Zoe Saldana joins Machete Kills

25 May 2012 10:23 AM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »

With Machete Kills starting production this month, we thought we were done with casting announcements, but it is being reported that Zoe Saldana will appear in the film.While there is no mention of what role she’ll be playing, Danny Trejo let her appearance slip during a recent interview with Moviehole:

“The sequel to Machete, Machete Kills is going to be a lot more over-the-top than Machete. We’ve got Sofia Vergara, who is a star in her own right, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, and Zoe Saldana – and guess what? I get to kiss all of ‘em.”

Machete Kills stars Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Mel Gibson, Sofia Vergara, Demian Bichir, Amber Heard, and Jessica Alba. While the synopsis for the film has already been released, Robert Rodriguez mentioned last week that the story has changed from the early ideas they had when Machete was originally released:

Zoe Saldana is the Latest Hottie to Sign up for Rodriguezs Machete Kills

25 May 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »

'Machete Kills' is certainly doing its best to out-do it's predecessor by signing up one hell of a selection of hotties for the promiscuous ex-Federale to get his hands on. 'Star Trek' and 'Avator' star Zoe Saldana (below) is the latest stunner to join the cast of Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse follow-up. Danny Trejo returns as the kicking-ass title character and admitted in a recent interview with MovieHole that not only that 'Machete Kills is going to be a lot more over-the-top than Machete' but that he gets to kiss all of his awesome foursome of sexy co-stars! That includes Saldana along with Michelle Rodriguez ('Resident Evil: Retribution'), Sofia Vergara ('Modern Family'), Jessica Alba ('The Eye') and the hot Amber Heard ('Drive Angry'). Now that makes Trejo one hell of a lucky son-of-a-bitch. »

Robert Rodriguez has been busily assembling a crack squad of leading ladies for his next directorial outing, with Zoe Saldana the latest Hollywood starlet to sign on for Machete Kills. Saldana joins Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara, Amber Heard and Michelle Rodriguez for the B-movie follow-up, and star Danny Trejo is understandably thrilled by the lineup. "[It] is going to be a lot more over-the-top than Machete," says Trejo. "We’ve got Sofia Vergara, who is a star in her own right, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Zoe...

Zoe Saldana Joins Machete Kills; Anthony Hopkins Eyes Red 2; Mads Mikkelsen Becomes Thor 2 Villain

24 May 2012 5:03 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

A lot of casting news has hit today. First up, we start with the revelation that Zoe Saldana has come aboard Machete Kills for director Robert Rodriguez. No information has been revealed about her character, but it is known that she will be making out with star Danny Trejo at some point in the film. Consider her one of Machete's girls.

Mads Mikkelsen is joining the Marvel sequel Thor 2 as a villain. His role is still unspecified. And Ashley Hamilton could be taking a small villain role in Iron Man 3 as Firepower, one of the comic's lesser known characters.

In other sequel news, Anthony Hopkins is thinking about becoming one of the retired CIA operatives forced back into active duty alongside returning Red 2 cast members Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, and John Malkovich. Oher new cast additions include Catherine Zeta-Jones (she dips beneath the lasers!) and Byung-hun Lee. »

Zoe Saldana Onboard for ‘Machete Kills’

24 May 2012 5:02 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Danny “Machete” Trejo has revealed that Robert Rodriguez will start shooting the sequel to his Grindhouse trailer-turned-movie, Machete Kills, in about three weeks (from the time of writing this).

In addition to Trejo returning as Machete Cortez, Mel Gibson is onboard as the film’s James Bond-style villain. Machete Kills will also pack a whole lot of girl-power – as the cast includes returning players Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez, along with series newcomers Amber Heard and Sofia Vergara.

During a recent interview with Moviehole, Trejo announced more than just the planned start date for shooting on the Machete sequel; he also let loose the news that fan-fave starlet Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Star Trek) is yet another lovely lady who will show up in Machete Kills. Trejo held off on dropping any specific character or plot details about ...

