In this vein, he and his children just watched From Dusk Till Dawn for the first-time together-and not the TV series either. Thus his trip was one practically across the street when he begins to reflect on the making Red 11, a new thriller intrinsically linked to his first film El Mariachi, plus those early days that’ve become something akin to filmmaking legend.
