Robert Rodriguez's first Machete was ridiculously over the top and fun. Needless to say it would be fun to see a sequel. Rodriguez has talked about the film being a trilogy, and he's now moving forward on the next chapter in the franchise, Machete Kills. It's going to be great to see the adventures of the blade-wielding Mexican ex-Federale continue.

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.

Rodriguez is teaming up with producer Alexander Rodnyansky. As for what we can expect for the sequel, the filmmaker said, "The fan response to the Machete character has been fanatical since his first appearance. Machete is truly a super hero and Machete Kills will be bigger and more ambitious than the first time." So I guess we can expect seeing some much more epic Machete kills.

Talks are currently underway with Danny Trejo to reprise his role, as well as many of the other surviving cast members. They are looking to start shooting the film in April. And just incase you forgot and were wondering what the third film will be called, it's Machete Kills Again.

Are you excited to see Machete come back to kill some ass?

滬江娛樂快訊:據稱,影片的劇本已經基本完成,編劇是凱爾·瓦德。“粉絲表現了對‘彎刀’這個角色的熱愛”,羅德里格茲說,“彎刀是個真正的超級英雄,續(xù)集里將進一步放大,比第一部更加有野心?!?/p>

最新一版的故事里,彎刀被美國政府招募即將要執(zhí)行一項常人很難完成的任務,他必須要橫穿墨西哥,擒獲卡特爾組織的瘋子頭目,還有一個擁有太空武器并企圖發(fā)起全球戰(zhàn)爭的武器狂人。與彎刀通行的還有一支軍方隊伍,他們將聯合作戰(zhàn)共同將無政府主義計劃瓦解掉。

而第一部的主演丹尼·特喬有望回歸,其他演員也在進一步商談當中。影片計劃于今年四月正式開機。

《彎刀》由羅伯特·羅德里格茲和伊桑·曼尼奎斯共同執(zhí)導。故事源于羅德里格茲2007年作品《刑房》里的一個偽預告片。故事的主人公彎刀(“疤臉猛男”丹尼·特喬 飾)是一個技術嫻熟的墨西哥殺手。影片以血腥暴力的風格得到眾多Cult片粉絲的喜愛,但只在全球獲得不到5000萬的票房。?
