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/ |

I guess its back on again....
http://www.deadline.com/2011/10/disn...-release-slot/ BREAKING: Disney has confirmed that the Gore Verbinski-directed Johnny Depp-starrer The Lone Ranger has come back on track, with the studio setting the film for a May 31, 2013 release. As Deadline revealed yesterday, the film will begin production February 6. The film was originally supposed to get underway this fall for a December 21, 2012 release, but all that changed when Disney shocked Hollywood by unplugging the film over fears that its budget could reach $275 million. Deadline revealed that news exclusively on August 12. It was a surprising move, considering that Bruckheimer is a cornerstone producer and Depp has starred in the studio’s highest-grossing films, with both of them teaming with Verbinski on the first three installments of The Pirates Of The Caribbean. Verbinski, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Depp rose to the challenge, though, even though it was a painful one. They reworked their compensation deals and figured out ways to save money in the production budget. They brought the budget down to a figure that is around $215 million, I’m told. Taking responsibility to bring the film in for that price was the only way that the studio was going to make the film. Considering that most Westerns don’t travel overseas as well as some other genres (Cowboys & Aliens has proven to be an offshore disappointment), The Lone Ranger is still a big bet by a studio that is backing John Carter, a film that costs more than $250 million, and Oz The Great And Powerful, which hovers at around $200 million. At least now, Disney’s risk on The Lone Ranger has been contained. The studio made that work with Bruckheimer before on films like Pearl Harbor, where Bruckheimer, director Michael Bay and Ben Affleck all waived fees until the studio broke even. All of them made big money on the backend. Nobody will lose here if The Lone Ranger turns out to be as big a hit as Depp’s recent tent pole efforts. The last two Pirates films grossed over $1 billion and so did Alice in Wonderland. And The Tourist‘s lackluster $67 million domestic gross was boosted by a $211 million overseas gross. Disney has also moved Thor 2 from its July 13, 2013 and back to November 15, 2013, and also dated Phineas And Ferb to open July 26, 2013. |

This is going to be horrible. When you have your biggest actor playing a sidekick, good things are not going to happen. The previous Lone Ranger movie back in the 80's brought up a big stink resulting in the studio suing Clayton Moore to prohibit him from wearing a mask in public. He ended up wearing dark glasses.

First look:
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer leaked the first photo of stars Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer in full make-up and costume for The Lone Ranger. http://popcultureblog.dallasnews.com...epp-tonto.html

Well, original Lone Ranger was pretty heavy on cheese.
Maybe this is the best way.

Which will be worse, this or Dark Shadows? Can it be a tie?

I haven't heard much about the Dark Shadows movie. Is Johnny Depp in that one, too?

Damn, I loved Lone Ranger reruns as a kid. He should be wearing white, and Tonto should look like an Indian, not some voodoo KISS princess.
