Robert Rodriguez acknowledges he's the king of reworking the same premise, so why not TV, which is all about the series? His new El Rey network has started the engines for a From Dusk Till Dawn series for the network with local casting happening right now in Austin.The network is English language, but will aim to discover new Latino talent both in front of and behind the camera. Chief among the latter is Robert Orci's untitled action series, which has been dubbed a Latin James Bond. That series will likely film in Los Angeles with a 13-episode commitment beginning in March.
Rodriguez says the network, which is paired with Univision and Comcast, is aimed at
-->
"people who like irreverent, visceral action and comedy." Think Walking Dead and Breaking Bad with a lot more Latino faces.
It should be a boon to Austin, but will it mark a slowdown in Rodriguez's filmmaking? He says any future films will be somehow tied into El Rey.
El Rey will have a soft launch on television in December then go full force in 2014.
