File this one under "whaaaa?" - 20th Century Fox is apparently planning to once again reboot the 'Zorro' franchise with a film called 'Zorro Reborn'. In the film, we will be re-introduced to the swashbuckling hero who fights for justice in a historic California setting... except replace "justice" with "revenge" and "historic California" with "post-apocalyptic wasteland".

That's right, Fox has decided that their new Zorro franchise will take placed in the scarred and desolate plains of a destroyed future, with a new Zorro who - instead of being a wealthy crusader for justice - will be a lone vigilante bent on revenge. Because we've never ever seen a lone warrior wandering a post-apocalyptic wasteland before. Ever.

The film will be directed by pre-viz specialist Rpin Suwannath (who has worked on several high budget visual effects films such as 'X-Men' and 'Chronicles of Narnia'), and is being written by Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy, who's only other writing credit is the preliminary script for Warner Bros. Dracula reboot called 'Harker'.

 

No actors have been attached to the project, but the script is intended to be a starring vehicle for a much younger actor (first person to say Garrett Hedlund gets a Z to the chest). In a cinematic landscape where everyone and their grandmother is trying to make the next big "dark and gritty" franchise, one can only hope that this film never makes it off the written page.

@ Gift of the Magi- I'm just pointing out that if they wanted to go with this concept there's already and existing character that they wouldn't have to change the entire mythos of to do it. Chill.

Here is the story I would do

 

After the "Apocalypse" a "Gang" take over many parts of California you know what fuck look at it this way 

 

The Hughes brothers team up with Christopher Nolan and make a movie thats a cross between Double Dragons, the original Zorro with a little bit of The Warriors thrown in and a dash of The Crow and Book of Eli. But instead of two guys its one guy that decides to dress up a Zorro and take down the gang members. 

 

Not very original but it would be good

Actually AEGIS, if they wanted to do this, why don't..oh I don't know...MAKE AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER AND STORY?!?
Comment by AEGIS on April 28, 2011 at 10:26am
If they want to make this they should just do a live action adaptation The Phantom 2040.

If this film had the Hughes brothers attached it would actually work. They could also get Efren Ramirez to bulk up a little and play Zorro or Just cast Kuno Becker. 

 

And for any one who says Zorro is Boring they have obviously never seen Zorro the Gay Blade

Yeah, that sounds like a great idea (notice the sarcasm)
