Joe Begos & WTFilms Team On ‘They Call Him Zorro’ Revisiting Iconic Hero With A Violent & Brutal Twist

EXCLUSIVE: Production and sales outfit WTFilms is joining forces with Joe Begos, known for cult horror hits such as Bliss and Christmas Bloody Christmas, on They Call Him Zorro.

The partners say the picture will draw on the original writings of Johnston McCulley, who first introduced Zorro in his 1919 novel The Curse of Capistrano, but through a horror lens.

“This is not your parents’ Zorro. In our iteration, the masked folk hero has more to do with dark and violent characters such as The Punisher or The Crow,” said WTFilms co-head and producer Gregory Chambet.
