MUMBAI: Charlie Sheen is in talks to play the US president in Machete Kills, the sequel of Machete.
Announcing the same on Twitter, director Rodriguez wrote, " I just cast Charlie Sheen in #machetekills as the President of the United States! Who better? More soon…" . On his part, Sheen re-tweeted the message and is now heard that one of his representative has said that negotiations are taking place.
Rodriguez is currently in production of the film, which will again star Danny Trejo as Machete, Jessica Alba, Mel Gibson, Amber Heard, Sofia Vergara and Zoe Saldana.
The new story sees Machete being called upon by the US government to stop a cartel leader and an arms dealer who have a weapon in space. The broadly-written part initially called for the president to be African-American and have a basketball court on the White House lawn but has since been rewritten.
