I have to admit that as much as I'm a fan of the adventure movie genre, Zorro never appealed to me. Maybe it was because he seemed like such a derivative of Robin Hood.
In any case Zorro Reborn, a reboot of the franchise (Can you really call it a franchise if there were only two movies starring Antonio Banderas. Unless you count the old black and white films I guess) has been searching for a director for some time. According to "Variety" the studio may have found the perfect fit to helm the masked man's story. Fox is apparently interested in director Ricardo du Montreuil. For those not familiar with his work, Montreuil directed 2008's Mancora, which took home the Sundance Film Festival's award for World Drama Category.
The role of Zorro has already been cast. Gael Garcia Bernal (Y Tu Mama Tambien) will play the titular Mexican hero.
