The new Robert Rodriguez film Machete starring Danny Trejo now has some major stars attached! Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson and Steven Seagal are attached to the pic!

Robert Rodriguez has cast Jessica Alba (Sin City), Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez (Fast & Furious), Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls), Cheech Marin (Once Upon a Time in Mexico), Jeff Fahey (“Lost”), Don Johnson and Steven Seagal (Under Siege) alongside Danny Trejo in the spin-off action flick, Machete.

The film is based on the “fake” trailer in Rodriguez’s 2007 Grindhouse, featuring Trejo and Fahey reprising their original roles. Machete is being produced by Rodriguez who is the co-director with Ethan Maniquis, his long time editor. Rodriguez and Overnight Productions announced today that shooting is gearing up out of Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.

Wow, that’s a great list of stars, it makes me wonder if this movie will actually come to theaters instead of the original plan to go straight to Blu-Ray/DVD. I wanted to see it long before all these names were attached, good job Robert Rodriguez!
