‘Machete Kills’ Script Already Completed
A Machete sequel has already been written, according to the film’s leading man. Danny Trejo, who plays a Mexican ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, revealed that filmmaker Robert Rodriguez has already put pen to paper. “I asked him when he was going to write it and he says it’s written, so we can get started pretty quick,” the actor revealed on the red carpet in Los Angeles. Danny demonstrated his more cuddly side in the city by riding on a float in the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade. The action star admitted he’d been blown away by Machete‘s reception. “We went all over the world with that movie and people kept having me sign these Machete action figures, it was a lot of fun,” he confessed. “I don’t even think Robert Rodriguez even expected that reception and now everyone is waiting for Machete 2 so hurry up Robert Rodriguez!” Danny laughed. Trejo told Bloody Disgusting the sequels will be titled Machete Kills and Machete Kills Again.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
