I had seen Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction and the lead characters of Seth and Richie Gecko, played by George Clooney and Tarantino himself, fit right into the world that had become so enticing and familiar from those films. No Interviews.” The movie starts out very much in the vein of other Tarantino scripted films of the time. I had not seen the trailer or even heard its tagline: “Vampires. I was lucky enough to go into my first viewing of From Dusk Till Dawn having no idea what it was about. It also had an unexpected twist halfway through-a Mexican strip bar populated by vampires. The script was filled with the style and dialogue that Tarantino was becoming known for. Rodriguez was blown away by what he read and immediately expressed interest in making it.
Kurtzman wrote the treatment in hopes of creating a film to showcase the work of the make-up effects company he created with Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger: KNB Effects Group. While Tarantino was writing Pulp Fiction and Rodriguez was writing Desperado (1995), Tarantino told Rodriguez about a script he had written a few years earlier based on a treatment by special effects artist Robert Kurtzman. The two had become immediate friends at the Toronto Film Festival during the tours of their debut films. Robert Rodriguez also made his directorial debut in 1992 with El Mariachi, a film that wowed critics and audiences worldwide. He had become as big of a movie star as the actors that appeared in his films and a darling of the independent film movement. After the one-two punch of Reservoir Dogs (1992) and Pulp Fiction (1994), it seemed that Quentin Tarantino could do no wrong.
