Machete is the feature-length version of the  fake trailer by Robert Rodriguez that originally appeared in Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse.

Machete will star Danny Trejo as Machete, a renegade former Mexican Federale who attempts to assassinate McLaughlin (Robert De Niro), a corrupt senator, but then gets shot himself. Although hurt, he goes on the run after Benz (Jeff Fahey), the one who double-crossed him; this is when the “brutal rampage of revenge” takes place.

Lindsay Lohan  has a small role in the movie as April, described s a “socialite with a penchant for guns.”   Lindsay traveled to Austin for two days in mid-September to film scenes for Machete.

Others in the movie include Michelle Rodriguez, Cheech Marin, Jesica Aba Rose McGowan, Steven Seagal and Don Johnson.

Sony recently purchased the distribution rights to the movie.
