‘Machete’ stars filming in June, finally!

Variety just threw the hammer down about the Robert Rodriguez and Danny Trejo project starts shooting in June. The long awaited feature full length movie is about a Mexican ex-Federale who goes out for revenge after being double crossed.

Rodriguez is eyeing a June start date in Austin for “Machete,” a film that is financed and produced by Overnight Productions, with Danny Trejo starring as the title character.

The movie started out as a faux trailer attached to ‘Grindhouse’ in 2007 and so many people loved it they were originally going to do a direct to DVD version, then decided on a theatrical version. Well now we can get excited because we can anticipate a real, legit release date. However with any Robert Rodriguez news lately we can take it with a grain of salt because he was supposed to be doing ‘Barbarella’, and ‘Red Sonja’ but we have seen NOTHING from those since the announcements.
