MTV reports that Robert Rodriguez is trying to sign Lindsay Lohan for Machete, his feature-length extension of the fake trailer he shot for Grindhouse.
In an interview at Comic-Con, Rodriguez said he already has her in mind.
Lindsay's cool. There's actually a cool part in the movie for her — if she takes it.
Danny Trejo, who played the title character in the trailer, is already on board to reprise his role, and Rodriguez added that he's courting several other big stars.
We've cast nobody but Danny and Michelle Rodriguez, but we've sent the script out to a lot of people. There are a lot of people we're sending it to, big names — but nobody that we've signed yet ... Next week, or maybe the week after, probably while we're actually shooting.
Other stars rumored for Machete are Robert De Niro and Jonah Hill. The movie goes into production in a few weeks and is slated for release sometime in 2010.
