Machete meets Seagal? | Movie News
Maverick filmmaker Robert Rodriguez never appears like he needs any outside inspiration for his increasingly awesome flicks, although this once it looks like he got a cue from THE EXPENDABLES by snatching one of the only fallen 80's action megastars not invited to Stallone's group comeback
The folks at Moviehole recently ran with a rumor that Steven "The Tail" Seagal was about to join Danny Trejo, Jonah Hill and Bobby Friggin DeNiro on board Rodriguez's long anticipated MACHETE. Seagal's rep were quick to drop in and deny the rumor with a Zeusian bolt of lightning in their hand, but then something strange happened: those same reps backtracked, and confirmed the big guy was officially in talks to battle alongside the Mexican knife man, if the "conditions" were right. And by conditions we assume it means if he doesn't get killed 5 minutes into the thing like in EXECUTIVE DECISION.
Wonder if Seagal wishes to follow Van Damme out of the DTV bin, or if he simply felt stupid to turn down a film that DeNiro signed up for. Either way, MACHETE just climbed a few spots on my most anticipated list. Anybody else feel the same?

Extra Tidbit: Shouldn't Rodriguez call upon Chuck Norris too? And what about Mr.T???

To have him on set would cause serious problems.
To be honest I don't believe this story or The Expendables one as they only seem to have come from Seagal's camp and no one else (but if I'm wrong please correct me), Seagal has never been a team player and refuses to get hit in any fight scenes.

for anyone who is interested the falling out with Avi Lerner/Nu Image was because Lerner sued Seagal over not turning up for work half the time and when he did, he arrived hours late and left hours early, Seagal and his bodyguards/entourage would also threaten and harass cast and crew members to ignore the director and producers and do things Seagal wanted them to be done.
Seagal counter sued claiming that Lerner still owed him $500,000.
Rumor has it that the last film they made together (Kill Switch) was an out of court setlement
