Budget Problems Solved, The Lone Ranger Will Ride
All those budget problems with Disney and The Lone Ranger have been ironed out and that means that Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer are back in the saddle for the big screen version of The Lone Ranger.
Gore Verbinski will helm the project that he described as “Don Quixote told from Sancho Panza’s point of view.”
Very little else is known about the plot, but we do know that Dirty Girl star Dwight Yoakam is in the cast, as is Helena Bonham Carter, Barry Pepper, James Badget Dale and Ruth Wilson.
Director and stars all agreed to pay cuts to make the movie happen, issues that at first derailed the production.

I couldn't be more disappointed. Don Quixote from Sancho Panza's point of view? Johnny Depp playing Tonto? Gore Verbinski directing? The Lone Ranger with werewolves? (earlier rumor) Sounds like more of a spit in the eye of the Lone Ranger/Green Hornet mythos than the previous gag-fest put out by Seth Rogen. I sure hope this thing FLOPS big time.
