From Dusk Till Dawn Animated Series in the Works
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s From Dusk till Dawn. Recently, Rodriguez confirmed it’s going full-tilt 4K. And today he reveals there is also an animated series in the works.
Rodriguez tells SFX Magazine: “So I had a television network [El Rey] here. And I needed to create programming, so Quentin and I still control the rights to it. So I went, ‘Oh, wow, I’d love to expand the story of Santánico Pandemonium, and the whole Aztec vampire lore for my network. And then internationally it was just put out as a Netflix original, I think is probably how you saw it. But here it was an original series for my television network, an action television network called ‘El Rey,’ which is, you know, the place they’re trying to get to at the end of Dusk till Dawn so it fits perfectly. That was originally why we did it, so we did three seasons of that. And now we’re looking towards, we’re developing an animated Dusk till Dawn.“
Sounds like fun to me! We’ll let you know when we hear more.
