Rodriguez Takes On One Ugly Motherf**ker

Word on the street is that Robert Rodriguez (a personal favorite of mine) is taking on an 80’s classic. We’ve heard recent news of the new Nightmare On Elm Street and now we get treated to another chunk of remake/reboot lovin’.

Back in the mid 90’s Rodriguez penned a script for a Predator sequel titled Predators, it would follow the story of Arnie’s character Dutch being taken to the Predator home world and being pitted off against other weird and wonderful creatures that have been able to defeat Predators on their own turf. This new Predator film will use the same title as the 90’s script of Predators, which suggests a whole bunch of these mean faced mother funkers.

This guy must be hell of a busy right now with Rodriguez again confirming another film he’s setting out to make. In 2007 we got Grindhouse, complete with fake trailers to dazzle our senses. One such trailer featured Danny Trejo, a regular amongst Rodriguez’s actor chums (their actually second cousins). The trailer was for a film named Machete, which follows the story of a Mexican labourer who is hired to kill a state senator but he’s double double crossed and now seeks revenge. Its your typical bad ass on the war path with more guns, blades, explosions and naked women than you can shake a stick at.



So with Rodriguez signing on to co-direct with his long time editor pal Ethan Maniquis, can we expect more of what we got from the trailer? I’m praying that we do, I’ve wanted to see a feature length of this since 2007.

What do you guys think? Will Machete be a cult classic or will he fall flat on his face?

Until next time my minions.
