Machet star Danny Trejo is in negotiations to star in the indie biker thriller Tarantula.  The story centers on a woman played by Erin Cummings who breaks away from a tight-knit biker gang to start a new life but finds that escape is not so easy. Trejo plays the self-styled leader of the gang looking for the woman as well as revenge for his brother’s death.

Oley Sassone, who directed the Roger Corman-produced version of The Fantastic Four will direct the project which is start production in late November in Detroit.

John Kersey, construction coordinator on shows such as “CSI: Miami” and “Providence,” wrote the script and is producing with his wife Jennifer through their Two of a Kind Productions.  With a low budget of around $2.5 million, Kersey will be calling in favors from his below-the-line pals in fields such as editing and sound design.
