‘Zorro’ Reboot Movie is Now Casting Lead Roles

Date:

‘Zorro’ reboot movie is coming soon.

According to reports, a new ‘Zorro’ movie is in development in Hollywood.

A new deal between Lantica Media and Sobini Films have revived the ‘Zorro’ reboot movie.

Filming is expected to start filming March 2016 in Pinewood Dominican Republic Studios. The movie will be produced by Sobini CEO Mark Amin (Good Kill, Frida).

According to THR, Zorro Reborn is a post-apocalyptic take on the myth of Zorro, the pulp hero created in 1919. The traditional stories cast Zorro as a hero of peasants and farmers who fought against corrupt and brutal officials of Spanish-held California. Reborn is set in the near future but keeps the idea of a masked and caped stranger taking on tyrants.

Producers are currently casting actors and interviewing directors to make this movie happen.

Zorro is the secret identity of Don Diego de la Vega, a fictional character created in 1919 by New York–based pulp writer Johnston McCulley. He is a Californio nobleman of Spaniard and Native Californian descent, living in Los Angeles during the era of Spanish rule. The character has been featured in numerous books, films, television series, and other media.

The character has undergone changes through the years, but the typical image of him is a dashing black-clad masked outlaw who defends the commoners and indigenous peoples of the land against tyrannical officials and other villains. Not only is he too cunning and foxlike for the bumbling authorities to catch, but he also delights in publicly humiliating them.

The last Zorro movie appeared 10 years ago and featured Antonio Banderas. The film did reasonably well at the box office, grossing $142 million internationally.
