Zorro Reborn is back in pre-production action with new studio
It wasn’t all that long ago that the world seemed to have its pick of Zorro-related reboots, with the race to find the right project rivaling only that of churning out a proper Frankenstein film or TV series. Some people, like USA Network execs, wanted a modern Zorro who protected the people of a little hamlet known as Los Angeles. Fox opted for a whole new setting for the masked vigilante, while sticking to his ethnic roots: Its Zorro Reborn film would flash forward from the early 20th century to a post-apocalyptic world that is neither California nor Mexico. It would also star Gael García Bernal, because Zorro should at the very least always be Mexican.
