The “El Mariachi vs. Natural Born
Killers” idea has been on the
back burner for almost ten years, and
fans the world over have been worried
about its progress. But, in November
2005 they will see that their efforts,
and the efforts of many, will come to
fruition.
“I was a big fan of ‘El
Mariachi’ and it’s sequels,”
says Latin crooner and new J.Lo ornament
Marc Anthony, who will replace Antonio
Banderas as the vengeful guitarist.
“[Robert] Rodriguez is the Mexican
Scorsese.”
Banderas is not the only alumni who
couldn’t make it to the party.
Woody “Mickey Knox” Harrelson
himself bowed out due to scheduling
conflicts with his new indie film “Bong
In Utah” which he wrote, produced,
co-directed, and is starring in.
There is rumor that perhaps rap star
Eminem will fill his shoes as the devilish
mass murderer.
If you thought that was surprising,
the cameo filled madness of a movie
also boasts Branford Marsalis as a getaway
driver, Samuel L. Jackson reprising
his role as “Pulp Fiction’s
Jules Winfield, Bruce Willis as a United
States Customs Official, and Ryan Seacrest
as the bounty hunter who is always one
step behind Marc Anthony’s “Mariachi.”
The two most prominent leading ladies
on the roster are Mallory Knox (possibly
Fairuza Balk, though there is talk of
enlisting singer Pink), and El Mariachi’s
new flame, a hairstylist-turned-gunslinger
(Charisma Carpenter).
So all you fans that have been calling
out for a showdown between El Mariachi
and The Knoxes, never you fear! It’s
right around the corner.
We won’t know the details until
principal photography starts in a couple
of months, but read the trades, stay
alert, and we will keep you posted on
developments as they arrive!
