From Dusk Till Dawn - 1991 teaser

A teaser shot in 1991 by Robert Kurtzman, featuring Day of the Dead's Joe Pilato as Seth Gecko.

Kurtzman: "In 1988 I wrote a 24 page treatment about a family taken hostage by 2 criminals on the run who seek refuge in a down and dirty, vampire infested biker bar south of the Mexican border. Co- Producer John Esposito and I would later hire then unknown screenwriter Quentin Tarantino to write the screenplay for "From Dusk till Dawn".

I came up with the Dusk as a directing vehicle for myself. And in the late summer of 1991 at the tail end of shooting Sam Raimi's "Army of Darkness" I borrowed a dolly and some track from production (with Rob Tapert's permission) and pulled in a favor from Panavision for a camera and shot a promo short for the film. Joe (Day of the Dead) Pilato plays Seth Gecko.

I had no money and I built the sets at KNB using whatever I could find. I had to put up the set on Friday, shoot on Sat. and have everything cleaned up on Sunday so not to disrupt KNB's work on Monday. The effects are crude as it was all posted on video and at the time CGI was a ways off.

Enjoy!" http://www.p13entertainment.com/dd_windows.htm

@RoughStarFilms Yeah, the first time I saw the flick I had no idea that there were vampires until it actually started happening.

Great.

He resembles a young Roger Moore.

He would've been great as Seth Gecko, Clooney played the role just as good as Joe played Rhodes though.

QT basically stretched out and changed the 1st and 2ns act, everything up untill the Bar is QT from when the Vamps attack it's basically the original screenplay, I think it's what make FDTD such a unique film.
