Hmm Zorro? Post-apocalyptic Zorro!

What do you do with a brand and a franchise what has been done more of than any over brand of franchise and has been around since the 1920s? You send him into the future! The post-apocalyptic future!!!

Yes they have redone and rehashed the Mexican vigilante in black so many times MovieCake as lost count (although the first person who can tell us wins a free cupcake).

This time expect less Antonio Bandares swash buckling and whip slapping and more electronic laser-beams and abandoned robots being found in derelict graveyards found the a ‘Z’ embodied on them.

Or maybe it’ll be ‘ZoPAF’ as in Zorro of the Post-Apocalyptic Future, just to avoid confusion. I for one was never really a fan of Zorro. It was a vigilante who didn’t seem to have the charm it took for a lower-middle class white boy like my-self to really adhere to his seemingly rough and gallivant charms.

However the premise looks good. And for one, can’t get enough of post-apocalyptic films regardless of the cringingly-bad factor which they may possess.

Stay tuned for more on the ZED.
