Lindsay Lohan Joining Machete?
Although “Grindhouse” didn’t succeed as well at the box office as I’m sure the studio and directors (Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino) wish it had, the creative “mini movie” segments in between the two features became an instant smash hit. These fake trailers because more popular than the feature film itself, each directed by a different director (Eli Roth, Rob Zombie, Edgar Wright, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino). The most popular (and arguably the best) of these fake trailers was the one for “Machete”. Hell, the fake trailers were far superior to “Death Proof”.
It was announced some time ago that “Machete” was actually going to be turned into its own full length feature film, and today it appears another cast member is set to join the film.
Actress Lindsay Lohan posted this on her Twitter: “something was made official today!” with the link going to the Machete page on IMDB.
If this turns out to be true (Lohan is now listed on the Machete page), then she’ll be joining the likes of Robert De Niro, Jonah Hill, Steven Seagal and Danny Trejo as the title character.
Uggghhhh… I’ve been really looking forward to seeing Machete… but wow… if Lohan is in it i think I just lost all respect for Rodriguez and my excitement will take a serious blow. What do you guys think?
As long as she just turns out to be a character that dies in a really funny/interesting way.. and early.
Yea it might be like when Fergie was in Planet Terror and maybe shill be naked,
I have to agree John, I can’t stand Lohan.
great move! Lohan rules. She’s in need of a comeback, and this is pretty damn close to starring in a QT flick, which is what I’ve been wishing for.
also, with all these stars attached, Machete can’t still be going straight to DVD, right?
It’s not a QT film it is a Robert Rodgriuez film
Perhaps she will do the nude scene from the fake trailer , than i will give Rodiguez all the respect he earns.
That would be the only reason I would want to see her in any movie.

eh…Tarantino wanted to cast Britney Spears in a Faster Pusycat Kill Kill remake. And sometimes casting choices don’t make sense, like Travolta in Pulp Fiction, but then seem brilliant. I’m not saying I’m happy about it, i’m just taking a wait and see approach. It certainly doesn’t take any of my excitement away.
Robert De Niro?
nude scene.
I kinda like this actually, I think Lohan is a fine actress when she puts her mind to it (like Mean Girls), she could be awesome in this.
P.S: I LOVE Death Proof lol
and let’s not forget Prairie Home Companion, although that was a minor role in Robert Altman’s last film.
When I heard about not only Lohan but also that “wonderful classic thespian” Steven Seagal, I had some doubts…but then I thought about it…I wondered if ‘Machete’ might be filmed and edited in a Grindhouse style. If so, this could work.
Just think: for one movie nobody will bitch about Seagal’s stunt doubles! Or his own voice dubs!
Stellar!
@areyouserious:
As far as Miss Lohan goes, I dunno ’bout the nekkid thing , but one thing I do know. We don’t need another I Know Who Killed Me …oh, wait. That’s right….she was a bad tease.
Still, she couldn’t femme fatale if she tried.
Wow…a chance to see Miss Lohan killed by a machete? I’m in.
If she has a cameo as a whore that dies then that’s genius move by casting.
I don’t even consider her an actress. She’s famous for being famous, and a train wreck at that. She’s there for eye candy like Megan Fox.
Oh come on she was at one time a child actress when she was in my opinion a pretty decent remake of The Parent Trap and I’ve always liked Mean Girls as a guilty pleasure kind of movie but yeah she hasn’t done jack shit since those movies. And I have a serious problem with a line she says in French in the movie Just My Luck she or whoever wrote that line needs to be shot because it’s the worst line in movie history just for the fact that it has no place in an already piece of shit movie.
Her casting is fine. I dislike her in every film she has been in, but Rodriguez knows what he is doing. I disagree with your deathproof assessment. I thought it was fantastic.
Well, if she dies in the flick I’m all for it…I’d rather not look at her face through the whole movie.
Jonah Hill?
Interesting…
yeahh…that’s something new, Jonah Hill not in Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen’s movie? Wow
Ok why on IMDB is Sin City 3 in production before 2?
Steven Segal is in this who will he be?
They should take Robert D out he is done and have the guy from the trailers who was also JT in Planet Terror play the Senator.
It’s been saying that forever. When it comes to info on Sin City sequels, I don’t bother following IMDB. Their sources are all fucked up on that.
I like this casting decision. Lohan has always had potential as a good actress, but you know. I might be a little bias toward since I’ve had a crush on her since I was a little kid. Still, I hope she gets her shit together and make a comeback in this role. Another thing, why isn’t Jeff Farly in this movie? He was the senator in the machete trailer, and then I wonder if Cheech Martin is going to be in this movie too.
She can’t act and got lucky by being cast in Mean Girls.
She was a good actress not a good one now. At least she is hot.
Death Proof was awesome.
Have any of you seen any recent Lindsay pics? Nobody wants to see her naked.
Lindsay is an okay actress, a good director will make her look good.
Lohan is in the movei but also Seagal ! Its been Confirmed. De Niro is in the movie also Cheech, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba [!]
