Way back in 2013, Robert Rodriguez teased third installment Machete Kills in Space at the very end of Machete Kills, but here we are six years later and Danny Trejo still hasn’t been sent off to outer space. What’s the latest on all that? Trejo updates in a chat with Syfy Wire.
“You know what, everybody in the world wants that. I keep telling Robert, and you know, it’s all bogged down in bullshit, so I might do it,” Trejo told the site, suggesting that he may direct the movie himself if nobody else does. Trejo continued, “Yeah. I might just produce it and do it, if he don’t get off his buns! Everybody wants this, I mean, everybody in the world. I’ve been asked that all over the world. ‘Hey, are you going to do Machete in Space?’ It was the biggest thing in the world for a while. I mean, you got endless movies doing number six, number seven, number eight. And Machete had a great story to it, you know what I mean? I might try to figure out how to do that myself. If I could do a movie, I would direct Machete.”
“I’ve just got some great ideas for it,” Trejo added.
In the meantime, catch Danny Trejo in 3 from Hell, in theaters beginning tonight.
