In addition to Lady Gaga, Vanessa Hudgens is in the film. WTF? Is everyone going to be in this? :P The cast is huge.

Charlie Sheen changes his name to Carlos Estevez for the movie. But my interest in the movie has risen since seeing the cast list..

Quote:
The September 13 release also stars Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Sofia Vergara, Amber Heard, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Jessica Alba, Demien Bichir, Alexa Vega, Vanessa Hudgens, Cuba Gooding, Jr., William Sadler, Marko Zaror and Mel Gibson.


Mel FUCKING Gibson!!! :D

Not to mention lots of scantily clad sexy hotties.

Can't wait to see the first trailer. Gibson as baddie should be fantastic.

If he's given licence to act it up, sure. But if he's treated like Steven Seagal was in the first, then it'll be shit (not as shit because this is Gibson, but still).

I've seen the trailer twice now (thanks Regal Cinemas) and it baffled both audiences I saw it with. I think people have pretty much forgotten that the first one even existed.

And even though I wasn't a big fan of the original, this does look like it could be fun.

Well, yeah, the first was such a small grosser, I doubt anybody ever saw it (DVD or cinema). But I didn't know there was a trailer yet...

The first did 44.3 Million worldwide on a 10.5 Million budget and a shockingly strong 15 Million in DVD sales.

None of those figures are a lot, and probably meant 99% of the USA didn't see the movie.

But it was certainly enough. With this cast the sequel should be able to pull in just as much, give or take a couple million.

Not all movies need to make $100+ million to be called success stories. I didn't even like Machete but it was definitely a success.

I'm not talking about success. Go back and see why I started talking about this mini-topic..

Sure it's not why you started posting in here, but you did say.

Anyway, I hope the trailer is online soon. I'm excited to see it. I imagine it will be this week since people had it attached to either Hangover or Fast 6 this past weekend.

It looks very entertaining and that is coming from someone who hated the first. Sofia Vergara made me LOL so hard in it. :P My best friend also wants to see it and she hated the first more than I did.

But I don't think there is an actual trailer. It is a Regal first look, similar to the ones that were recently for Les Miserables and The Great Gatsby.

JMart said he thought people in his cinema had perhaps forgotten the first was made. Hence why I said 'not many people saw it anyway', meaning that I'm not surprised.

I did very well in TV viewings as well, I believe the TV rights sold for like $15 million, and the Red Box and On Demand numbers were both over 50 million just in the states.

It's getting harder and harder to track these numbers, especially what they are doing OD, and RB, in a lot of cases they are outgrossing DVD sales at this point. But Machete was on Red Box for an a ridiculously long period of a time, almost a year.

But for Machete to make 10X it's budget as spinoff of Grindhouse flopping so badly, it shows the double feature thing was a bad idea, but doing them individually at smaller budgets is the way to go.

The teaser for this (which I saw at an AMC and it wasn't a First Look thing) was fantastic.

Can't wait for it to come out.
