The Zorro character first appeared in author Johnston McCulley's 1919 novella "The Curse of Capistrano", Allende's work is an origin tale and prequel to the events of that story, and contains numerous references to other famous Zorro works including1998's "The Mask of Zorro".
Fencer-turned-screenwriter Chris Boal, brother of Mark Boal ("Zero Dark Thirty," "The Hurt Locker") is set to rewrite a draft previously penned by Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia.
Laurie MacDonald and Walter Parkes are set to produce the film which aims to use a "Batman Begins"-like approach to the character with a new backstory, gritty realism and emotional elements.
The project is not to be confused with Fox 's rival sci-fi take "Zorro Reborn" which sees the character in an apocalyptic wasteland.
