NBC Zorro Reboot - Blu-ray Forum

Spirit Zero · 11-07-2019, 07:49 PM

Yeah, you knew something was coming didn't you.

Yup, they're gender-swapping Zorro.

Eh with a female lead it might work out, depending
what actress gets the part and if the pilot turns out as a hit.

Chedwiggen · 11-07-2019, 08:24 PM

I don't see this working even if it had a male lead.

scifisuperfan · 11-07-2019, 08:24 PM

It could be well done if they all think zorro is a man and turns out its a woman. A woman disguised with a mustache. I think its brilliant. Better than any other gender swap character.

But if they go for "Zorra" im out!!!

Michael24 · 11-07-2019, 08:25 PM

If they want a female Zorro, do a show based on Lady Rawhide.

When do we get the female versions of Hercules, Hamlet and Sherlock Holmes?

Chedwiggen · 11-07-2019, 08:29 PM

Does anyone really think there's an audience for a Zorro show set in modern day?

Mystic · 11-07-2019, 08:33 PM

Another sign of creative rot at work in the studios. LOL.

How about offering something new and original rather than simply doing a gender swap and calling it a reboot / re-imagining of an existing concept? Doesn't anybody in Hollywood have any creativity or imagination left instead of finding new ways to rehash old ideas??

Spirit Zero · 11-07-2019, 09:32 PM

Money on the table she will fight against white male American villains and KKK-esque gangs.

off2europe · 11-07-2019, 09:48 PM

If she's attractive and can perform, be great

There was Xena and Hamlet has been a woman more than once.

There was a Japanese Miss Sherlock last year.

I'd be more interested if it was a western as Zorro is supposed to be but I have no issue with the character being a woman. I welcome it - the more woman on screen the better. I prefer looking them than at men

I don't know when nerds stopped wanting to see women.

Malagant · 11-07-2019, 09:57 PM

Another reboot and gender-swapping Zorro.. *sigh*. I also agree with what is mentioned above about lack of creativity in Hollywood these days.

Well, some will assuredly enjoy it, feel it is a fresh take on the story. Myself I am instead eagerly awaiting 'The Mask of Zorro' on 4K BD hopefully some time soon.

Possibly when instead of bothering to create female heroes, like the likes of Buffy and Xena, they just started hijacking male ones instead, complete with blatant inyerface misandric agenda to boot.

That might just be it. At this point how anyone can hear of these things without a

is beyond me.

GrouchoFan · 11-08-2019, 01:29 AM

That reminds me, I need to dust off my Disney Treasures sets and give them a spin.

For Hercules we had Xena.

For Sherlock we had Lucy Liu Watson

For Hamlet... choose!!
