Trejo Says Next “Machete” Set in Space

An odd or perhaps not so odd piece of news here for fans of the “Machete” series.  Star Danny Trejo tells Halloween Daily News that the ex-federale WILL get the women and kill the bad guys… in space.

“Robert and I are going to start to do ‘Machete Kills in Space,’ so that’s going to be awesome,” says Trejo. “Absolutely. We’re going to be working on it this year.”

Of course, the spoofy idea for Machete Kills in Space was fleshed out in a short fake trailer tacked on to the end of Machete Kills, and boasts the return of Michelle Rodriguez’s Luz along with a handful of yet-to-be-determined celebrity cameos that have become the series’ trademark.  So it’s not an April fools joke, the news also surfaced yesterday on the second.

I hope that this means that Robert Rodriguez is too busy to work on another Predator then, which he said a year or two ago was happening.  Not that I thought “Predators” was a bad movie, rather Shane Black needs to be given maximum breathing space for his version.
