Danny Trejo Talks About Machete Kills!

Danny Trejo and director Robert Rodriguez discussed making two sequels to the movie, Machete Kills and Machete Kills Again. The film, which only cost around $10.5 million to make, has gone on to gross more than $40 million, which almost guarantees that at least the first sequel will be made.

The film is the second in a planned trilogy. But with both Rodriguez and Trejo's busy schedules, the question remains: When will Machete Kills go in to production?

"The fan response to the Machete character has been fanatical since his first appearance," Robert Rodriguez said. "Machete is truly a super hero and Machete Kills will be bigger and more ambitious than the first time."

Danny Trejo is in talks to reprise the title role. Robert Rodriguez expects many of the original cast to return. A script has been written by Kyle Ward.

The new film finds Machete recruited by the U.S. Government for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man. Machete must battle his way through Mexico to take down a madman cartel leader and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war across the planet with a weapon in space. Machete takes on an army in an effort to dismantle a plan for global anarchy.

An April production start date is being eyed.
