Zorro Heading To The Future In ‘Zorro Reborn’

Only six years later, that time has come.
The duo behind the screenplay are Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy, the same men responsible for Warner Bros.’ Dracula retelling Harker. Directing the film is Rpin Suwannath, who has previously served as a previsualization specialist on films like The Matrix, Serenity, The Chronicles of Narnia series, Bryan Singer’s X-Men films (including First Class). We often see visual effects artists (unsuccessfully) make the transition to directing, but a previsualization specialist? Quite the upgrade. I’ll be curious to see how he fares.
As for the concept behind the film, it sounds so ridiculous that it may have whipped past “awful” and crossed straight into “awesome” territory. What do you guys think? Are you on board, or does this mark yet another sad attempt by Hollywood to modernize past properties in a bid for barely relevant brand recognition?
