Machete - Lindsay Lohan may be in it?

Who would have seen this one coming for the cool looking Machete.

"I can't say too much about it except we start shooting in a couple weeks," Rodriguez told MTV News. "These things come together very quickly and we're casting right now. The script just came out great."

Along with addressing the uncommon need for the film to live up to its trailer, the director said the only official casting thus far has been Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez. While he wouldn't confirm rumors that Robert DeNiro might have a role in the film, he did say that Lindsay Lohan has a part waiting for... if she wants it.

"Lindsay's cool," said Rodriguez. "There's actually cool part in the movie for her if she takes it."

So she is not signed up but has a possible cool role in the movie. Do you think Lohan should be in it? What role do you think she would be playing?

Scorsese and De Niro working together again.

Paramount Pictures have got screenwriter Steve Zaillian (Schindler's List, Hannibal, Gangs of New York, American Gangster) to adapt Charles Brandt's book "I Heard You Paint Houses" for the great Martin Scorsese to direct.

It gets better. Robert De Niro has already signed on to play Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran, a reputed criminal who has carried out more than 25 mob murders. The story follows the mob assassin who many believe was involved in the death of Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa.

I Heard You Paint Houses refers to the mob slang for contract killings, and the resulting blood splatter on walls and floors.

Now Scorsese has been making good films lately and De Niro has not. Hopefully, having the two of them together making another gangster movie should mean we get some cinematic gold.

What do you think? Excited?

The Good Shepherd a trilogy?

I watched The Good Shepherd starring Matt Damon at the cinema when it first came out. I really enjoyed it although it was painfully slow in places. It now looks as if De Niro (who starred and produced it) has got plans for it to be the start of a trilogy. This from FirstShowing.Net:

Actor and now filmmaker Robert De Niro told press at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic that he would like to make two more sequels to his 2006 CIA drama The Good Shepherd. This news definitely came out of left field - I thought the film wrapped itself up neatly and we were done with it two years ago. De Niro didn't reveal any details on when these two films might start to come together, but he did reveal what they would both be about. The first would focus on the time from 1961 to 1989 while the other would follow CIA agent Edward Wilson, played by Matt Damon in the original, up to the present day. Both of these films sound like they are only in early development stages and could end up being scrapped before they see the light of day.
