Action man Steven Seagal's representatives have confirmed the actor is in talks to join the cast of Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse spin-off movie Machete.

The reps initially denied rumors Seagal was among the stars considered for roles in the Danny Trejo film, which featured as a spoof trailer in the "Grindhouse" double bill, but now they're backtracking, telling MovieHole.net that their client will be a part of the ultra-violent movie if "conditions" work out.

Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez and Jonah Hill are also said to be in line for roles in the film.
