Los Angeles, May 11 (PTI) Gael Garcia Bernal and filmmaker Jonas Cuaron are coming together for the reboot of Zorro in a film entitled "Z".
Bernal has signed up for a long-brewing reboot of the classic literary series that will put Zorro in a futuristic setting, Deadline reported.
Bernal, 37, will partner with "Gravity" co-writer Cuaron and producer Mark Amin on this updated incarnation of pulp writer Johnston McCulley's swashbuckling anti-hero.
"Zorro is a hero who is charming, witty and clever. Gael possesses all those characteristic and he's able to deliver them with a modern spin to introduce the Zorro character to a new audience," Amin said.
Bernal is fresh off a Golden Globe for the hit Amazon series "Mozart in the Jungle".
Zorro has been played by such stars as Douglas Fairbanks, George Hamilton and Antonio Banderas over the decades.
