Mel Gibson Going Crazy for Machete Kills

Everyone and their grandmothers seem to be piling on the Mel Gibson hate-fueled bandwagon nowadays. That’s okay, though, because Gibson is a tough sonovabitch, and lord knows he hasn’t been this entertaining in years. Next up for the troubled actor….

According to Deadline, Mel Gibson is now in serious discussions to play a supporting role in Machete Kills, the Robert Rodriguez-directed sequel that will bring Danny Trejo back as the blade-wielding former Federale title character.

Machete Kills is a Quick Draw Production, produced by Rodriguez, Alexander Rodnyansky, Quick Draw’s Aaron Kaufman and Iliana Nikolic, Sergei Bespalov, and Rick Schwartz. A script has been written by Kyle Ward and developed by Rodriguez and Marcel Rodriguez.

The new film finds Machete (Danny Trejo) recruited by the U.S. Government for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man. Machete must battle his way through Mexico to take down a madman cartel leader and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war across the planet with a weapon in space. Machete takes on an army in an effort to dismantle a plan for global anarchy.

Look for more soon!
