Hollywood is bringing back 'The Lone Ranger' in 2012!
As my avatar suggests the Lone Ranger was a boyhood hero of mine.
Clayton Moore perhaps could never be dethroned as the best Lone Range EVER. Hokey as their episodes are I can still watch the old lone Ranger and Tonto galloping on Silver and Scout to help the oppressed. That said, for a few years now, I have had this idea that we needed a Hollywood remake that adults would enjoy too. One that would get a Batman treatment for a darker, edgier Lone Ranger. This Lone Ranger would shoot to kill, instead of just shooting the guns out of the bad guys' hand. I really hope that Hollywood will not cop out on this. Thoughts?.... Cast suggestions. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210819/ |

Trivia: Which company created the character of the Lone Ranger and still owns the rights to it?

He's the currently the only American leading man in Hollywood under the age of 40. Heath Legder would have been a good choice. Too bad. |

Oh, and there's no way Bruckheimer casts Nathan Fillion.
As great as he is on TV, producers rarely cast a mostly unknown television star in a mega-budget, big name property. |

Heath Ledger's skinny ass as the ****ing Lone Ranger?
Awful. The Lone Ranger should be 40 and manly, not 25 and cute.

You know, I kind of felt that way myself. The more I think about it though, the more I can see it.

I loved Bale in 3:10 to Yuma but the Lone Ranger he is not.

They will backstreet boy it up with some tween$.
That's what hollywood does. Not about the 'art' or the authenticity. Remakes almost always disappoint. |
