Now he has a television network all his own, El Rey, and he’s revisiting one of his earliest films to turn it into a headlining original series. The film: “From Dusk Till Dawn”, a 1996 horror-crime hybrid that starred George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino (who also wrote the screenplay).

Who could replace George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Cheech Marin, Salma Hayek and John Hawkes? Some of the greatest and most popular talents of the turn of this century all united in 1996 for the kidnapping/vampire siege saga From Dusk Till Dawn, and now – nearly 20 years later – their beloved characters are returning to the small screen via director Robert Rodriguez and a cast of fresh, young faces. Zane Holtz (“Richie Gecko”), D.J. Cotrona (“Seth Gecko”), Wilmer Valderrama (“Carlos Madrigal”), Eiza Gonzalez (“Satanic Pandemonium”) and Lane Garrison (“Pete”) talk about “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series”, the legacy of the original movie, getting covered in Don Johnson DNA, living up to the iconic sexiness of Salma Hayek’s striptease, the mindraping artistry of Robert Rodriguez and the birth of the El Rey Network.
Check out the interview with the cast:
“From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” premieres on the El Rey Network on March 11, 2014.
