Diablo’s Mean Cast Means Business

March 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Diablo is the story of a family whose lives are torn apart after their son is kidnapped and ultimately killed by a ruthless cartel at the Mexican border. Desperate for revenge, the Alvarez family commissions an ex-mercenary, Diablo (Trejo); to make the drug lords pay.

Diablo, enlists the help of his old friends Max Archer (Madsen) and Tommy Mancini (Pogatsia) to hunt down and take out the cartel members one by one. While doing so they uncover the truth behind the murder.

Acosta penned the role of Diablo with Trejo in mind. He began the casting process with Pogatsia as Tommy Mancini, which proved fortuitous, as the actor was instrumental in making Acosta’s vision a reality. Pogatsia got Madsen the script, they reached out to Trejo, and things fell into place.

Trejo is as intimidating as they come with his threatening, muscled, heavily tattooed appearance, Acosta said. While Pogatsia exudes no-nonsense street smarts and Madsen’s unnerving, ear-cutting scene in Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs still sends chills down spines. The thought of the three of them coming for you would send anyone running.

Diablo is in pre-production and scheduled to begin shooting this summer.

Trejo is slated to star in Machete 2 and Madsen is teaming up with Pogatsia again in Pogatsia’s mafia satire, The Pizza Tapes.
