Variety reports that Peruvian director Ricardo de Montreuil is in talks with 20th Century Fox to helm Zorro Reborn; a futuristic take on the classic character which re-imagines him as a masked vigilante who faces off against an evil tyrant and his gang of mercenaries in a mission of revenge. Produced by Mark Amin, Cami Winikoff and David Higgins for Sobini Films, the script was written by Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy. There is no deal currently in place for De Montreuil, although he is expected to direct a screen test with star Gael Garcia Bernal. Below is the director's short film, The Raven.

so will he still carry a sword? cause i cant imagine Zorro not cutting the Z in shirts, wood or the other numerous things he carved the letter on.

Actually, post apocalyptic Zorro could be cool. Riding a horse will definitely be plausible. The vision I have in my head anyways, it could work.

If they do a Zorro movie, continue from the last one... Have his son take the mantle... Have his son kick tyrant ass... But if they do a futuristic Zorro, let it be a descendent of Antonio's character... But then again, I don't wanna see a futuristic Zorro...

So a Mexican Batman movie then yes?

What made Zorro unique was his setting, I don't see how a masked Swordsman will do in this day and age.
