yay! a little bit of a change, right? in a turn of events, the movie industry is leaking out casting news rather than television. woo. the trailer for machete (above) ran as a spoof before the theatrical presentation of quentin tarantino and robert rodriguez's 2007 double-feature grindhouse. now, it seems, rodriguez is actually turning the mock-film into a full fledged movie. danny trejo (the "machete" of the title) will reprise his role and is joined by michelle rodriguez. but, those two names aren't the surprising casting news. instead, rodriguez says he has a certain starlet in mind for a "cool part" in the film: lindsay lohan. yep. rodriguez told mtv that, if lindsay decides to take the part, he'd be happy to have her, even though filming starts in just a couple weeks. this might be just the perfect vehicle for lindsay to get back into the "mainstream." still, i think she should attempt a career in tv ... and in even wackier news, miley cyrus is attempting to parlay her tv stardom into a full fledged movie career. the disney actress reportedly stopped by warner brothers in a batsuit in an attempt to get the role of batgirl in the upcoming dark knight sequel, which starts shooting next year. miley even came equipped with some "batgirl themed" dialogue to show off her acting chops. problem? the dialogue and cyrus' acting chops apparently didn't add up to much for the execs. yet, there is still hope; cyrus is a big name to grab. but, is batgirl supposed to be a southern belle? i don't know if that will fit in with gotham city vibe. if they're angling younger, i'd say go with emma roberts. she's proved herself in some more dramatic fare and would fit in better with the edgier look of the recent batman films.
