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/ |

Worthington is not a bad actor. He is at least as good Banderas who played Zorro.
Here's a crude rendition of him as the LR. |

Sometimes when it's really late, I call him The Long Ranger.

The only problem with Olyphant is he looks like a villain.
By the way, I don't like the blue on white outfit. I guess it's "canon" or whatever, but I always watched the Lone Ranger in black and white, and had the idea in my head that he wore gray.

He's a pretty boy that looks like Hollywood's ideal leading man but in reality, he's a sub-par actor at best. And cheap (his quote is only $3 million per film). With a property like the Lone Ranger and a Johnny Depp attached, Bruckheimer and Disney will be looking at guys like McConaghey, Bale, Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhall - even a Bradley Cooper in the role. It won't be a TV guy and it won't be Sam Worthington. That guy has the personality of a lump of potatoes. |

Terminator didn't even break domestically even and Avatar would have been a huge success with just about anyone in that role. It was more about the visuals than the acting or story. Clash of the Titans only made about $30 million more than the budget domestically, which basically means it lost money because advertising costs are figured into the earnings total. The reason I bring up domestic totals is that the studios are more concerned with the US market when it comes to casting an iconic American character than the international markets. |
