‘Machete Kills Again… In Space’ Shooting This Year?
Robert Rodriguez regular Danny Trejo was on hand signing autographs at the Mad Monster convention in Charlotte, NC this past weekend were he revealed to HalloweenDailyNews that filming begins later this year on Machete Kills Again…In Space.
“Robert and I are going to start to do Machete Kills In Space, so that’s going to be awesome. Absolutely. We’re going to be working on it this year,” he tells the site.
Machete Kills Again…In Space is the third in a trilogy that started with the faux trailer included in Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s 2007 Grindhouse. By 2010 he had a feature-length Machete (co-directed by Ethan Maniquis) in theaters, followed up by the terrible 2013 Machete Kills.
After the disaster that was Machete Kills, it’s sort of surprising that Rodriguez is able to get the third off the ground. And even though I don’t like either of the Machete films, the new one looks ridiculous enough to get me into a theater. I just wish Rodriguez would stop with the CGI blood that he does so poorly.
In the first Machete, “After being set-up and betrayed by the man who hired him to assassinate a Texas Senator, an ex-Federale launches a brutal rampage of revenge against his former boss.“
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