Zoe Saldana Joins Robert Rodriguez's 'Machete Kills'

24 May 2012 3:33 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

If you would have asked us a year ago whether we thought a sequel to Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" would ever happen, we would have taken a bet against it. Response to the 2010 film didn't set the roof on fire, but made quick and inexpensively, the exploitation film's $44 million worldwide gross was evidently enough to warrant a sequel. After all, Rodriguez just makes the picture in-house via his Troublemaker Studios and then strikes a deal with a distributor afterwards, with the writer/director still controlling rights. No fuss, no muss.

And the director talks a big game often, perhaps one that is wishful thinking sometimes, but it seems in 2012, his money is where his mouth is. After years of promising its return, "Sin City 2" is finally shooting this summer. But before that, cameras will roll on "Machete Kills." With a cast that already includes Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and newcomers to the franchise, »

Zoe Saldana Apparently In ‘Machete Kills’; Alycia Debnam-Carey Sucked Up By Steve Quale’s Tornado

24 May 2012 3:27 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

The cast that’s already been culled for Machete Kills is, frankly, probably far better than the forthcoming movie. Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Demián Bichir, Mel Gibson, Amber Heard, and Sofia Vergara have been settled into the sequel for varying amounts of time, but Robert Rodriguez may have one big, final spot to fill — if his own star is to be believed.

When talking to Moviehole, Trejo announced that Zoe Saldana — who’s, fittingly, one of the only modern female action stars — is just one of the many ladies in Rodriguez‘s lineup. Now, although this isn’t something that’s even been hinted at over the course of Machete Kills‘ long casting process, it’s not entirely likely the film’s own lead would speak out of turn and, at the same time, make some kind of erroneous claim. This should be cleared up pretty quickly. [FirstShowing]

Zoe Saldana Joining the Stacked Female Line-Up for 'Machete Kills'?

24 May 2012 1:49 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

For a guy whose first movie cost around $7,000, Robert Rodriguez has an impressive amount of connections in Hollywood these days. He worked with some of the industry's biggest stars in Sin City (and will again in the sequel), and his upcoming Machete sequel, Machete Kills, reunites him with original cast members Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jessica Alba, adds hotties Amber Heard and Sofia Vergara, and has Mel Gibson as the villain. Now it appears Rodriguez is using one more of his connections, because Trejo revealed in an interview with Moviehole that Zoe Saldana is the latest actress to join. More below! There's no word yet on Saldana's, but Trejo did mention Vergara, Alba, Rodriguez, and Saldana altogether and said, "Guess what? I get to kiss all of ‘em." Oh, Machete, you scoundrel. Meanwhile, Robert Rodriguez spoke with Empire at Cannes and said the previous plot synopsis "was all fake. »

“Machete” Makes Me Jealous: Zoe Saldana Joins Cast

24 May 2012 11:34 AM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »

In an exclusive interview with Moviehole.com, Danny Trejo, the star of Machete Kills,  revealed that Zoe Saldana (Star Trek) has joined the cast, along with Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), Jessica Alba (Sin City), Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar) and Amber Heard (Zombieland) in what is probably the hottest cast in recent memory. Trejo makes dudes everywhere pissed, jealous and/or decide to take up acting, when he says that he gets to kiss all of them (he didn’t mention Heard, however). Trejo also lobbied for a part in Sin City 2. Robert Rodriguez’s sequel to Machete, Machete Kills should hit theatres in 2013, and I wouldn’t be surprised if more gems join this cast (which also has Mel Gibson as the villain). »

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis: "Trying to Work It Out"

22 May 2012 3:39 PM, PDT | E! Online - UK | See recent E! Online - UK news »

Johnny Depp has always been pretty private when it comes to his personal life. So it was no surprise that he was mum earlier this year over rampant reports that he and longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis had split after 14 years together. Now, weeks after Depp was linked to his Rum Diary costar Amber Heard, comes word from a well-placed source that the 44-year-old star is indeed "trying to work it out" with Paradis, 39. "For the first time in a long time, he is talking about her," the source tells E! News. "They both want to make it work." Depp has been shooting The Lone Ranger  in New Mexico and returning to L.A. most weekends to be with Paradis and the two children they share: »

Robert Rodriguez talks Sin City 2 and Machete Kills

21 May 2012 3:46 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »

It’s been seven years since Sin City will be released, but not only will Robert Rodriguez be directing Sin City: A Dame to Kill For later this year, but a Machete sequel starts filming this month. Robert Rodriguez was at Cannes and provided some new details on both projects.

