Obviously, the MACHETE train has left the station; just yesterday saw the debut of the new trailer (which is kinda “meh” in my opinion) as well as a batch of cool lobby cards and posters, including these ones, which we brought you exclusively. Now, two more posters have premiered, both of them bringing us face to face with icons of yore: Steven Seagal and Don Johnson!
That’s right, kids. The Bloody Disgusting gang was able to snatch up these two character one-sheets, which show us Seagal’s “Torrez” and Johnson’s “Lt. Stillman. While I’m not sure where Johnson fits into the film (or why the credits keep “introducing” him), but the thought of Seagal playing a Mexican drug lord just makes me giggle with glee.
The feature version of the trailer finds Machete (Danny Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Jeff Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (Robert De Niro) a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Michelle Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Cheech Marin) his “holy” brother, and April (Lindsay Lohan) a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Jessica Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.
Head on over HERE to see the full version of the posters. MACHETE comes out on SEPTEMBER 3rd.
