Post Apocalyptic Zorro?
So I read online that they are casting Gael Garcia Bernal to play Zorro in the next reboot. My first thought was who cares about a Zorro movie? Zorro has always been kind of a dumb character in my book. Like the Three Musketeers, he suffers from the fact that he looks like a ponce in his outfit and is fighting with a sword when any idiot could just shoot him with a black powder gun.
Then I read that they are considering making the new Zorro a futuristic post apocalyptic story and my second thought was how dumb. Why mess with something that has worked for decades? Does there really need to be a re-imagining of Zorro?
But then I combined those two thoughts and came up with my final thought on the matter, how freaking cool could this movie actually be? I love post apocalyptic anything and this could possibly take care of a lot of the costume and sword issues that have plagued the story from the start. I think this could possibly be one of the best Zorro movies ever.
This children are the future image was the closest I could find for a post apocalyptic image. It comes from the funny t shirts Dave carries.
Interesting trivia: the Mask of Zorro was the movie Bruce Wayne was watching with his parents right before they got killed. I suppose I could have pulled a Batman image pretty easily. Oh well.
