Based on the pulp stories from Johnston McCulley, Zorro became a heavily popular fictional hero, but it wasn’t until 1998’s The Mask of Zorro that he got the proper silver screen treatment.
Now the material will take a quite drastic turn. According to The Los Angeles Times, a new film from Fox titled Zorro Reborn will take the hero into a post-apocalyptic future. Also, he’ll be a vengeance-seeking vigilante this time around.
This sounds pretty terrible. You might as well not even call this Zorro Reborn, but I’m sure the trademark “Z” will appear at some point – most likely near the end – so the studio can point and say, “Look! It *is* a Zorro film!” Spare me.
