How this little fake trailer has grown into such a major, star studded project is beyond me but you can bet your ass that I am looking incredibly forward to seeing what they come up with.

Here's the latest news on casting and such:

Robert Rodriguez has cast Jessica Alba , Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson and Steven Seagal to back up Danny Trejo in MACHETE the big screen version of his trailer that appeared at the begining of GRINDHOUSE.

Wow, now that's a cast.

According to Bloody Disgusting the story arc is as such:

The feature version of the trailer finds Machete (Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (De Niro) a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Marin) his “holy†brother, and April (Lohan) a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.

Sounds good to me.  Keep it here and I'll keep you updated.
