Danny Trejo Updates from CineVegas: No ‘Expendables’ and ‘Machete’ Shoot Date Set

Our good buddy, James, over at Gordon and the Whale got their hands on some exclusive pieces of information out of Mr. Danny Trejo.   First off, Trejo is not, I repeat, NOT in the Sylvester Stallone-directed actioner ‘The Expendables.’   There were rumors going around that he was, and, with any dispute, it had begun getting referenced around the net as fact.

According to Trejo, his name was associated with the film for some reason.   However, he was never contacted by Stallone or anyone associated with ‘The Expendables’ about the film.

Also in speaking with Trejo, James asked the man about ‘Machete,’ the feature film adaptation of Robert Rodriguez’s fake trailer for ‘Grindhouse.’   Evidently, filming begins on ‘Machete’ in five weeks.   Trejo had just spoken with Rodriguez the day before, and the shooting date for ‘Machete’ is set.   This puts to end rumors and speculation on what Robert Rodiguez’s next film is going to be.

So, to recap, no ‘Expendables’ for Danny Trejo, but ‘Machete’ is set to begin shooting in a little over a month.
