Talk about art imitating life. Robert Rodriguez wrote the script for Machete well over a year ago, based off the fake trailer presented during his half of
Grindhouse alongside Quentin Tarantino. Little did he know that the idea he spawned would have real world parallels when it hits theaters on September 3rd. How's that? The film's story is very similar to the situation taking place in Arizona right now. The only difference is, Machete ain't sittin' back and lettin' The Man screw him and his boys over.
As a Cinco de Mayo gift of sorts, Rodriguez has put together a special trailer specifically for the people in Arizona, and it's absolutely badass. The only thing it needs is a mock-up of Jan Brewer burning in effigy.
