Has Robert Rodriguez lost his mind? Even I’m beginning to wonder and you know that cinematic weirdness is my bread and butter.
So it was just a couple days ago when I filled you in on the startling addition of Lindsay Lohan to the cast of Machete. Well, I just got an updated cast list, and frankly, I’m just baffled. Take a look at this list and tell me if you see ANYTHING wrong here: Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey.
For those of you wondering, no, I never believed I’d live to see the day when Robert De Niro shared the screen with Lindsay Lohan. Or Steven Seagal. And after the slow painful death of Nash Bridges I NEVER believed I’d see Cheech and Don together again.
Don’t even get me started on my puzzlement at the sudden reappearance of Jeff Fahey, either. Guy’s been doing TV and one-shots since 2007–and this is his first feature in nigh on three years.
I’ve got to admit, if Machete didn’t have my interest before (which it did, but only in a limited sort of way) it definitely does now. I am all locked into this sucker now and eagerly await its reappearance.
Dave (47), John Carr (97), Kathy Pease (136) are the winners!!
Enter the lethal world of Driven To Kill – a take-no-prisoners crime saga that pits Seagal against a deadly criminal syndicate! Seagal stars as Ruslan Drachev, a highly-respected former enforcer in the New York-based Russian Mob, who long ago abandoned the gangland lifestyle to pursue a more peaceful career as a crime novelist. But his world is turned upside down when he learns that his daughter is engaged to marry a Russian gangster who also happens to be Ruslan’s cold-hearted nemesis from the bad old days. When a shocking act of brutality forces Ruslan to return to the sinister underbelly of his past, he must mete out his own merciless, murderous brand of justice, until no enemy is left standing!
Get ready for bullets, blood, and bodies hitting the ground, because international action superstar Steven Seagal is back… with a vengeance!

Talking to MTV News, Steven Seagal dropped word that he wants to make a third Under Siege film, the action star’s most popular franchise yet.
However, going the opposite direction of the series’ focus on realism, Seagal wants there to be aliens in the third film.
"I personally want it to be something more modern… In other words… I wouldn’t mind if it was about something more mystical or…maybe extraterrestrial in nature,” he said. “Some real government top secrets instead of just the typical."
However, the project is still not in the works, with Seagal noting that “there are offers and we’re looking at them.”
