Well, that's disappointing. Was anyone else looking forward to this one?

Prefer godless westerns, myself.
This sucks. However, I thought they could have done better casting the title role. I'd rather it were someone closer to Depp's caliber.

Re: The Lone Ranger movie cancelled
DarthNeil's typo made me smile, and made me think for a sec, of a Jack Kirby western, with Jack's god-being Galactcus versus a Silver man with no name. Silver cowboys and God-Aliens.
Yeah, and of course a godless western is the way to go, something like Raoul Walsh's Betrayed or Lone Plains Drifter.
In all seriousness Disney must have pulled it because there's simply no need to gamble on an archaic property when they've got so many franchises in the wings with a built in audience.
Sad but true.

I guess it was going to be too expensive having Depp riding a CGI horse through CGI environments photorealistically recreating Monument Valley without requiring any actual location shooting.

Re: The Lone Ranger movie cancelled
I always thought tiny little Depp as Tonto with 6'4" Armie Hammer as the Ranger was going to look pretty weird. I was looking forward to it - but not terribly disappointed it's been shelved.
And the HT figures would have been the exact same height...

Re: The Lone Ranger movie cancelled
I thought we had a couple of threads on this film already
I'm actually really surprised it's been chopped. Depp is a proven moneymaker for Disney and even as dodgy as the last two outings have been they've been raking in the cash. I wonder if Disney will retain the rights or if they'll sell them off to another company or even lease them out to have another company handle this property. I don't think we've heard the last of this from this group just yet...

This is a huge bummer. Would much rather see this happen than another PIRATES abomination. Disney has no balls.
If I we're Depp I'd tell Disney to ____ off with another Jack Sparrow unless they green light this again. They owe him & Verbinski better anyway.

Depp is part Native-American. And Tonto wasn't the lead, it was the Ranger played by Armie Hammer (who was great in THE SOCIAL NETWORK) and looks the part.

Reading up on this it sounds like it's Bruckheimer's fault. He wouldn't agree to less than a $250 million budget for the film, which is beyond ridiculous.

Re: The Lone Ranger movie cancelled
I wonder if this is just Disney posturing to either get Bruckheimer to buckle or release the project for another production company? A kind of either our way or the highway with the announcing of the canceling to be the power move on their part.

I actually really like spaghetti westerns the most.
Once Upon a Time in the West
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
A Fistful of Dollars
Are just a few of my all time favorites.