When talking the look of the Sin City sequel, Rodriguez says to expect an even more stylized look than the original: “I really held back the first time, because I didn’t know whether audiences would go for it. So it ended up looking like a real movie, but in black and white, with a few flourishes. This one is going to push way further towards the books. It’s going to shock and surprise people.”

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For will be released on October 4th, 2013: “Casting is underway, with original cast members returning to work »

Clive Owen (Not) Confirmed To Return For 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For'

20 May 2012 2:26 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Update: Empire got in touch to tell us that an error had been made in their original piece, and that Owen isn't yet confirmed as coming back. That's not to say he won't be involved, but nothing seems to be certain yet. We've all been there.

The pieces are starting to come together for (deep breath) "Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame To Kill For." Following the events of the first film, and/or occuring concurrently, the production has already confirmed the return of Mickey Rourke and Jessica Alba, and here comes one more. The character of Dwight will apparently re-appear, with Clive Owen reprising his role from part one. We recently asked Owen about his involvement, and he was cagey in his denial, though it does appear the project has only recently begun to take shape.

Speaking to Empire, who say that Owen is onboard again, director Robert Rodriguez »

Weinsteins Set ‘Sin City: A Dame To Kill For’ For Fall 2013, Shift ‘Lawless’

17 May 2012 12:06 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

With release date news of Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller‘s upcoming sequel to their 2005 hit, one has to assume the filmmaker is shooting his next two films pretty much back-to-back. He will first gear up this summer on Machete Kills, with a cast that includes Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Demián Bichir, Mel Gibson, Amber Heard and Sofia Vergara.

Following that he’ll return to the mostly black-and-white world for Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, bringing back Michael Madsen, Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson. He’ll also go on a search to add many new people to the franchise, but for now we have a release date. In a press release, the company have announced they’ll unleash the film on October 4th, 2013, with its only competition currently being Henry Selick‘s next film.

In other release date news, The Weinsteins have also switched Lawless yet again. »

A promo poster for Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills

15 May 2012 2:26 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Yesterday we posted a teaser poster for the Robert Rodriguez / Frank Miller-directed sequel Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, but of course that's not the only follow-up that Rodriguez has on his slate and now comes a promotional poster for his other project, Machete Kills, courtesy of Joblo (via Castle Co-op):

Machete Kills is set to begin filming this summer and will see Danny Trejo (From Dusk Til Dawn) returning as the former Mexican Federale Machete, who this time finds himself battling a psychotic cartel leader and a billionaire arms dealer who plan to cause a global war by launching a weapon into space.

Initial Piece of Machete Kills Sales Art to be Unleashed at Cannes

15 May 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »

The upcoming Cannes Film Fest will be treated to the new, yet unrevealing, sales art poster for Robert Rodriguez's action sequel 'Machete Kills'. The new piece of artwork merely features all the headline performers names and not much else aside from the movies logo plastered over what looks like a grotty South American toilet wall. Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez ('Resident Evil: Retribution'), the sexy Amber Heard ('Drive Angry'), the busty Sofia Vergara (below), Demian Bichir and Mel Gibson ('Braveheart') all star in the Grindhouse-styled follow-up which will be released by 20th Century Fox sometime next year.

Wordy Machete Kills Sales Art

14 May 2012 3:55 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Just in time for Cannes, some new sales art for Machete Kills has come forth, but it's a bit light on everything ... except for text, that is. Yes, there's plenty of text. Even if Machete himself doesn't text. Give it a quick look!

Sofia Vergara, Mel Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Amber Heard, Demian Bichir, and of course Danny Trejo all star in Robert Rodriguez's sequel which will be distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Machete Kills finds the titular ex-federale (Danny Trejo) recruited by the U.S. government to stop a terrorist named Mendez the Madman, who happens to be Mexico's leading cartel dealer. Mel Gibson is set to co-star as Luther Voz, a cunning arms dealer and death merchant who aims to spread war across the planet by launching a missile.

Look for more soon!
