Director Robert Rodriguez tweeted first word today that the pop star would make her acting debut in Machete Kills (the sequel to 2010′s Machete) playing La Chameleon. “I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills, she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away”! Rodriguez wrote. Gaga confirmed the news in her own tweet: “Yes its true, I will be making my debut as an actress ln the amazing MACHETE KILLS BY @RODRIGUEZ IM SO EXCITED!!! AH! Filming was insane”. Amber Heard, Danny Trejo, Sofia Vergara, and Mel Gibson also star. No release date has been announced.


Then , GYPSY! witth BARBRA & Spielberg. Not that is the real story….
Possibly the most perfect stunt casting in the history of stunt casting.
And I think 90 percent of my interest in this movie just went out the door.
Interesting. But still disappointed Rodriguez would actually give Mel Gibson a job.
Even if the point is to see him get sliced into pieces by the end the film, Rodriguez apparently sees nothing wrong with hiring an anti-Semitic misogynist.
Mr. FU sez . . .
Just like it was fine for Todd Phillips to hire a convicted rapist in Mike Tyson? Or countless directors hiring former drug addicts (list too long to mention).
Hollywood is full of 2nd, 3rd and 25th chances. Mel’s a great talent. But, he’s also a batshit bigot – like a lot of America and the world.
At some point, ‘celebrity’ needs to die and people need to watch a performer for their performance, not who they are in the outside world. All of them are imperfect and the idoltry of Hollywood needs to subside.
So, what you’re saying is, we should give O.J. Simpson more acting jobs? I mean, why not, he was great in the Naked Gun movies. No reason not to put him in a movie since what he is on-screen is completely different from who he is real life.
Bullshit, my friend. I call bullshit.
She looks absolutely gorgeous. Now looking forward to this movie.
Why the fur coat? That will stop me from seeing this. I don’t care if it’s part of her “character”! I saw the first movie and it didn’t have characters, just types.
Ahhh yes, more batshit insanity
Is her costume made out of meat?
I agree- the poster is too offensive. I won’t watch any movie that cares so little about animal rights. Fuck it and her.
Question for Robert Rodriguez: would you have been so quick to hire Mel Gibson had the latter screamed about “spics” and “wetbacks” instead of “heebs” and “kikes”?
Why does Rodriguez make sequels no one wants to see? The first Machete only made $44 million worldwide. It may have been cheap to make, but with marketing, etc. – and the box office says there wasn’t a huge interest in the film. Also, no one was begging for the last Spy Kids either, and it sucked ballz. I guess this is what happens when you have your own financing and don’t have to answer to anyone. Maybe accountability isn’t such a bad thing after all. And don’t get me started on Sharkboy and Lava Girl. “Hey, let’s make a movie based on a story my kids made up even though it’s super lame!!!”
Plus another $20M in DVD sales, on a $10M budget.
Your an idiot and know nothing about filmmaking or Hollywood for that matter. Keep you senseless comments to yourself please. No one cares if I’m a former drug addict or if I dislike Jewish people. If I can act and get casted in movies than you have to deal with it. So deal with it!
Michael,
Are you a reality star? Because you just said “casted.”
She’s temendously talented but that face is meant for radio, not the big screen.
I am also offended by the dead animal, but she likes to push the limits of taste. She is a modern throwback to the Warhol and Waters stars.
