Even though it's coming out in April, MACHETE was an idea that came out of the 90's.

Danny Trejo spoke on it's origin, "Everybody thinks that Machete came out of a trailer, but it didn't. “Robert told me that he wanted to do this movie called Machete when we were doing Desperado. If you look at the character in Machete, it is a metamorphosis. He kind of moulded this character of Machete. I think it's gonna be one of his best. And I'm not just saying that ’cause I'm the lead; it's just a great movie. I think everybody's gonna walk away from that movie with some opinion!”

No matter how MACHETE turns out, we can expect more, “We want Machete, Machete Kills, and Machete Kills Again. That's mine and Robert's standards, you know? Every time I text him, he'll text me back, 'Machete 2, coming up!'” I hope that's what they name the next two installments. MACHETE KILLS AGAIN with Jean Claude Van Damme! Van Damme would have a really gnarly mustache and carry a battle mace! Okay, I'll let Rodriguez figure it out.

Rodriguez says that the first film is actually coming along quite nicely. Currently, he is working on the score, “It's going really terrific. It looks really great.”

Rodriguez...planning a trilogy? What amazing new territory for him!



In all seriousness, I can't wait for this movie. If its half as over-the-top bloody hilarious as Planet Terror we are all in for a real treat.
