Sometimes an Oscar nomination (or more importantly a win) bumps you into a higher echelon, with more prestige style scripts crossing your desk and doors opening where they were closed.

Variety reports that Robert Rodriguez continues to cast up "Machete Kills" adding Bichir to a cast that now includes Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez and Mel Gibson with a bunch of more people who will probably be returing from "Machete."

No word yet on Bichir's role, but we presume we'll find out more as the picture gears up to get in front of cameras soon.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
