More 'Machete'? Rodriguez, Trejo Talk Sequels

From extremely humble beginnings, Machete may turn into a franchise for Danny Trejo and co-director/producer/creator Robert Rodriguez. The first feature-length film will be released next April, apparently, and already there is talk of not just one but two sequels. "Well, Robert had been training me...god, that sounds really silly...for Machete since we did Desperado, Trejo says in a new article at MovieWeb. Everybody thinks that Machete came out of a trailer, but it didn't," explained Trejo. "Robert told me that he wanted to do this movie called Machete when we were doing Desperado."

"It is a culmination of Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico and there's even a little bit of From Dusk Till Dawn in there. I think it's going to be one of his (Rodriguez') best and I'm not just saying that because I'm the lead, it's just a great movie." "I think everybody's going to walk away from that movie with some opinion. It's a battle for our border, you know? People are really serious about what's going on with the border, and it shows the negatives of both sides. Not just, you know, we want everybody to cross, or we don't want anybody to cross. It shows the negative of both sides and everybody's going to be pissed off."

As for future projects, which Rodriguez does not shy away from, either, Trejo says there are already some bad-ass titles in the mix. "We want Machete, Machete Kills, and Machete Kills Again," Trejo says. And Rodriguez confirms ""We had always talked about making him a franchise character," adding of the proposed sequel names, "they're fun titles, they're not bad. But I do like Machete in Space, though."

it's the worse move done! I really hate this kind of films! I think you should add something better like generic cialis productions, they've been making good stories and we can watch something about them. Parallels to musical counterpoint have been developed into a theory of montage, extended from the complex superimposition of images in early silent film[citation needed] to even more complex incorporation of musical elements.
