To be released on September 3, 2010 in the United States, Machete will have its world premiere public screening at the 67th Mostra del cinema, on Wednesday September 1 2010, in the Palazzo del Cinema in Venice, Italy.

Machete, Robert Rodriguez’s highly anticipated new action film, conceived as an expansion of the faux Grindhouse trailer, directed by Rodriguez with Ethan Maniquis, will have its world premiere at the Lido as the Midnight film, on the opening night of the 67th Venice International Film Festival.
 
Rodriguez, the man who wrote a new chapter in the history of action films - from El Mariachi (1992) to From Dusk ‘Till Dawn (1996), Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) and Sin City (2005) - here directs an incredible cast, led by Danny Trejo (star of the original faux trailer) in the role of the legendary avenger Machete Cortez. At his side Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Cheech Marin, Steven Seagal, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson, Lindsay Lohan and Robert De Niro, in the role of the corrupt Senator McLaughlin. Filmed in the fall of 2009, the film was also written by Robert Rodriguez, produced by Robert Rodriguez, Elizabeth Avellán and Rick Schwartz, and will be released in the United States by 20th Century Fox.
