This just in- sounds like Robert Rodriguez has his next project lined up, and we are THRILLED to see what comes of it. According to a new report, Rodriguez, Sofia Vergara, and Rebecca Rodriguez (sister to Robert) are looking to bring a female-led adaptation of “Zorro” to NBC!

What a great idea!

This version of “Zorro,” written by brother and sister team of Robert and Rebecca Rodriguez, will center on Sola Dominguez, an underground artist who fights for social injustice as contemporary version of the mythical Zorro. Her life is threatened by several criminal organizations after she exposes them.

Rebecca will direct.

Robert Rodriguez and Rebecca Rodriguez executive produce with Silverman, Rodney Ferrell, Greg Lipstone and Jay Weisleder for Propagate, Vergara and Luis Balaguer for LatinWe, Geoff Clark, Eric Bromberg and John Gertz.

No word on casting yet, but we’re certainly interested in seeing who will don the cape and mask of the swordmaster!

Mary Anne Butler

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
