Gore Verbinski, Adaptation | featured news

Back in August, it looked like Disney’s big plan to make a film version of The Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer and director Gore Verbinski might never happen, since the studio had balked at the project’s hefty cost. Now, after a few weeks of talks and money bargaining, Deadline reports that the Ranger is back in the saddle with a reduced budget.

Less than a month after the announcement that director Gore Verbinski would be directing a live action movie based on Take-Two Interactive's video game Bioshock , Variety reports that Universal Pictures has put the brakes on the film in the middle of preproduction.
