Nov 4 2009'Machete' Shuffles One Step Closer to Reality
With Robert Rodriguez every week claiming he's working on a new project (where are Sin City 2, Barbarella, and The Jetsons, Rob?) it's hard to take any film he says he'll do too seriously until there's hard evidence. Well, here's a little. Machete takes one dainty step towards actualization this week with the first character poster premiering at the American Film Market. I'll remain skeptical of its existence until I end up accidentally seeing it on a plane (even if I see it in a theater, only that later plane viewing will convince me of its existence). After all, the film will reportedly also star Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan, and Steven Seagal, which sounds like such an incredibly unlikely, fake cast that it basically negates the reality any posters of Jessica Alba in Linda-Hamilton-in-Terminator mode.

I was doing some work for a charter school that is on the grounds of the old Austin State School while they were filming part of this a month or so ago. Here is a link to some guy's flikr set of pictures from the property. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hcoyote/sets/72157602314998131/ About half of the property is run-down and boarded up. It really is a cool spot to film stuff and the folks at the charter school said that it happens fairly often there. I didn't see anyone famous myself, but lots of the kids were talking about spotting De Niro and Lohan.

I live in Downtown Austin, and I have actually watched them filming this movie. Over a period of two weeks I did in fact see DeNiro, Segal, McGowan, Lohan, and Alba all filming scenes. I was actually sitting in my house when they blew up a cop car up on a sidewalk for one of the scenes. It is actually real.
