This season on From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, fans have had the pleasure of watching Tom Savini, who portrayed Sex Machine in the original film, play demon hunter Burt this time around. Some of the show's best humor comes from Savini's scenes with Jake Busey, who plays Sex Machine in the TV series, and our exclusive clip from tonight's episode features both actors observing the stealthy weapon that helped make Sex Machine such an iconic character in the horror genre.

Hell hath no fury like a Xibalban queen scorned, especially when said queen wants to literally raise Hell on Earth. Looking to get one up on the Gecko Brothers, a possessed Kate and a few of her friends from the underworld go after her culebra brother, Scott Fuller, who is now the lead singer of a rock band that feeds on the blood of sinners. It’s just another day in the wild world of From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, which airs its most ambitious season 3 episode tonight at 9:00pm Et on El Rey Network.

The last time we saw Scott, he was absolutely shaken after Carlos shot his sister, Kate, and with his former mentor-turned-enemy now scattered across the earth after being sliced and diced at Jacknife Jed’s, Scott has turned to music to soothe his troubled soul… and feed his voracious appetite.

From Dusk till Dawn: The Series, Season 1, Episode 8, “La Conquista”

Written by Marcel Rodriguez

Directed by Fede Alvarez

Airs Tuesdays at 9pm (Et) on El Rey Network

Somehow From Dusk till Dawn: The Series has managed to exceed expectations. With just 2 episodes left, the first season has been clever, imaginative, and exciting. There have been a few bumps along the way, some of the pacing has been off and the transition from screen to TV hasn’t always been smooth, but for the most part the series has benefited from the great chemistry between D.J. Cotrona and Zane Holtz as Seth and Richie Gecko, and a hectic, bloody, cool attitude.

“Pandemonium” ended with Richie being shot by Freddie (Jesse Garcia) and drugged by Santanico (Eiza Gonzalez). “La Conquista” opens with a flashback to Carlos (Wilmer Valderrama) and his ever evolving back story. From the beginning Carlos has been the big question mark for the show.

"From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series" has exceeded expectations, and anticipation for tomorrow's Episode 1.08, "La Conquista," directed by Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead 2013), is high. Check out some exclusive stills for a look at what's coming.

“From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” stars D.J. Cotrona as Seth Gecko and Zane Holtz as his unpredictable brother, Richard (“Richie”). Other cast members include Jesse Garcia, Eiza González, Wilmer Valderrama, Adrianne Palicki, Jake Busey, Don Johnson, Madison Davenport, Lane Garrison, Robert Patrick, and Brandon Soo Hoo.

On the heels of announcing a greenlight for Season Two of their popular new original project "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series," El Rey Network has provided info on Episode 1.04, "Let's Get Ramblin'," premiering Tuesday, April 1st.

“From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” centers on bank robber Seth Gecko (D.J. Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard “Richie” Gecko (Zane Holtz), who are on the run after a bank heist left several people dead.

While heading to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter a former pastor and his family, whom they take hostage. Using the family Rv to cross the Border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is populated by vampires. They are forced to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone of the original film, adds new characters and backstories, and expands the Mesoamerican mythology behind the creatures inside the club.

Get ready for the knife-wielding hero to return in Machete Kills, the sequel to the hugely successful Machete film from acclaimed director Robert Rodriguez.

Machete Kills arrives on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack including Blu-ray™, DVD, & Digital HD with UltraViolet™ and On Demand on January 21, 2014, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. The film is also be available on Digital HD now.

Danny Trejo (Grindhouse, Machete) returns as legendary ex-Federale Machete Cortez in this action- packed thrill ride from innovative director Robert Rodriguez. In his latest mission, Machete is recruited by the U.S. President (Charlie Sheen/Carlos Estevez; Anger Management, Two and a Half Men) to stop a crazed global terrorist (Mel Gibson; Braveheart, Edge of Darkness) from starting a nuclear war. With a bounty on his head, Machete breaks all the rules as he faces death at every turn from an all-star cast of deadly assassins.

Featuring Michelle Rodriguez (Fast & Furious 6...

So it is likely that you missed the fake trailer for Machete Kills Again in Space. Dont worry we have it for you to watch below. Robert Rodriguez (Machete From Dusk Till Dawn) directs from a screenplay by Kyle Ward based on a story by Marcel Rodriguez and Robert Rodriguez. The film stars Danny Trejo (Machete From Dusk Till Dawn) Michelle Rodriguez (Machete Resident Evil) the unbelievably sexy Sofia Vergara (Modern Family Four Brothers) Amber Heard (All the Boys Love Mandy Lane The Ward) Carlos EstevezCharlie Sheen (Platoon Wall Street) Lady Gaga (crappy music) Antonio Banderas (Desperado Shrek 2) Jessica Alba (Sin City Fantastic Four) Demin Bichir (The Heat Savages) Alexa Vega (Spy Kids Repo the Genetic Opera)...

Chicago – You gotta love director Robert Rodriguez. When other filmmakers are slogging through their important films, he’s out convincing big stars to blow off cinematic fireworks, giggling all the time. The excess is the thing, more so and more so, in his new film “Machete Kills.”

