Machete Trailer – Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez take on Arizona Immigration

Very fun and timely trailer for Machette that was introduced via Ain’t It Cool News honcho Harry Knowles, who relayed that Robert Rodriguez – Machete’s director and producer – is calling this his “Illegal trailer”. Lots of familiar (and lovely) faces both in the movie and trailer. Machete is a forthcoming full blown film based on the faux-trailer on Grindhouse. the film features Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Rose McGowan and Lindsay Lohan, among many others–and released yesterday as Cinco de Mayo message for the recent immigration law passed in Arizona. We have talked Machete before, noting this poster of Jessica Alba

I got to see this!

Film Synopsis - The feature version of the trailer finds Machete (Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (De Niro) a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Marin) his “holy” brother, and April (Lohan) a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.
