Robert Rodriguez has reportedly assembled an all-star cast for his new Grindhouse spin-off, including Robert De Niro, Jonah Hill, and Michelle Rodriguez.
The movie is based on a fake trailer that appeared before Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's 2007 Grindhouse double-bill.
Two years on, the filmmaker has decided to turn it into a full-length film.
Danny Trejo will reprise his role as Machete, a madman hellbent on revenge, and De Niro will play a senator who double-crosses him, a tipster tells movie website Bloody-Disgusting.com.
Shooting on the spin-off is scheduled to begin on 29 July.
