Recommended Posts

Although we can't confirm the news, it is nice to hear rumblings around town. We're being told that Weinstein Co. has serious plans on shooting Robert Rodriguez's highly anticipated Machete later this year. Starring Danny Trejo, Machete was introduced to us as a faux trailer in Dimension Films' GRINDHOUSE, which bombed at the box office back in April of '07. In the trailer it was revealed that after being betrayed by the organization who hired him, an ex-Federale (Trejo) launches a brutal rampage of revenge against his former boss. No word on if this would go theatrical or direct-to-DVD.

I can't wait for this! and for those who forgot the trailer!

Yeah NSFW forgot to mention that...thought the word Grindhouse would of explained that :p

Robert Rodriguez is finally getting around to direct a feature film adaptation of the infamous Grindhouse faux movie trailer Machete, with he will co-direct with his longtime editor Ethan Maniquis. Last we heard, production was scheduled to begin before the end of July. BloodyDisgusting obviously has spies in the Rodriguez camp as they?ve broken a bunch of stories on the Rodriguez-produced Predators, and now has a crazy list of actors/actresses who will be featured in the film.

The biggest shocker is Rober De Niro, who has apparently taken the role of Senator McLaughlin. Rodriguez has ties to Tarantino, who definitely has ties to De Niro, so its not impossible. Other cast includes Danny Trejo (obviously), Michelle Rodriguez of Fast and the Furious and Lost fame who will be playing Luz, and Jonah Hill of Superbad fame, who will be playing Julio.

Robert Rodriguez is putting together one of the most eclectic and oddly matched casts ever for his Machete movie. He?s already got Danny Trejo while Robert De Niro

, Jonah Hill, and Michelle Rodriguez are rumored to be involved. You might think it can?t get more mismatched than that, but Robert has other ideas so he put a call in to Steven Seagal.

Moviehole reports that Seagal is considering taking a part in the movie. The words his reps used it depends on ?conditions?, which could mean salary, weight loss, or Steven?s busy schedule. Ok let?s face it, it?s probably not Steven?s busy schedule. I?m going to check off the box marked weight loss.

Who would Seagal play? We don?t know.

While talking to MTV recently, Robert Rodriguez spoke about his upcoming full-length version of the Grindhouse fake trailer, Machete. Although he understandably didn?t give that much away, he did speak about the casting for the film where he revealed two things: the previously rumored Michelle Rodriguez is definitely is in the film, and Lindsay Lohan (yes, that Lindsay Lohan) has a role in the film if she wants it.

Michelle Rodriguez was rumored for Machete along with Robert De Niro, Jonah Hill and Steven Seagal and it?s not surprising to find her rumor turning out true. As I said in my post last week, her name was the one that made the most sense out of those four (or at least, didn?t incite a ?WTF? response as the rest do). Robert Rodriguez has let us know that Michelle and Danny Trejo are the only two confirmed, and he sadly didn?t address the rumors of De Niro, Hill or Seagal.

A little extra piece of Machete casting rumor popped up online shortly after the other four names were being thrown, that stated Lindsay Lohan was ?in talks? for an unnamed role. Rodriguez has now said himself that there?s, ?a cool part for her if she wants it.?

Rodriguez revealed that Machete will start shooting in a couple of weeks, although he said he can?t say much more about it. The director also said they?re in the casting stage right now, and that, ?the script just came out great.?

It?s hard to say too much against (or for - let?s not diss her for the sake of it?) Lohan possibly being cast in Machete when we don?t know what the role will be, and more importantly how big that role will be.

I will be gentle and say that Lohan isn?t he greatest actress in the world but who knows, the B-movie homage that Machete is might lend itself very well to that. I think it?d be wise for Lohan to at least consider the role, as her career isn?t doing too well at the moment.

Apparently Lohan turned down a role in the all-time highest grossing R-rated comedy, The Hangover. I bet she?s slapping her forehead over that one?

I don't know who Jonah Hill is and I wish I didn't know who Lindsey Lohan was either, but the rest of the cast makes them a non-issue for me.

The trailer was one of the best parts of Planet Terror (I liked it more than some of my friends, but they mostly all talked up the Machete trailer) so it's great to see it finally happening as a full movie.

Sony Pictures Acquires 'Machete' for International Distribution

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group has acquired most international distribution rights for Robert Rodriguez's Machete, unfortunately that doesn't do much for us here in the States. Machete is the feature-length version of the trailer that originally appeared in Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse. The pic is in production in Austin, Texas, with a cast that includes Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Cheech Marin, Michelle Rodriguez and Rose McGowan. Its story centers on a former Mexican police officer who turns the tables on the masterminds who double-crossed him. Rodriguez, who wrote the screenplay, co-directs with Ethan Maniquis. Sony worked with Rodriguez on the so-called Mexico Trilogy -- El Mariachi, Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

The Crazy Babysitter Twins Become Sexy Nurses in 'Machete'!

Bloody Disgusting learned exclusively that Elise and Electra Avellan aka "The Crazy Babysitter Twins" from Grindhouse have been added to the ever growing cast of Robert Rodriguez's Machete. This time they will be known as "The Sexy Nurses" - perhaps the idea was inspired by their Maxim shoot where they were dressed up as sexy nurses (check out the pic below)? The twins will be appearing at Spooky Empire in Orlando Florida with "Machete" co-star Danny Trejo on October 9-11, 2009. There will be a special midnight screening on Saturday night of the twin's new film The Black Waters of Echo's Pond at the event. Get your tickets now!

The twins star alongside Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Robert De Niro, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson, Jeff Fahey in the Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis co-directed film.

Machete is a Mexican ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day laborer, who is double-crossed by a corrupt state senator.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
