Johnny Depp's 'The Lone Ranger' Not Dead After All
In what has become one of the more annoyingly waffling stories in Hollywood, it has been reported that Disney’s 'The Lone Ranger' is now officially back in production. Recently the plug was pulled on the project, we thought for good, mostly over disputes with the budget; said to be nearing $300 million. But now it appears that a compromise has been made and the film will now move forward with a measly (yeah right) $215 million budget. No word yet as to how this will affect the original release date, but we’re going to go ahead and assume it will not be released next holiday season since shooting isn’t likely to begin until next year.
Many people were attributing what happened to 'The Lone Ranger' on the failure of 'Cowboys and Aliens'. It seemed that not even the addition of extraterrestrials could curb the dangerous trend of modern westerns not being profitable. But let’s face it, Disney was always going to go through with this project. After seeing the mammoth international box office numbers for 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides', there was no way they were going to pass on another Johnny Depp film; especially not one that reteamed him with the original 'PotC' captain Gore Verbinski.

Normally I'd agree, but the werewolf angle has actually got me intrigued and I love Mr. Verbinski so I'm willing to see how it goes.
Since when is $215 Mil. a tough number to cut it down to? Somewhere an accountant needs to be fired

Actually a western themed werewolf movie would be good. They did an episode of Scoobydoo that dealt with an Ancient Native American Wolf Spirit that would take hold of people.We have a Werecoyote and a Ware Wolf Shaman here.

I am a huge Depp fan, but once again, I feel Hollywood is trying to rape my childhood. I get the part that Depp, being part native American, wants to tap into that world and experience, but I think it could, should be done in a whole lot more inventive and authentic ways.

OK, STOP! HOW ON EARTH DOES A FILM SET IN THE OLD WEST COST $300 MILLION?
In the old days filmmakers liked westerns because if you travel east of LA you find a lot of desert that looks like the old west, visual effects and spaceships were complicated but prop guns and horses were easier to come by, this is crazy!

zorro,lone ranger, and the three musketeers are movies that either need to stop being fucking made or not made at all. The characters are two simple for the audience to give a shit about.

Yep, this film is gonna bite the dust unless they release it on the summer or winter holidays, but then again, Cowboys and Aliens sadly flopped in the summer thanks to a certain movie, so all hopes of this movie being a success is lost.
