Ok, we’ll admit this one is based on rather odd evidence – but then that evidence comes from Lindsay Lohan, so what did you expect? On her Twitter page she posted, “something was made official today!!!!!!!!!”, which you can tell must be exciting just from the number of exclamation marks. After that she tweeted a link to the IMDB page for Machete. It may not mean end up meaning anything, but it’s definitely a strong suggestion she’ll end up in the movie.
Although it may not be the most official news we’ve ever reported, we have to bring it to you just because we really hope it’s true. If all the rumours for the Machete cast prove to be accurate – possible names include Jonah Hill, Robert De Niro and Steven Seagal – this is going to be one bizarre movie that needs to be seen.
So far the only two people co-director Robert Rodruguez has officially announced for the film are Danny Trejo, as the hell-bent on revenge title character, and Michelle Rodriguez.
The movie is due to start filming very soon, with a release planned for sometime next year. All we can say is that this may end up being one hell of a b-movie.
