Machete star Danny Trejo is in discussions to take a lead role in an indie biker-thriller Tarantula, movie that will be directed by The Fantastic Four helmer Oley Sassone.
On the other hand, Spartacus: Blood and Sand star, lovely Erin Cummings, is also in talks to join the project that will follow:
“…a woman (Cummings) who breaks away from a tight-knit biker gang to start a new life but finds that escape is not so easy.
Trejo plays the self-styled leader of the gang looking for the woman as well as revenge for his brother’s death.”
The budget of Tarantula is quite low, around $2.5m, and the script is being written by John Kersey.
Trejo is reportedly working with Robert Rodriguez on Machete sequel and prequel and we definitely expect to hear more information about the whole thing as soon as possible.
Tarantula will shoot in Detroit and John Kersey,...

The performance of Machete has had a good effect on Danny Trejo. He's getting cast more often than ever right now. His latest resume addition should be Tarantula, an 'indie biker thriller' in which he'll co-star with Erin Cummings. (And in this case, it's the movie that is indie, not the bikers. Maybe an important point.) Oley Sassone will direct (and also directed the Corman throwaway Fantastic Four, uh-oh) from a script by John Kersey. The story follows "a woman (Cummings) who breaks away from a tight-knit biker gang to start a new life but finds that escape is not so easy. Trejo plays the self-styled leader of the gang looking for the woman as well as revenge for his brother's death." [THR] After the break, Jennifer Garner books a second role in two days, and many possible roles for Gemma Arterton. Earlier today I mentioned Better Living Through Chemistry, which...

Danny Trejo is currently garnering loads of attention for ”Machete”, which seems to be every bit as exciting, blood-thirsty and crowd-pleasing as this trailer suggests.
Trejo has plied his trade for years now as a bit-part (but always memorable) player in pretty much every film Robert Rodriguez has made, as well as Heat, Anaconda and Con Air (IMDb lists 195 acting roles for him!). Now, off the back of Machete’s buzz, producers now seem to think that Trejo can be a viable lead and he is now in discussions to take a lead role in Tarantula, an indie biker-thriller to be directed by Oley Sassone. Erin Cummings is in talks to appear alongside him.
Heat Vision give us the lowdown on the plot:-

I remember I was at some premier after party for some horror movie and I was chatting with Erin Cummings about her upcoming movie Bitch Slap. I know she was just networking to try and get me to write about the film (I never did. Movie is awful and I only made it 15 minutes in before turning it off.) but we talked about all kinds of stuff and have chatted a few times on Facebook, etc. She's a really cool chick who worked hard to get where she is so I'm happy to see she's gotten some success out of this crazy town.Danny Trejo I met during my time in Quentin. I was his training partner in the boxing program and we quickly became homies, overcoming both of our drug addiction issues with the prison's twelve-step program. We still had to occasionally shank fools but we had each other's backs.
