Oh, this is wonderful news! The first movie was such fun, and this one looks promising as well. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are easily two of the most beautiful people in existence. I mean, seriously, what woman *didn't* want to be her in the tango scene?
The ones who wanted to be him, of course. (Not to mention, those of us who couldn't decide. I guess I'll just have to think about it a little longer...)
Ahhh, thank you. My favorite line in Zorro, The Gay Blade.
I'm champing at the bit for it. I love the first one, and thought they did a very good torch-passing job, especially considering it was technically the first film in the franchise.... ;)
Thanks for reminding me of a movie that I need to have in my swashbucklers collection. Probably one of the best of the genre from the last 10 years or so. (I do know that there are very few of the genre in the last 10 years, but hey)
I do have to brag about the Errol Flynn box set that I got a couple weeks ago. HIGHEST recommendation since it contains two of the greatest swashbuckler films of all time, The Sea Hawk and of course the incomparable Captain Blood.

Plus, with Anthony Hopkins AND Antonio Banderas, it was easy to get my female friends to go.

Date: 2005-05-04 02:29 pm (UTC)Not sure how I feel about a sequel. The idea of anybody but Diego de La Vega running around in the mask, torch-passing or no, seems a bit off.
That being said...mmm, this could be fun.

Any kid with a vulpine surname knows well the Legend of Zorro!
