I heard it today! Finally the movie i was waiting for!!!!

Robert Rodriguez's hotly anticipated Machete will premiere on the opening night of the 67th Annual Venice Film Festival. 

Variety is reporting that the film, inspired by the faux trailer inGrindhouse, will be shown as a midnight movie, and will follow another action flick, Andrew Lau's Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zen. 

The premiere will give the film's stars an excuse for a nice Venice vacation. The cast includes Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Don Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez,Steven Seagal and Cheech Marin. Rodriguez's partner in crime, Quentin Tarantino, will also be there as he is heading this year's jury. 

The festival is scheduled to premiere Machete on September 1, which is only a few days ahead of the film's U.S. release date of September 3. If you haven't seen the preview for Machete, or eaten recently, check out the red band trailer below.
