Zorro 2.0 Turns The Swashbuckling Vigilante Into A Hacker
- Thread starter mbpm
- Start date
Oh yeah, the movie where they run with their bows like assault rifles. It was like A Knight's Tale but played completely straight.
Still better than the Russel Crowe one.
Reading the title of this thread made me think we were back in the 90s. This concept sounds awful. If they hire me, I will make a better idea in 24 hours.
I feel like this shouldn't even be called Zorro at this point.
Lol oh wow this is actually the first thing I think of when I see something about Zorro.
I just love how Hollywood seems to think young people don't like medieval/pre-industrial revolution period films despite Lord of the Rings being a part of everyone's childhood.
Oh and Game of Fucking Thrones being a thing...

I'm already looking forward to the post credits scene where he meets Popeye.

I just got a fax from the Quibi people.
They are interested.
Veeeery interested.
Yeah, but those have dragons and other fantastical elements. They're not The Last Duel where it's Medieval setting is dry and serious. Young people are growing up on Critical Role and other hard fantasy based medieval stuff.
Wow, I had no idea about that script before. Why even call him Batman at that point?
This is actually a kind of fascinating way to take advantage of public domain
I can envision the story being that Zorro was either a pulp novel/movie character, or even a real historical hero, that this young protagonist grew up with, maybe it was something his Dad grew up with too and he passed it down to his son, and now that he's in a very different world than the one Zorro lived in he finds himself in a position to do some modern age heroics and adopts the moniker as a sort of spiritual dream fulfillment kind of thing.
Much more interesting that just hey it's another Zorro movie

ALL OF THIS.
Been waiting a little over 20 years for a new Zorro movie (Legend of Zorro doesn't count), and THIS is the best they can come up with?!
Heaven forbid we fucking get more Latino action heroes. Its not like we're grossly underrepresented there or anything...
Who is they Alex Rivera is an indie filmmaker with a deep interest in immigration and border politics and saw an opportunity to maybe explore that with a recognizable IP that will get some more eyes on the issues.
Maybe he should be given a chance... this is the beauty of Public Domain.
Alex Rivera - Wikipedia
This is the artist behind the project
I think his idea is interesting and it's the beauty of Public Domain that he gets to explore it through something like Zorro.
Unless it's because I said it sounds more interesting than another era accurate book accurate Zorro movie?

Bruce Wayne's parents leave the theater that was playing Zorro 2.0, only to get shot in the alley down the street.

Guess it'll be another 20+ years before we get a real Zorro film.
Immediately what I thought of.
Let's try again!
You go from Hopkins/Banderas to whatever the fuck this is going to be 😑😑😑
I'll just say it's so telling that no one has bothered to look into the artist whatsoever before jumping to comparisons to cash in major Hollywood films.
Yeah, not sure if there's an appetite for a classic Zorro in 2022
After he hacks you he leaves a gif of a big Z on your browser
HAHAHA
They is usually referring to whoever greenlights this shit--or maybe it's just me who does that.
As for Alex Rivera himself, that's an interesting tidbit, thanks for sharing, but if this project ever gets off the ground, I doubt anything meaningful he wants to say, makes it into a final cut.
I'll eat crow if I'm wrong though
?
He's writing and directing it.... and it's an indy film.
We have nothing to go on but his words not anyone else's
What's funny is that hacking/cyber security "work" is incredibly boring unless you are in the industry (and even then :P). Converting an action movie like Zorro into "hacking" movie is just dumb.
Although I have to say that going with Z0rr0 for hacker's nick is just amazing!
