CAST EM': 'MACHETE KILLS'

The Machete Kills cast is already impressive with Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Amber Heard, Mel Gibson, Demian Bichir, Sofia Vergara and Antonio Banderas. The previous installment had monolithic amount of actors involved so I wouldn't be shocked to see Robert Rodriguez gathering more actors for supporting roles and cameos. I have a few actors in mind that could make Kills even more crazy than it already is.

SALMA HAYEK: Hayek's giant break in Hollywood was thanks in-part to Robert's second film Desperado which blew up both their careers in 1995. Antonio Banderas also credits his successful career to the film and will be appearing the film in a small role. I assume that Hayek might also want to contribute to the film which will be mostly set in Mexico this time around. Salma will be seen next in Oliver Stone's Savages oddly enough playing a ruthless female Mexican cartel leader. I could see her playing a fast-talking sex worker alongside Sofia Vergara or even an assassin sent after Machete.

NICOLAS CAGE: If anyone could make a great Madman Mendes it would be Cage. He brings an intensity to his roles so I can only imagine what he could be like with Robert directing him. Willam Dafoe played a Mexican cartel leader in Once Upon A Time In Mexico and pulled it off effortlessly. I could see Nicolas doing the same if he's able to develop a convincing Spanish accent. I'm sure dubbing his Spanish would be needed and with a voice completely different from Cage's could also be used for comedic-effect.

AL PACINO: In Machete, we got Robert De Niro in a extremely funny villainous role. I wouldn't be shocked to see Pacino at least being approached for a cameo. Considering he appeared in the disastrous comedy Jack And Jill, so anything is possible now. Personally I've been dying to see him send himself up in an action comedy like this parodying his roles in Carlito's Way and Scarface. He'd make a great U.S. government suit or competing Mexican cartel leader.

JOHN LEGUIZAMO: This amazing character actor has fallen off the radar lately and needs to come back to live-action features. Leguizmo has extensive amount of genre credits which include roles in Die Hard 2, The Fan, Romeo + Juliet, Collateral Damage, Summer of Sam, Assault on Precint 13, Spun and Land of The Dead. I could picture him as a contract hitman for the cartel. It could be interesting to see him being more of professional killer than we've previously seen the other minons in the last film.

Harvey Keitel Also Joining Martin Scorsese's Irishman

I'm just beyond shocked at the amazing cast Martin Scorsese is putting together for The Irishman. First Robert De Niro, then yesterday with the confirmation from the actor himself that Al Pacino and Poe Pesci are joining. Now De Niro tells ShowBiz411 that Harvey Keitel is also in the movie. It's another big reunion with the addition of Keitel who worked with both Robert and Scorsese on such classics as Mean Streets and Taxi Driver. While it's too early to say I believe this new film quite possibly could rival the Departed and Goodfellas in awesomeness.

De Niro Confirms Pesci & Pacino For Scorsese's The Irishman

Robert De Niro while speaking with MTV confirms that Joe Pesci and Al Pacino have roles in The Irishman. The mob film which will be directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Steve Zallian (American Gangster, Gangs of New York) is quickly becoming one of my most anticipated films in development. I think this very well might be the epic teaming of Pacino and De Niro we've all been waiting for.

Robert also reveals Eric Roth (Benjamin Button) wrote a script that involves flashbacks and could be considered for a sequel/prequel in the future.

Pacino & Pesci Could Join De Niro In Scorsese's Irishman

Deadline reports Al Pacino and Joe Pesci are circling roles in the new Martin Scorsese gangster flick The Irishman. The film is based on the novel I Heard You Paint Houses and has Robert De Niro set in the lead role as a prolific mob hitman. It's beyond exciting for the possiblity of seeing De Niro re-teaming with Joe Pesci, it would be their fourth Scorsese film together (Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino). Even more tempting is the chance to finally see Pacino and De Niro work magic together outside of Godfather II and Heat.
