In a report from Variety, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) was not thrilled that an $18 million budgeted movie was shooting in Los Angeles with a non-union crew. From Dusk Till Dawn was another non-union production for Rodriguez, but that almost led to some problems. Most of Rodriguez’s early films were done with non-union crews, while Tarantino is not a member of the Writer’s Guild of America (he is a member of the Director’s Guild, however). Rodriguez and Tarantino have a long history with Hollywood unions.

Williamson says that he has three rules when selecting a movie, needing at least two out of three to be in a movie: 1) he can’t be killed in the movie 2) he has to win all the fights and 3) he gets the girl at the end of the movie.

Hayek said at the time that it was one of the most challenging things that she has done as an actress. It was months of preparation for that one dance. I mean in my mind it had to have a meaning so that I could go into a trance. o have to put on a bikini and dance with a snake that’s 11 feet long and make it organic? I went to the extent that I created a relationship with this snake. So Hayek came up with a strategy to overcome her fear for the scene. Hayek said she told Tarantino that she couldn’t dance with a snake because of that, who, according to Hayek, said that Madonna would be up for it if she wasn’t. When asked to be in the film by Tarantino, he revealed that the dance scene would include an 11-foot snake, which would be a bit of a problem for Hayek considering her fear of snakes. Apparently for Salma Hayek, preparing for her role as Santanico Pandemonium required a bit of hypnosis. It is surprisingly an entertaining show to watch on Sunday's.(Image credit: Miramax) Salma Hayek’s Dance Was Done In A Trance Because Of Her Fear Of SnakesĪctors have different processes to get into their roles. If you get the El Rey channel, Netflix, or have internet to download, I definitely recommend keeping up with the series. If you've been keeping up with each episode so far, you've noticed little nods to the world of Rodriguez/Tarantino such as The Big Kahuna Burger, Earl Mcgraw's character played by Don Johnson in the series, Seth/Richies mannerisms.etc. All I have to say is by the end of the episode, you'll be wanting to see next weeks. The story is great and smart, incorporating Wilmer Valderammas character Carlos and Ranger Gonzales who is still hot on the Gecko Brothers trail. This scene is much different than the film though, it that the stakes feel way more dangerous and higher. A small synopsis is that The Gecko Brothers and Fuller Family are almost into Mexico, but they need to get past the border checkpoint. Episode 5 was the best episode I've seen yet. So far though, the story is building the same way it did in the film, in that the Gecko brothers are on the run after robbing a bank, join up with the Fuller Family by taking them hostage in there RV so that they can evade police and make there way for El Rey. I assume things will be somewhat different though from the film before the season is over in order to keep the story going since the series was recently renewed for another season after this one. What I like about the show is that it follows the original story religiously, but goes into way more detail than it did in the film. 5 episodes in the series and each one has been nostalgic of the film. The show has proved to be successful with his adapting the film to television. The difference though between the last couple films and this series, is that Robert Rodriguez(the guy who created/directed original film) is the helmer of this series rather than someone else. This is also because they attempted to do several other films afterwards that were all flops. I was very apprehensive about checking out the From Dusk Till Dawn the Series, because I really liked the original film and felt that the show wouldn't do justice.
