Johnny Depp, The Lone Ranger | featured news

Principal photography for The Lone Ranger was completed recently, but it was not without problems. The shoot was beset by violent dust storms, budget overruns, and even a death on the set. We're curious to see how this $250+ million movie turned out, and we can get our first glimpse of the movie in the trailer below.

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.

Walt Disney Studios' much-anticipated big-screen adaptation of "The Lone Ranger" starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer has been shut down, according to a source close to the production.

Actor looks forward to ''The Lone Ranger,'' and the opportunity to ''reinvent'' sidekick character.

I don't even think this is news anyone cares about, so it's gonna be a short article. Justin Haythe, who adapted "Revolutionary Road," is negotiating to take on the script for Disney's "The Lone Ranger." Jerry Bruckheimer is producing the project, which announced the casting of Johnny Depp as Tonto nearly a year and a half ago.

Jerry Bruckheimer spoke with MTV News at the junket for his new film, “Confessions of a Shopaholic”. Talking about future projects, he let slip that, while the script is done and Johnny Depp has signed on as Tonto there’s still a little matter of finding the lead.
