Gael Garcia Bernal (pictured above … if you look really hard) is set to topline 20th Century Fox’s Zorro: Reborn, an outside-the-box reboot that finds the Spanish swashbuckler turning vigilante in a post apocalyptic wasteland … well, at least he isn’t a vampire.

Zorro: Reborn is written by Glenn Gers, the scribe behind the surprisingly taut Anthony Hopkins/ Ryan Gosling crime thriller Fracture, and newcomers Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy, whose Dracula based script Harker is set up at Warner Bros.

Bernal’s genre creds include Michel Gondry’s fantasy-romancer The Science of Sleep and Fernando Meirelles’ outbreak thriller Blindness, opposite Julianne Moore. He is, however, best known for his work in dramas The Motorcycle Diaries, Y Tu Mama Tambien and Amores Perros.
