Robert Rodriguez’s Mexploitation flick, Machete, which features Lindsay Lohan as a submachine gun-toting nun, along with Hollywood ex-riffraff Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Steven Seagal, is set to hit theaters this Friday.
The premiere of the movie took place last Wednesday, a day after Lindsay’s release from rehab. Linds was a no-show at the event, ostensibly because she wanted to focus on staying sober and didn’t feel like attending something so “splashy” was the best way for her to mark her first night out of rehab.

Without Lindsay’s media circus of sobriety (or lack thereof) to sully the scene at the premiere, the Machete cast went out of their way to rave about her mad acting skills:
“She was awesome,” Machete director Robert Rodriguez told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “She’s so great in the movie. She has a great character and a great twist. … It will really surprise people.”
And although he was bummed Lindsay didn’t attend the premiere, Robert told us he wouldn’t be sending Lindsay a screener of the movie to watch at home.
“I want her to see it with an audience,” he told us. “The people are really going to like it.” . . . .

But now, reports US Weekly, skipping the premiere may not have been Lindsay’s idea after all:
