Danny Trejo talks Machete and Predators, Kristina Klebe talks ZONE OF THE DEAD
The Punch Drunk Critics invaded Horrorfind this weekend, and in between the ghouls, ghosts, and demons we managed to snag a few minutes with cult icon, Danny Trejo. Not only was he extremely nice, a stark contrast to a lot of the harder edged roles he's played over the years in films like From Dusk Til Dawn and Desperado, but he also gave us some sweet info on Machete, Sin City 2, and Robert Rodriguez's Predators! We also managed to get a few minutes with Kristina Klebe, who most will recognize from Rob Zombie's Halloween a couple of years ago. She's got some projects coming down the pipe that sound hella interesing as well, so check it out and let us know what you think!

Tribeca Video Interview: Here And There's Director And Star

Tribeca Video Interview: Here And There's Director And Star When we talk about green card marriages in this country, we're usually thinking about some kind of impoverished Mexican or Eastern European immigrant, desperate to get to this country and marry an American to live off the fat of our land. But what about the other way around? What if a New Yorker-- a sarcastic, dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker-- went to Serbia to marry another man's girlfriend and bring her back to the States?

Serbian actress Branka Katic will appear in an episode of HBO’s latest TV show by the name of Bored to Death, which will see its premiere on 20 September.
Star roles have been given to Jason Schwartzman, who owes his celebrity status predominantly to the genre of romantic comedies, as well as Ted Danson, best known for his appearance in the Cheers TV show.
The main character of Bored to Death is a mediocre, alcohol- and drugs-prone writer Jonathan Ames, who, after his girlfriend leaves him, places a newspaper ad claiming he is a private investigator. Branka Katic appears in the fifth episode entitled The Case of the Lonely White Dove. Ames is contacted by a Russian parolee, madly in love with a “Lonely white dove” and who hires the self-proclaimed detective in order to locate her.
Elsewhere, Branka Katic also performs in Public Enemies, an action-packed crime movie which has recently had its Belgrade premiere, starring Johnny Depp in the role of John Dillinger.
