\"Lindsay_Lohan\"<\/a>Has Robert Rodriguez cast actress and perpetual tabloid fodder Lindsay Lohan in his new film Machete<\/strong>? It certainly looks like it according to Lohan’s Twitter account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Late this past Friday, Lohan twittered<\/a>, “something was made official today!!!!!!!!!” and then followed it up a few minutes later by tweeting<\/a> a link to the IMDB<\/a>‘s Machete<\/strong> page. Seems pretty conclusive, doesn’t it?
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Machete<\/strong> started life as a faux-trailer in Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse<\/strong> mashup, though Rodriguez was very quick to announce that he wanted to make a full length version of the story of a former Mexican Federale-turned-day laborer (Danny Trejo) who becomes entangled in a plot to assassinate a Senator. You can check out the Grindhouse trailer below, but be warned, it is extremely NSFW. (Unless you work in a strip club.)<\/p>\n

Have Rodriguez and Machete<\/strong> co-director Ethan Maniquis cast Lohan for her acting abilities (Go back and look at Mean Girls<\/strong> and A Prairie Home Companion<\/strong> before her life became a tabloid circus. She’s pretty good.) or are they looking to play off the tradition of a starlet in a career decline taking a job in an exploitation flick? Either way, it is an interesting choice and perhaps Lohan can use the role as a way to launch a come back.<\/p>\n
