New Movie Role for Lindsay

Rumor has it that our girl, Lindsay Lohan may be staring in the upcoming Robert Rodriguez film, Machete.

This would be great news for Lindsay who has recently fallen upon some hard times.  Romance and gossip are the hottest items in her career right now and it is time to bring it back to her talent.  For those of you who are not familiar with Roberto Rodriguez’s work, he is the mastermind director behind such cult hits as From Dusk Till Dawn and Grindhouse.

The trailer for Machete was shot several years ago as a fake exploitation movie and was shown within the real movie Grindhouse.  Here is the official trailer, if you haven’t had a chance to catch Grindhouse yet.

The mock trailer was so well received that it motivated Rodriguez to get started on the real film as soon as possible.

When questioned about the upcoming project at last week’s Comic-Con, Rodriguez revealed few details.

“I can’t say too much about it, “Except that we start shooting in a couple weeks!”

He also added that we should prepare ourselves for the “set-up, double-crossed and left for dead” illegal immigrant who “knows the score, gets the women … and kills the bad guys!”

And while Rodriguez would not outright confirm rumors of Hollywood heavyweight Robert DeNiro signing on, he did reveal that he wants Lindsay to be part of the project.

“Lindsay’s cool,” Rodriguez said. “There’s actually a cool part in the movie for her — if she takes it.”

We certainly hope she does, too!
