First Look At The "Zorro" Sequel
Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have returned to the franchise which helped make their careers - 1998's "The Mask of Zorro" - by shooting the sequel in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, through December.
USA Today reveals that in "The Legend of Zorro" directed by Martin Campbell ("Goldeneye", "The Mask of Zorro"), dashing Alejandro and sultry Elena are married and have a 10-year-old son, Joaquin (Adrian Alonso), who knows nothing of his dad's secret swashbuckling identity.
Besides, the missus would be thrilled if Mr. Z kept his sword sheathed once and for all. But when greedy villains threaten to halt California's statehood, it's Zorro to the rescue once again.
Zeta-Jones insist their character's passion is still flaming - "Being married has only enhanced their feelings for each other". The actress has to retrain a bit for her swordfighting skills. The paper also has the first picture from the movie seen above right.
