Get it NOW!!! The follow-up to ZORRO: The Daring Escapades.

The hero of Spanish California rides again in ZORRO's EXPLOITS.

17 new adventures featuring the Curse of Capistrano!

In the early 1800s, California was still under Spanish rule. Some of the military commanders plundered and won riches at the expense of the peace-loving settlers. Against these agents of injustice, the settlers were powerless, until one man arose whose courage stirred the hearts of Californians. He alone gave them the spirit to resist tyranny. That man was Zorro!

The original masked hero clashes swords with military tyrants, werewolves, outlaw gangs, vampires, and other assorted malcontents in seventeen original stories created especially for this volume.

Wilmer Valderrama to Star in Disney's Reimagined Zorro Series

 

Disney has officially announced that Wilmer Valderrama, star of "That 70s Show" and "NCIS" will star in a new reimagined Zorro series. Valderrama will play the dual role of Diego de la Vega and Zorro in this telenovela style Zorro. He will act as an executive producer along with Gary Marsh, the creative chief at Disney Branded Television, and John Gertz, President of Zorro Productions, Inc. 

Ayo Davis, President of Disney Branded Television, explains Disney's concept for the series: "We're reimagining this Disney classic as a compelling period piece, set in the Pueblo de Los Angeles, but told in a very modern telenovela style-- with richly drawn contemporary characters and relationships set against action, drama, suspense and humor of the original iconic Zorro." 

The series is currently in "Pre-Production." No other names are attached to this series at this time. No date for filming or release has been given. 

Guy Williams starred as Zorro in the original Disney series from 1957-60. He was and still is beloved by millions of fans worldwide. Williams is considered to be, by many, the greatest Zorro of all time.

Can Disney capture the greatness of the series that Disney made in the 1950s? Can Valderrama be even a shadow of the great Guy Williams' Zorro? IF, and that is a huge IF... IF, they can repeat the magic of that series with its outstanding storytelling, amazing characters, superb swashbuckling choreography,  and incredible acting they will have a hit that will make Zorro one of the most entertaining and watched characters on television once again.
