Machete to be Released September 3

Seems an official release date is set for the pulp Grindhouse spinoff Machete. September 3rd will mark the day this film his the big screen.

The Film Stage says:

Highly anticipated Robert Rodriguez flick Machete will hit theaters September 3rd, in time for the lucrative Labor Day Weekend. The spin-off of the Tarantino/Rodriguez flop Grindhouse looks to earn a little more gate with the stalled release date.

While other films have a year or more on the promotion circuit, I am surprised that this is being released so soon with so little promotion to it.

Perhaps they are hoping on the cult like following to spread the word, or that we will do the job for them, but not so much as a trailer or teaser for a film due out in a bit over 5 months.
