GAEL GARCIA BERNAL
WILL BE FUTURISTIC ZORRO!
In these seven or so years that Dezzy has been spying for you, methinks we've mentioned ZORRO projects at least a dozen of times and they never really came to fruition, but now it has been revealed that Jonas Cuaron, who is directing a ZORRO movie titled Z (originally known as ZORRO REBORN), has offered the lead role to Gael Garcia Bernal! Although details on the script are very sparse right now, it has been rumoured before that it will be a futuristic take on the famous legend set in the near future. Bernal has already worked with director Jonas Cuaron on DESIERTO drama which is out in cinemas later this year.
'QUEEN OF KATWE' TRAILER
WITH LUPITA NYONG'O!
The only trailer I have for you today is for Disney's and Mira Nair's true story drama QUEEN OF KATWE starring Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o! Based on a book by Tim Crothers, it brings the real life story 
of a poor young girl from Uganda who trains to become a world chess champion. It is out this September!

I enjoy a nice uplifting movie every now and again and "Queen of Katwe" sounds like it will be just that!
ReplyDeleteHope you will like it when it hits the cinemas
DeleteWhat an inspiring story. I liked the trailer. Would have loved it if Oprah wasn't in it though. Can't stand that woman at all.
ReplyDeleteshe's in it? Hadn't even noticed her ;) I think I have a gadget for deleting her as soon as my subconsciousness smells her :)
DeleteYeah, it looked like she might have been one of the teachers or chess judges. It was just a quick flash, but enough to catch a glimpse. I wish I could block her out. Used to watch her show when I was little, but she's really shown her true colors these past few years. Judgemental, racist bi-atch it what she is!
Deleteshe and that biatch Queen Bee are such vile racists, they disgust me... not to mention that vile villain Obama
DeleteAmen! Race relations have gotten so out of hand since he's been president. Sad that it should have unified us more, but our country really took a huge step backwards once he got elected :(
Deletehe just glorified Queen Bee(tch) as some empowering figure or something, I puked big time, it is so vile....
DeleteThe trailer brought tears to my eyes. Dreams are so important and moving forward to achieving them even more so. Wishing Gael all the best.
ReplyDeleteToo bad such stories almost never happen in real life :(
DeleteI'd like to see Queen of Katwe. Bernal sure is handsome.
ReplyDeletethat is his very young photo :)
DeleteA futuristic Zorro? Maybe something like they did with "The Lone Ranger" with Depp? We'll see what it gives!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
ah, I almost forgot that flop of a movie, Peter :)
DeleteSo some executive said, "You know what? We need a futuristic Zorro! Isn't that incredibly original? He would be like a new superhero!"
ReplyDelete'tis Z, not Zorro, to be precise :)
DeleteWhy am I not surprised there's going to be a remake (turn everything upside down) of Zorro? Guess he'll be riding space rockets instead of horses and using lasers instead of swords. Oh, my!
ReplyDeletethat would be cool
DeleteWell he's antonio Banderas but we can give him a shot I guess...
ReplyDeleteThere's supposed a be a "no" bw he's and antonio.
Deletea new Antonio movie has been announced too today, but it was something blah :)
DeleteI'm super stoked about the new Zorro. I loved the other Zorro movies in the 90's. Can't wait to see if they can top them!
ReplyDeleteshould be super fun if they don't make it too dark and weird
DeleteI am trying to imagine how Gael Garcia Bernal would be like as a futuristic Zorro. Queen Katwe definitely looks like a must see movie.
ReplyDeleteglad you think so!
