Django/Zorro crossover movie moving forward based on Tarantino's 2014 comic book story

Academy Award winner Brian Helgeland, who adapted Mystic River and LA Confidential, is writing it.

Tarantino won't be directing, but gives his blessing.

The comic was published back in 2014 and was considered maybe the closest Tarantino might come to a sequel in the continuation of the adventures of the slave-turned-bounty hunter played by Jamie Foxx in the 2012 film Django Unchained. Tarantino directed that film, but won’t helm this one, though I understand that this film has his blessing to move forward at Sony where he’s expected to make his final film as director.

The project is in early development with Helgeland scripting a new story that follows on from the comic series. In that comic, Django continued to track despicable prey as bounty hunter, and developed a kinship with Don Diego de la Vega, who was played by Anthony Hopkins in the 1998 TriStar film The Mask of Zorro, where Don Diego passed on the Zorro mantle to Alejandro Murrieta (Antonio Banderas) in the 1998 Martin Campbell-directed film.
