Which one are you asking about?Is this still happening?
Speaking of "Arkham games only Zorroer, you know...with Tornado, swords and all that crap."I wished for a Mask of Zorro game on Playstation but that never happened
Someone should make a Zorro game today. Something like the Arkham games only Zorroer, you know...with Tornado, swords and all that crap. I would absolutely buy one of those new consoles (I don't know what they're called these days...PS4? XBOX Ultra? I'm getting old) just for that game alone.
The world needs more Zorro.
Which one are you asking about?
This thread has become about two separate films.
The original topic of this thread, - the so called Year One reboot by SONY based on the Allende novel, as far as I know has moved to Columbia Pictures, and this was the latest update- http://www.superherohype.com/news/294417-playwright-chris-boal-to-rewrite-zorro-reboot
The Future-"Post-Apocalyptic" Zorro which at one point had García Bernal attached was being produced by FOX, has been abandoned by them, and apparently picked up by - Lantica Media and Sobini Films - http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/zorro-get-post-apocalyptic-reboot-815937
Both seem to be meandering into production hell, or straight to DVD territory.

Man I remember creating these and putting them out there as wishful thinking, during the Arkham City buzz as faux hype, hoping it would somehow happen.
Especially with the scene of him going to the theater.
Then the game came out, and there was actually a scene with Batman and a sword.
They could have so made this an actual skin for when he was in the theater, flashing back to his childhood hero.
Then with the Catwoman elements whip, bolas, most everything, plus the Sword could totally be repurposed to a Zorro skin:
Batman to Zorro combat/gadget analogues:
-Straight Combat (blocks & attacks) = Swashbuckling moves (combine Sword and main-gauche Dagger combat.)
- Sword
-"Cape Stun" = Same
-Batclaw = Extending Bullwhip (see Catwoman) [also used in combat mode]
-Batarang = Daggers (single throw no return)
- Bolos (see Catwoman) = same throw-knockout & return [also used in combat]
-"Predator mode" = Same Fox-like cunning & stealth, (hey he did it first)
-Explosive gel = Glycerin & timed fuse gunpowder
- Exploding Batarangs = Black-powder filled wraparound Bolos.
- Smoke-Bombs = Same leather wrapped glass pellets.
- Grapnel GunLine Launcher Whip & for distance Small spring-loaded, exploding flintlock Crossbow & line (thats right he has one)
-Ziplining = Uses Sword handle to zip along line.
-"Detective Vision" = Fox vision - Amulet (given to him by White Owl, (Native American Grandmother) Amulet gives supernatural vision qualities allows him to read threats and people's anima.
- Dual pistolas.
- Batmobile = of course Tornado (also loaded with lasso, extra swords, machete, bow and arrow and flintlock rifle)
- Landscape = El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles
To bad this would make a killer game. Zorro prod. Inc. doesn't have the vision to produce something on par with the Arkham games.
Jonas Cuaron, the son of filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron who made his directorial debut with immigration thriller Desierto, has signed on to direct Z, a futuristic take on the Zorro tale.
Lantica Media and Sobini Films are behind the movie.
Lantica, the media company led by CEO Antonio Gennari that works in production and financing as well as studio space, will finance the movie with a plan to begin principal photography summer 2016 in Pinewood Dominican Republic Studios.
Veteran producer and Sobini CEO Mark Amin, whose credits include Good Killand Frida, will produce the film.
Z is a reworking the long-gestating Zorro Reborn, 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. Z is set in the near future but keeps the idea of a masked and caped stranger taking on tyrants.
Cuaron co-wrote Gravity with Alfonso Cuaron. He co-wrote and directed Desierto, which stars Gael Garcia Bernal and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The movie won the International Critics Award at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival and is slated for release this spring by STX.
Well I kinda enjoyed Zorro: Generation Z (basically it was Zorro Beyond), so we'll see.
This movie needs Pedro Pascal.
(and to drop the futuristic angle.)
Well it's not too futuristic considering it's in a post - apocalyptic near future. It'll be like Fall Out or Mad Max with Zorro, which would have past and a bit of futuristic elements.
I also prefer classic Zorro but a post apocalyptic does have some interesting potential. Horses could still be a transportation than Zorro having a hover bike.
