Is Danny Trejo in Predators?

September 28, 2009

The guys from the Punch Drunk Critics blog were at Horrorfind Weekend in Hunt Valley, Maryland this weekend, and they got a few minutes with actor Danny Trejo to try their best to get any new information out of him in regards to his next movie Machete. For whatever reason, they asked him about Sin City 2 and basically got a stock answer before Trejo revealed that "we're doing Predators next," which makes one assume Trejo will be appearing in Robert Rodriguz's Predators, the Rodriguez-produced relaunch to be directed by Nimrod Antal (Vacancy).

Of course, this is not anything too groundbreaking since Trejo has appeared in just about every movie Rodriguez has been involved with going back to El Mariachi, but it does confirm that they're moving forward with the casting on the movie and possibly already have Trejo's ubiquitous role sussed out.

You can watch their video interview below and decide for yourself:

So we're turning Predators into an Apatow movie where all the director's friends show up and take away from the overall film experience?

Idioteque...

You have a very good point,it's good that directors keep working with good actors over and over, as long as they are comfortable with them.

However, I'm kinda missing the old days when true action stars used to do action movies. And by action stars, I mean real athletic, martial arts kind of stars. Probably why I'm excited about seeing Ninja Assassin when it is released.

If you dont like Trejo then there is someting wrong with you. He's the everyman actor. I don't care if they did a live action smurfs movie, Trejo would be Papa Smurf, and I would have no problem with it at all. I mean he made Fanboys EVEN better and he was in like what 3 total mintues of screen time. I can't wait to see Machete, if its even half as good as the mock preview was. I won't be surprised, even with its cast, if its a straight to video, but i dont care i will be there to check it out. Only thing that bugs me about it is Lindsay Lohan is in it. Hopefully they kill her off in the very very beginning, like during the open credit sequence. Also, the first name of the director of Predators is named NIMROD. And I thought naming you kid Apple, or Pilot Inspector was going way out there. NIMROD really take the cake

Danny Trejo is VERY Cult Iconish. I'm excited to see Machete and see him in Predators.

@ Idioteque

I would be more inclined to fit Daniel Craig with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. To put him with the likes of Damon and Hanks should be a punishable offense

Nimrod is not a bad name if you understand the meaning. It's the name of a hunter, which sorta fits because he is directing Predators.

Danny Trejo's death scene in 'Heat' has been enough for me to see everything he's been in ...
