This is the latest milestone on the odd journey of Machete, with the first artwork to the sequel (of the two planned further films) to the ridiculously over the top 2010 Grindhousesque revenge thriller. While the first film showed that the first film made for a great trailer it’s a little surprising that Robert Rodriguez [...]
Robert Rodriguez has been in San Diego promoting his new production company, Quick Draw Productions, and two of the things he’s looking to make are the follow-up to Sin City and the two sequels that would make a Machete trilogy, THR report. The brilliant writer, director, producer, and all-round talented filmmaker has been talking about [...]
It’s a strange time of life when fake trailers get made into feature length films, yet Machete made good on its Grindhouse origins and Jason Eisener is the man to bring Hobo With a Shotgun violently to life Casting Rutger Hauer as the titular Hobo was a good idea, and this new poster is another [...]
Guitarist, martial artist, conservationist, writer, producer, animal rights activist and all-round renaissance man Steven Seagal is back in the land of direct-to-video, following his first foray onto the big screen in nearly a decade playing (and rather enjoying himself in the process) the main villain in Robert Rodriguez’s recent feature, Machete. The film in question [...]
Robert Rodriguez regular and ex-Folsom prison inmate Danny Trejo (whose lived-in face looks as leathery as his character’s trademark waistcoat) plays the man with the big blades in Tex Mex revenge flick Machete, the director’s return to the big screen following his failed commercial attempt at recreating the Grindhouse experience for a modern audience, and [...]
Sony Pictures Entertainment and Hyde Park International have released a brand new, previously unseen, UK trailer for Machete. Machete, an expansion of a fake trailer released with Grindhouse in 2007, is co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis. The film stars Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Don Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez and Steven Seagal. After being betrayed by the organization [...]
Michelle Rodriguez starring in an action-packed retelling of Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane? Look at her welding that huge bazooka on the poster. Check out the heat she’s packing in the teaser trailer! Wait…hold on a minute. Before you all get excited (like I did) over this Grindhouse-esque action fest re-telling of a classic from movie [...]
I dare say, it’s been quite a blood fest at the cinema lately. The Expendables and Piranha 3D had quite enough, but if you go and throw Machete in there too, it’s an all out blood fest extravaganza! The newest film by Robert Rodriguez opened this past weekend here in the States. Originally filmed as [...]
The new George Clooney vehicle The American has taken the top spot at the US box office this weekend with a total of $16m in revenue, while Robert Rodriguez’s “mexploitation” actioner Machete is in third place, having managed to bring in just over $11m. Both of these figures are relatively small but as the summer [...]
Sometimes we get lucky. Sometimes, when the stars are aligned and God is feeling particularly generous, some too-good-to-be-true piece of cinema news will whip round the internet and the holy grail of ensemble casts will be revealed. Some may say that, this year, it was The Expendables that stole the spotlight. But behind the call [...]
After winning a competition in 2007 Jason Eisner’s fake trailer for Hobo With a Shotgun was attached to prints of Grindhouse. Another fake trailer that played as part of the Grindhouse double bill was Machete. Both Machete and Hobo With a Shotgun are now ‘real’ feature films and today marks the US release of Machete [...]
We’ve been keeping you up to date with all manner of Machete news, images, trailers and TV spots lately. Here are some of the recent posts. Well, as they say, the hits just keep on coming. We now have a further set of posters from IMP Awards and they are every bit as subtle and [...]
Four character spots have spilled out onto the grimy floor of the internet and I thought it only fit to scoop them up and offer them up to you fine people. Only a few weeks separate the eager audience from their date with Machete and Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis’ film is sure to fill [...]

My favourite piece of the marketing for Machete so far has to be the Red Band trailer Robert Rodriguez put out for his feature length updating of the Grindhouse trailer Machete, and in anticipation of its release next month there’s a new clip sent out in the ether today. Directing with Ethan Maniquis, Rodriguez is [...]
We reported at the beginning of the year on some of Ryan Reynold’s thoughts about his upcoming X-Men spin-off, Deadpool. Since then, much of the Reynolds/superhero focus has been on his turn as The Green Lantern, however Deadpool seems to still be very much on the cards. There were various reports last month that Robert [...]
If you’re searching for the antidote to the clean cut niceties of Megamind then look no further than this literally gut wrenching new red band trailer for Machete. There’s all sorts of blood letting and external internal organs and the Robert Rodriguez film has never looked better, it’s certainly an improvement on the last trailer [...]
Nuns and machine guns don’t usually go hand in hand, unless of course they are anything to do with Lindsey Lohan! A brand new image of Lohan has appeared on Dutch website, FilmTotaal.nl and ties in nicely with the posters and images that we’ve seen for the movie already. Machete is directed by Ethan Maniquis [...]
Scott Pilgrim director Edgar Wright had recently tweeted about his involvement in a commentary for Don’t, the little seen spoof/fake trailer that was shown between double bill screenings of Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof and Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror. One of the outstanding features of the whole Grindhouse experience was the fake trailers, and with titles [...]
Regardless of her character not appearing in the latest trailer, 20th Century Fox have released an individual character poster for Lindsay Lohan’s nun, April Benz. The poster is the latest in the line of character-based advertisements for Machete. Contrary to reports she had been cut from the trailer, Fox have defended the non-appearance by suggesting [...]
