Does This New Poster Mean We'll Get to See Machete?!
Filed under: Horror, Thrillers, RumorMonger, Remakes and Sequels, Posters
I loved Grindhouse. Well, I loved Planet Terror, loved the ads, and liked Death Proof. But I loved, loved, loved the Machete trailer. Being a huge fan of Danny Trejo, Machete gave me just what I wanted -- a silly movie focused on someone I love watching. Of course, after Grindhouse came out, there were tons of rumors about Machete getting his own feature film. Some believed it. Some didn't. I just hoped.The other day, The Movie Blog threw up the poster to the right, which you can see on their site in all of its full-sized glory. Is this really an official poster for Machete? Is it really on its way? Was a script completed before the strike? I would hope that "yes," is the answer to all of those, but I'm trying to reign in my excitement for now.
In the meantime, we can fangirl and fanboy away. What do you think of the poster? Me, I like it, but it would lose a lot of its charm if its grainy artwork was shown on a shiny, slick new poster. My thought: keep it as-is, but send it to all theaters folded where the folds are, and printed without gloss. That would be sweet, but not as sweet as the decent man who was living a decent life, but now he is a brutal savage who must slaughter to stay alive!

While I doubt this is being made (someone at the Movie Blog commented that you can buy this at any Hot Topic -- speaking of which, I got a badass Thanksgiving poster from a closing Hot Topic at a local mall, thank god I saw it from the window), it would be amazing. I'm drooling.

This poster was featured in the Making of Grindhouse book that came out with the film's theatrical release... Also, I saw Robert Rodriguez speak in Austin this weekend and he didn't mention anything about it... Sorry...

I hope this thing is made, that would be great. I, on the other hand, really, really hated Planet Terror but fell in love with Death Proof.

I loved Planet Terror, I liked Death Proof a good deal but I felt they should have switched the order of the films. Having said that the whole experience would have been lesser if not for the fake trailers.
I would see any future films based off of the trailers but especially Werewolf Women of the SS and Machete. I hope they do decide to make it a feature... In truth I hope they'd make Grindhouse 2 as Machete and WWotSS and Grindhouse 3 as Don't and Thanksgiving. I know it won't happen but a geek can dream.
