The various stars of the Mexploitation film Machete, directed by Robert Rodriguez, came out to The Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, CA last night for the film’s premiere … save for one very famous notorious castmember. Lindsay Lohan, who enjoyed her first full day of freedom from jail and rehab yesterday, was not in attendance at last night’s premiere event for Machete despite the fact that she is featured in the film. Her fellow co-stars, tho, expressed their support for the troubled young starlet and spoke well of her on the red carpet last night. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals last night and some deets of the support shown for L. Lo by her Machete co-stars:
Judging by her talent on display in the new movie Machete, Lindsay Lohan has a great shot at rekindling her movie career, her costars said Wednesday at a screening in Los Angeles. “Lindsay is so good in the movie, and I can’t wait for her to see it,” Jessica Alba, 29, told PEOPLE on the red carpet. “It’s awesome. She’s great. I’m very proud.” Director Robert Rodriguez echoed that sentiment. “I can’t wait for her to see it,” he said. “She’s awesome in the movie. She’s going to enjoy it a lot. … She can do anything she wants [in this business]. This movie is so great for her. I think she’s got a lot of talent, obviously. So, it’s all up to her.” … Danny Trejo, who plays the title character in Machete, forecast only good things for Lohan. “Lindsay’s gonna be cool. She knows it. I know it,” he says. “You know, she got in a little trouble, and now she’s had a little time to put her head together. She’ll be alright. We’ll pick her up again.” While not addressing Lohan’s situation directly, another Machete cast member, Michelle Rodriguez, talked about overcoming problems as a young actress. The former Lost star, 32, has a remarkably similar story to Lohan’s, having spent time in jail herself for violating probation in a DUI case. “This crazy little party girl who loves to enjoy life actually has a purpose,” Rodriguez said. “So, that’s really the core of why I’ve survived so many years and I can go and I can fall down and I can get back up. Why? Because I know why I’m here.” She adds: “That’s the question that a lot of people need to answer when they do fall is, ‘Why am I here?’ If you can answer that question, you’ll be able to dust yourself off and shine like a phoenix out of ashes.”
Judging from these comments alone, it sounds like Lindsay has a lot of support and a lot of people pulling for her. While I am not convinced in the slightest that she is truly ready to turn her life around, I like to think that the positive vibes put out by these very kind people might have a positive affect on her. Time will tell, but no matter how much good other people want for Lindsay she won’t get any of it unless she puts in the work herself.
But, enough about her. Machete will open in theaters on September 3 and judging by the red band trailer that was released back in May, it looks absolutely kick ass! After the jump, check out the trailer again for a little refresher …
I am DYING to see this film! Woot!
