Honestly, I only fully enjoyed half of the Grindhouse double feature. Death Proof was just too much setup for too little payoff while Planet Terror delivered everything I wanted from a grindhouse picutre revival. But my most favorite part of the entire double feature experience was the plethora of fake trailers made just for Grindhouse. Now it seems that one particular trailer is getting not only one feature film treatment, but an entire trilogy.

Machete was the story of a double crossed hit man looking for vengeance on those who set him up to take the fall for the assassination of a government official. Now it looks like Dimension Films is working fast to expand Machete into three feature length films, but here's the catch, they will apparently all be straight to DVD. All of this information comes straight from Machete himself, Danny Trejo, who also confirmed that Robert Rodriguez would definitely be directing. Thanks to BloodyDisgusting for getting this information out of Trejo.

This was definitely one of my favorite trailers from all the faux previews on Grindhouse and while I think one feature film would be fun, I think that a trilogy might be pushing it. We'll see if Robert Rodriguez really comes through. For your viewing pleasure we have embedded the faux trailer for Machete below. Content is NSFW (brief nudity and language).
