What a cast.

Three more names have been added to the Austin-based production of the upcoming "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series." Adrianne Palicki ("Friday Night Lights," G.I. Joe: Retaliation), Jake Busey (Starship Troopers, Enemy of the State) and Lane Garrison (Bonnie & Clyde, Prison Break) are set to join D.J. Cotrona, Zane Holtz, Jesse Garcia, Don Johnson, Robert Patrick, Madison Davenport, Brandon Soo Hoo, Eiza González and Wilmer Valderrama.

Palicki will portray Vanessa Styles, a woman from Seth Gecko's past. Lane Garrison will play Pete, the clerk at Benny's World of Liquor which the Gecko brothers take over in the pilot; and Jake Busey stars as Professor Aiden Tanner, an eccentric intellectual obsessed with the Mesoamerican mythology behind the vampires.

Based on Rodriguez's hit film, "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series" is a supernatural crime saga centered around bank robber, Seth Gecko (Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard "Richie" Gecko (Holtz), who are wanted by the FBI and Texas Rangers Earl McGraw (Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Garcia) after a bank heist left several people dead. While on the run to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former minister Jacob Fuller (Patrick) and his family, whom they take hostage. Using the family RV to cross the border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is populated by vampires. They are forced to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone of the film, adds new characters and backstories and expands the Mesoamerican mythology behind the creatures inside the club.

Well... it's not worse than

But man, how are they gonna stretch this out into a series? Even the plot description doesn't feel like it'd fit a series.

Jake Busey? Not Gary?

Hm. But then again, the T1000 is in this. And Mesoamerican mythology is always interesting.

Edit: Then again, Teen Wolf is based on the Michael J Fox movie, and it actually did become a deeper, superior, fantastic product. Maybe there's hope for this.

This decision does not demote my penis when I see her.

 

[Savitar]

Those three head shots do not serve them well, look rather douchey....or as if they came from Jersey Shore.

 

[Replicant]

Don't these jokers realize that the title of the film is "From Dusk Til Dawn"? Aka the whole event takes place in a relatively quick few hours. How are they going to stretch it out to make TV series? Even if they do it hourly like "24", the story won't make it past 1 season.

Could be good, I'm more curious about the "Latin James Bond" the network is developing.

[anaron]

She deserves a great career. Fuck that Wonder Woman pilot.

 

[PhantomZone]

She is super hot, would watch her in anything

 

[Tzeentch]

They need to somehow lure Salma Hayek back in. The series would then be redeemed.

I'm not an expert, but are there actually vampires in Mesoamerican mythology? (Samson vs the Vampire Women aside...)

That was actually a semi-serious 1950s horror movie starring Michael Landon. The Michael J Fox remake was a comedy, but the original version was kinda dark
