OPEN ROAD FILMS WILL BRING ROBERT RODRIGUEZ’S “MACHETE KILLS” TO THEATERS IN 2013
BIGGER AND EVEN MORE BAD**S THAN THE FIRST FILM, “MACHETE KILLS” STARS DANNY TREJO, MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ, SOFIA VERGARA, AMBER HEARD, CHARLIE SHEEN, LADY GAGA, ANTONIO BANDERAS, JESSICA ALBA, DEMIAN BICHIR, ALEXA VEGA, VANESSA HUDGENS, CUBA GOODING, JR., WILLIAM SADLER, MARKO ZAROR AND MEL GIBSON
In MACHETE KILLS, Danny Trejo returns as ex-Federale agent MACHETE, who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man - he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.
"Robert Rodriguez never ceases to wow audiences with his innovative and eye-popping filmmaking. We are thrilled to bring the Machete franchise into the Open Road family and can’t wait to get to work with this incredible cast and the filmmaking team,” stated Ortenberg.
"Open Road is the perfect home for MACHETE KILLS," stated Robert Rodriguez. "Since their inception they have been trailblazers who have turned the theatrical distribution model on its head. I am confident that they will build upon the significant fan fervor that has made Machete such a success."
"One of the companies within my AR Films conglomerate distributed Robert's hit MACHETE in Central and Eastern Europe, and I was delighted to have the opportunity to produce MACHETE KILLS and continue that relationship," stated Rodnyansky. "It's an exciting project for all of us, and we're very happy that it's in such good hands with Tom Ortenberg and Open Road."
The deal was negotiated on behalf of Open Road Films by Ortenberg, General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Operations and Business Affairs Elliott Kleinberg, and Senior Vice President of Acquisitions Ben Cotner. Jere Hausfater and Mark Manuel negotiated on behalf of Aldamisa, along with Graham Taylor and WME Global, who repped the film.
