Sony Catches a ‘Machete’

Sony sure knows not to mess with the wrong Mexican.  It was announced by The Hollywood Reporter that Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group has acquired most of the international rights to Robert Rodriguez’s ‘Grindhouse’ expansion film, ‘Machete.’

The company most recently had a hit with Neill Blomkamp’s ‘District 9,’ for which the company handled distribution in Italy, Russia and South Korea.  The company also handled most of the international distribution for Duncan Jones’ sci-fier, ‘Moon.’

While ‘Machete’ is still shooting in Austin, don’t be surprised if a release date gets set sometime soon.
