Robert Rodriguez Pinky Promises A "Machete" Sequel
At the world premier of his new film Machete at the Venice Film Festival, director Robert Rodriguez has revealed that he has already got plans to make not one, but two sequels to his latest Grindhouse-inspired action flick.
Just as viewers got their first glimpse of Machete, when it played as a trailer in the middle of Grindhouse, Rodriguez ends his latest action extravaganza by telling audiences to watch out for Machete Kills and Machete Kills Again. Although this seems like a joke announcement in the tradition of the exploitation films Machete honours, the Spy Kids director admits that Danny Trejo is likely to reprise the role in the not too distant future.
"Machete don't joke", states Rodriguez. "It felt like it needed something when the music kicked in so I wrote those written trails into the ending just a few days before I finished editing the movie. We made the trailer to Machete not knowing that they'll be a movie afterwards and then people came after us and said where is the movie, so if people come after us and say where is Machete Kills Again then we'll know we'll need it."
When pushed Rodriguez admitted that planning for Machete Kills is already at an advanced stage. "I have a good trailer for that already," admits the director. "I already know the story of Machete Kills. I hope we get to do it, because I like the story a lot."
The director, who is working on Spy Kids 4, admits that he finds it difficult to let characters go once he's invented them and the chances are that if the box office returns for Machete are better than the disappointing Grindhouse opening weekend, Rodriguez will be straight on the phone asking Trejo, Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez to ride again.
