Zorro may soon look a little different than you remember, if a project in development at NBC comes to fruition.
Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk Till Dawn, Desperado) and Rebecca Rodriguez (Snowpiercer) are on a team putting forth a gender-swapped, modern take on the classic vigilante, our sister site Deadline reports.
Robert and Rebecca Rodriguez, who are siblings, will write the potential series and serve as two of its executive producers alongside Vergara and others. The drama will focus on Sola Dominguez, an underground artist who suits up as the legendary Zorro so she can fight for social justice. Her work puts her in the crosshairs of a bunch of criminal organizations.
Robert Rodriguez’s TV credits include El Rey’s series adaptation of his feature film From Dusk Till Dawn and Netflix’s Spy Kids: Mission Critical, an animated series based on the Spy Kids movies he directed. Rebecca Rodriguez is a writer/director whose directing work includes The Chi, Nancy Drew and Queen of the South.
Any chance women could go back to enhancing those things that make them female, instead of trying to outman men.

Always with the remakes and sequels.
Make a new hero if you want your own special hero. Stop with hijacking the old ones.
The show was background noise.
Golly, I just cannot wait to not go to see this box office biggie
Oh. My.
I love their minimalization. “Zorro may look different than you remember.”
These groundbreaking bold reimaginings never work and invariably just suck. Anf fail.
But they keep trying to go woke. How artsy fartsy.
How stupid.
Isabel Allende wrote this plot years ago.
Sofia Vergara,
Yes,
Not Guilty!
