Where is Lindsay Lohan in the 'Machete' Trailer?

By John Mitchell Posted May 5th 2010 02:35PM

Here we go again.

In April, PopEater reported that Lindsay Lohan had been left off the cover of the 'Mean Girls' video game, and we speculated that the marketing team behind the game may have been leery of associating the actresses current, troubled image with the teen-friendly game.

Now, the trailer for Lohan's latest movie, Robert Rodriguez's hotly-anticipated 'Machete,' has been released -- but if you blink you'll miss her. What gives?

Lohan is part of an all-star ensemble cast that includes Robert DeNiro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Danny Trejo. According to IMDB, the film is about an ex-Federale who goes on a brutal rampage of revenge after being betrayed by his former boss. It is based on a fake trailer that was featured as part of the Rodriguez-Quentin Tarantino double feature, 'Grindhouse.' IMDB notes that she filmed her role in three days.

She appears in the trailer only when her name flashes across the screen; she is dressed as a gun-wielding nun and does not speak.

Unlike the 'Mean Girls' game, which is aimed at a younger audience, 'Machete' is a violent, curse word-laden film from a director whose last picture featured a character whose amputated leg was replaced by a machine gun. It's curious that they wouldn't play up Lohan's participation. Whether she is or is not a "troubled" in real life, she is often portrayed as such, so why not show her in all her bad girl glory? Because really, at this point, isn't that what we all want to see anyway -- Lindsay Lohan being a bad girl doing bad girl things? Shouldn't she be all over this thing?

Check out the trailer below. WARNING, it feature extreme violence and graphic language (we mean it ... things get rough!):

While she doesn't show up in most of the action scenes, she does get her own short segment. Hey, she's in a movie with *DeNiro*-- it's not exactly a sign of career slump if her part is less pronounced in the trailer for a movie starring DeNiro as a bad guy...

Is anybody forcing you to read about her or forcing you to buy tickets to watch her at a theater? If nobody is, then just go about your own business and leave the woman alone.

I think Lindsey is a very talented girl, but perhaps her upbringing pays a part in her life now. I remember when she was singing acting awe really wanted to see her and no one else, like in mean girls..or Herbie she was very cute and the audience couldn't get enough of her!! I wish I was her mother!! I really don't like to read any bad publicity especially when they put down a young girl!! Most tabloid written by man!!! Disguisting they gossip more than woman yak!! I read it here never by their junk paper not worth it!!

It just shows that DeNiro is desperate and in a slump. Look at the cast list... YIKES! If you write him a check, DeNiro will play a bad guy in your movie. I love him, but he cheapens his legacy with this type of crap.

I get it now! This isn't a trailer! It's a joke re: the new Arizona law!

If the filmmakers had the bad taste to cast her, I will have the good taste to avoid this movie. Linzey Loman sux and will not get one red cent from me to put up her nose.
