Oh yeah, the movie where they run with their bows like assault rifles. It was like A Knight's Tale but played completely straight.The first 10 minutes of this movie are so weird. It 's like Black Hawk Down but 500 years ago lol. It make no sense.
Lol oh wow this is actually the first thing I think of when I see something about Zorro.
...a hacker? So then all the action scenes will be fake computer UIs, brow sweat, and fast finger typing?
Does he still somehow leave a big Z behind after he hacks someone?
Shut it down, you can take the rest of the day off
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.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...
Wow, I had no idea about that script before. Why even call him Batman at that point?Check out Darren Aronofsky's script for Batman Year One for another example of this.
Because ZORRO, I RECOGNIZE THAT NAME
NO
NO
NO
FUCK THIS
Sorry, but Zorro is a big part of my childhood being one of the few Latino heroes I grew up with and FUCKING HELL THIS SOUNDS SO DUMB
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
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.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...
Nothing inherently bad about it either?
Exactly. That's why we evaluate changes individually.
Yup. But the actual action will just be shaky ass chase scenes....a hacker? So then all the action scenes will be fake computer UIs, brow sweat, and fast finger typing?
Immediately what I thought of.
Yeah, not sure if there's an appetite for a classic Zorro in 2022This is actually a kind of fascinating way to take advantage of public domain

Maybe he should be given a chance... this is the beauty of Public Domain.
?Whoever greenlights this shit--come on.
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
