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.

    • NVIDIA AI Trained Itself on a 30B Model: Corrected Its Own Broken Metric Mid-Run

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By naap51stang · Posted

      If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.

      Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
