Oh, Machete Kills! Why is Robert Rodriguez so fixated on making me worry about this movie? Lady Gaga (who already has her own poster)? Charlie Sheen? Mel Gibson? Why is this movie like a dumpster of all celebrities who just need to disappear already?
But, I'm not going to lie, this new poster - with William Sadler as Sheriff Doakes, in a big ol' cowboy hat with a big ol' gun, warms my heart. I love me some Sadler! The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, that great teen sci-fi romantic drama Roswell, of which I'm sure I was the only fan - he's been great in them all, playing a stereotypical Southern boy. Sometimes he ends up having a heart and sometimes, well, he's just a goddamn bigot.
Until now Sadler's character name in Machete Kills hadn't necessarily been confirmed, but with this poster we know he's playing an arm of the law - and with that scowl, maybe not the nicest guy around. Perhaps he'll be facing off (violently, of course) against the rest of the cast, which includes Danny Trejo returning as an assassin hired by the U.S. government to take out a dastardly arms dealer, as well as Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Demian Bichir, Sofia Vergara, Amber Heard, Alexa Vega and Zoe Saldana.
