Overview
- Sony Pictures set Oscar winner Brian Helgeland to write a Django/Zorro film, multiple outlets reported Monday.
- The movie draws from the 2014 crossover comic co-written by Quentin Tarantino and Matt Wagner, with a new story rather than a straight adaptation.
- Quentin Tarantino will not direct the film, but he has given his blessing for the project to move forward at Sony.
- The project remains in early development with no director attached and no confirmed cast, including Jamie Foxx or Antonio Banderas.
- Deadline reports that rights issues which stalled earlier efforts, including a Jerrod Carmichael draft, have been resolved, clearing the way for this revival.
