Brian Helgeland, an Oscar-winner for “L.A. Confidential,” has been tapped to write a crossover film about characters from “Django Unchained” and “The Mask of Zorro.”

Although based on the 2014 comic series co-written by Quentin Tarantino and Matt Wagner, the untitled movie will revolve around a new story. Plot details aren’t clear, though the film is expected to follow the exploits of Django — the bounty hunter played by Jamie Foxx in Tarantino’s 2012 revisionist Western “Django Unchained” — as he forms an unlikely alliance with the legendary masked vigilante known as Zorro — portrayed by Anthony Hopkins in 1998’s “The Mask of Zorro” and Antonio Banderas in 2005’s “The Legend of Zorro.”
