Director Robert Rodriguez made the announcement on Twitter Thursday.

Charlie Sheen is in negotiations to play the U.S. president in Machete Kills, Robert Rodriguez?s sequel to his Grindhouse action movie Machete.

Rodriguez made the announcement Thursday on Twitter, where he wrote, ? I just cast Charlie Sheen in #machetekills as the President of the United States! Who better? More soon?? Sheen retweeted that message, and a representative for the comedian confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that negotiations are taking place.

Rodriguez is currently in production on the movie, which once again stars Danny Trejo as Machete and includes Jessica Alba, Mel Gibson, Amber Heard, Sofia Vergara and Zoe Saldana.

Sheen's father, Martin Sheen, famously played the President in NBC's West Wing.

The new story sees Machete being called upon by the U.S. government to stop a cartel leader and an arms dealer who have a weapon in space.

The broadly-written part initially called for the president to be African-American and have a basketball court on the White House lawn but has since been rewritten.

Because no USA president had anything to do with drugs, right?

No idea, I live in the UK, most I know about US presidents is Clinton had an affair, Bush had no clue, Obama first black president, that is where my US history knowledge ends, and its not much better for UK PMs either :p

The trailer for the film, which appeared with the Grindhouse films, was awesome, but it didn't translate very well to a full feature length film. Probably because there was so much time from the faux trailer to the actual film and I had higher hopes than what they could possibly produce.

With that said, I hope this film is better than the first one.

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.

      And the fact that the majority of people from Poland are white European Christians while the people you are complaining about in post after post are not is just a coincidence... Every sentence in your post I am replying to is racist nonsense. None of it is actually based on any facts whatsoever. All immigrants are seeking a better life too. It's literally the only reason they would risk everything and leave their homes, families, and homeland. They are working and contributing to the economy too, as you even admit. They get the same benefits your partner did AND that YOU are eligible for as well. That is one of the key things of the EU and a mark of a civilization. That is the definition of a society where everyone is given a chance, treated equally and fairly, and is judged by the content of their character, not their different skin color or which version of ignorant superstitious nonsense their parents lied about as children. Racists around the world said the same things about the Irish and Jews and Poles (like your partner) and...every other immigrant movement over the centuries. What's your family's heritage, by the way? Were your ancestors lied about with racist fearmongering crapola by self-entitled locals the same way as you are now? If someone like that said the same things about all people from Poland, like your partner, would they be right? Or would you want them to judge your partner based on who they actually were, not where they just happened to come from?

      Again, this is an irrelevant attempt to attack the messenger. The truth does not require any justification.

      Removed the blue and underline as you did not post a link. This would also  be considered spamming.
