The last I heard is that Robert Rodriguez was thinking about making a straight to DVD movie of Machete but as usual he films a shit load and now he's just gonna make it into a full length feature film.  Odds are it will be late 2008.

That was the original intention, but the film is almost done

While talking with the guys over at IESB, Danny Trejo has said that Bob and Harvey Weinstein have greenlit El Machete. The big kicker -- it won't be a straight-to-DVD release, but a feature film where the machetes in Trejo's jacket can shine larger than life. I'm not sure why they would choose to increase the film's scope after its partnering films did so poorly, but I can't complain. It's great news for people like me, who are huge Trejo fans. Then again, it'd probably get a bigger draw than a gorey, 3-hour horror film -- there's all those action fans and ladies anxious to see Trejo having manly moments with naked women and waterfalls. Or, at least, the former!
