Tv, The Lone Ranger | featured news

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.

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.
