It stars Danny Trejo as Machete, a legendary ex-federale who's randomly chosen to be the fall guy for a crooked political assassination.
"Machete" started as one of the fake trailers during the "Grindhouse" double feature that Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino released in 2007. But everyone loved those few minutes so much, Rodriguez decided to actually make the movie.
Cheech Marin and Jeff Fahey will also reprise their roles from the fake trailer.
And they've gathered an amazing supporting cast that includes Michelle Rodriguez, looking about as sexy as a human female is allowed to by law . . . Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, and Lindsay Lohan.
Lindsay only has a small role, including her "nun with a gun" action.
