Steven Spielberg warned him Antonio Banderas on the set of the film “The Mask of Zorro” in 1998 for the impending rise in the use of CGI (completely computer generated images).

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the action film, directed by Martin Campbell and produced by Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, in a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Antonio Banderas recalled that the American director and producer told him that “things are going to change.”

“Steven Spielberg once told me during filming, “This will probably be one of the last westerns that is shot the way westerns were shot back in the day, with real scenes with real horses, real swords, where everything is real, no CGI.”said the actor. Steven Spielberg, according to Banderas, also emphasized: “But things will change. They will change quickly. And so you should be proud of this movie».

“I don’t know if I fully realized when I was making the film that it would have an impactBanderas added. “The impact it has, and especially after 25 years… It was a very beautiful adventure film with a lot of ingredients that made it shine in a very beautiful way. I have nothing but good memories,” he emphasized.

Banderas and his co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones reprized their roles in the 2005 sequel The Legend of Zorro, which was far less successful commercially.
