making cuts to avoid an NC-17. Maybe the film's tone, as opposed to the torture porn films, helps lighten the would.
hot damn! can't wait for that!