Rating: 3.5/5.0

Another great notion about the character of Machete, portrayed with stoic abandon by Danny Trejo, is that he began as a character in a fake trailer (“Grindhouse” from 2007) and then became his own film series. After the feature debut “Machete” in 2010, director Robert Rodriguez revisits the Mexican marauder in “Machete Kills” and brings along some celebrity heroes and villains – including Charlie Sheen (listed as Carlos Estevez) as the President. This is a shoot-em-up, blow-em-up, sex-em-up carnival of a thrill kill cult movie. The pay offs overshadow the dead spots and the redundancy of the bullets flying, and provides enough grindhouse touches and bizarre laughs to entertain.

Danny Trejo is set to light up the screen once more next month, reprising his cult character role of Machete in Robert Rodriguez’s anticipated sequel, Machete Kills.

Starting out life as a fake trailer, the original Machete movie became something of an instant cult classic, and the upcoming sequels have been something to look forward to ever since.

Machete Kills is first up, hitting cinemas next month. And with just a few more weeks to go, a new preview has landed online, taking a look at Alexa Vega in various scenes taking aim at Trejo’s Machete.

In Machete Kills, Danny Trejo returns as ex-Federale agent Machete, who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man – he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.

Machete Kills staring Danny Trejo has just revealed a brand new redband trailer. There are a few curse words in this one so dont crank up the speakers at the office. In Machete Kills the U.S. government recruits Machete to battle his way through Mexico in order to take down an arms dealer who looks to launch a weapon into space. Machete Kills will be released in theaters on October 4 2013. Machete Kills is directed by Robert Rodriguez (Machete Sin City Spy Kids franchise) from a screenplay by Kyle Ward based on a story by Marcel Rodriguez and Robert Rodriguez. The film stars Danny Trejo (Machete From Dusk Till Dawn) Michelle Rodriguez (Machete Resident Evil) the unbelievably sexy Sofia Vergara (Modern Family...

Trained to kill. Left for Dead. Back for more. Thus goes the tagline on the new poster for Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills, his action sequel to the movie that began life as a fake trailer.

The franchise has quickly gained something of a cult status, and Danny Trejo is reprising his eponymous role in just a few weeks time. The latest trailer surfaced just over a month ago, teasing plenty more action sequences to entertain the original’s fans. And now Fandango have launched the latest poster, which sees Trejo alongside both the good guys and the bad.

Danny Trejo returns as Machete in the sequel Machete Kills directed by Robert Rodriguez. Now we have the 10th poster added to the gallery for the Open Road Films release which hits theaters from October 11th. The cast includes Michelle Rodriguez, Sofia Vergara, Amber Heard, Charlie Sheen (credited as Carlos Estevez), Demian Bichir and Mel Gibson. This Grindhouse film looks like a blast, and is scripted by Kyle Ward from the story by Robert and Marcel Rodriguez. In Machete Kills, Trejo returns as the ex-Federale agent who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man - he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.

First off, let me apologize to you, dear readers, for getting this week’s column to you so late – it’s been crazy busy on my end, and this got away from me. In happier news, over the weekend, I finally saw The Wolverine, and I have to say that I liked it more than I thought I would. More importantly, this week finally sees the release of Elysium, which I am planning to see as soon as I can. And looking beyond the end of summer, this week’s installment of Trailer Trashin’ takes another look at one of my most anticipated films of the fall, Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills.

Premise: Mexican ex-Federal agent Machete Cortez (Danny Trejo) is recruited by the President of the United States (Charlie Sheen) for a mission that would be impossible for any mortal man. Machete must take down eccentric billionaire arms dealer...

It started out as a fake trailer, and then it became a modern cult classic, and now Danny Trejo is just a few months from returning for more action in Machete Kills as the eponymous former Mexican Federale agent.

The first trailer landed back in the spring, giving a brilliant tease for fans of the franchise, which naturally sees Robert Rodriguez back behind the camera. And now a new trailer has launched over on Machinima, giving an even better look at Trejo’s return.

In Machete Kills, Danny Trejo returns as ex-Federale agent Machete, who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man – he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.

Whilst we’d been rooting for two doses of Robert Rodriguez on the big screen this year, it looks like we’ll be waiting a little longer for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For to hit. But in the meantime, there’s still plenty to look forward to on the Machete Kills front.

Danny Trejo is of course back as the titular Machete, joined by another brilliant ensemble of new and familiar faces alike. One of those familiar faces returning is Michelle Rodriguez, reprising her role as Shé, and now EW have a thirty-second Comic-Con preview focusing on her return. And with it, we’ve also got a new character poster for Demián Bichir as Mendez the Madman.

Sin City 2 takes yet another step back, with Deadline reporting that Robert Rodriguez is now focusing on a sequel to his 2010 Machete. Titled Machete Kills, the follow-up has been written by Kyle Ward, and is based on a story by the director and Marcel Rodriguez, one which follows the vengeful Mexican as he “[battles] his way through Mexico to take down a madman cartel leader and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war across the planet with a weapon in space”; he’ll “[take] on an army in an effort to dismantle a plan for global anarchy.” Should all go to plan, the sequel will prove to be “bigger and more ambitious than the first time.” As they always say.

The mention of a space weapon (didn’t expect to type that today) correlates directly with a prior comment from Rodriguez — specifically, the hope to make a third film,...
