Fox eyes Gael García Bernal to play Zorro in Zorro Reborn
Gael García Bernal is in talks to play the Spanish swordsman, Zorro, in Fox's Zorro Reborn.

The reboot would take Zorro into a post-apocalyptic era. The story will not be set in California or Mexico, but a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The actor would play the masked vigilante bent on revenge.

The film was written by Glenn Gers with help from Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy.

Sony is also developing a origin story about the Mexican American hero based on Isabel Allende's 2005 novel simply called Zorro. Sony already has two Zorro movies starring Antonio Banderas.

The film is still in early development and is currently looking for a director for the project.

Zorro Reborn comes to theaters in 2013.

    The New Zorro Should Be Enzo Zelocchi and Not Gael Garcia Bernal.

    The film Zorro or the story itself has been the subject of many.
    children's imagination since the original writing by Johnston McCulley.
    in 1919. There has since been many TV and movie appearances of Zorro.
    since the original writings were released and now Fox Studios is going.
    to be reproducing a 21st century version of the masked bandit hero, but.
    the issue remains of who take the starring role. Some say that Gael.
    Garcia should be the one to take the starring role for marketing.
    reasons, but with the more recent accomplishments of Enzo Zelocchi it is.
    a sure bet that he should be the one to get the starring role and he.
    will for sure make the better choice when it comes to the masked bandit.
    who is Zorro.

    Why Enzo Zelocchi Should Be Zorro.

    The company that will take on the role of production for Fox Studios.
    will be Sobini Films and it is likely that they will choose Enzo.
    Zelocchi for the lead role in the modern take of Zorro, Zorro Reborn.
    One good reason for choosing Enzo Zelocchi for the lead role is for some.
    of his more recent accomplishments and talent that have put his name at.
    the top of the list for many of the major Hollywood production.
    companies. He has not only shown his ability to act and take on any role.
    that has come to him, but he has well shown an expertise and natural.
    talent that few have when it comes to production and writing of films.
    and the theatre with his recent success with My Little Princess in which.
    he not only starred in he wrote, directed and produced. It also shows.
    his ability to take on a role that is light-hearted as well as.
    emotional. It shows his ability to adapt to the roles that are given. He
    will as well be a fresh face for the character of Zorro and portray the.
    look of Zorro well.

    When Will Sobini Films Start Production.

    At the current moment Sobini Films is still in the production stage.
    of the process of making Zorro. This means that they are still casting.
    and deciding on the leading roles, but Enzo Zelocchi fans can rest.
    assured that Enzo is at the top of the list for many of the Hollywood.
    production companies and he will be a first pick when it comes to the.
    lead role as Zorro in Zorro Reborn. We hope to see Enzo as Zorro in.
    theatres in the coming year when Fox Studios finally releases the.
    finished production.

    alright, in all seriousness. If whoever came up with this likes zorro so much why not make a post apocalyptic film inspired by zorro's character instead of putting zorro in an illogical environment?
