Heat Vision meldet... 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. Haythe's involvement is the first sign of life on the project since, which could indicate that the franchise potential of the material is a high priority for the new Disney regime. [...]
The CAA-repped Haythe wrote the screenplay for the 2004 drama "The Clearing" and has "Jekyll" in development with Red Wagon Prods. at Universal.

IESB sprach mit dem Produzenten Jerry Bruckheimer... Q: [...] It's so Johnny Depp to want to be Tonto, but did you want him as the Ranger for The Lone Ranger?
Bruckheimer: No. We always wanted him as Tonto.

Latino Review sprach mit Johnny Depp, u.a. über "The Lone Ranger"... [...] I think we're still in the sort of super beginning stages so there's all kinds of possibilities, but I feel like I have some good ideas for the character that I don't think have been done all that much before. [...]

CS! sprach mit dem Produzenten Jerry Bruckheimer... [...] That led us to wonder what the status of The Lone Ranger really was, since other than Johnny Depp as Tonto, no casting for the lead character has been announced; we asked whether that information might be forthcoming. His response was that they were going to "wait until they got a director and Disney says to go make the movie," essentially denying earlier stories that "Prince of Persia" director Mike Newell was in talks to direct the movie. "We don't have a director yet. He's too busy on 'Prince of Persia' right now," Bruckheimer confirmed.

CS! sprach mit Jerry Bruckheimer... [...] As far as approaching the sequels for "National Treasure" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," Bruckheimer says that both are having scripts written. "We've sat with the writers and we're working up the story and plotlines right now. They're in the process of finishing 'The Lone Ranger' so they're working on both of those simultaneously, same set of writers, Elliot and Rossio, who did all three 'Pirates' and worked on 'National Treasure (2)'"
[...] it was confirmed at the Disney event that Johnny Depp would also play Tonto in Bruckheimer and Disney's new version of The Lone Ranger, but when Bruckheimer was asked about the rumors of George Clooney playing the title character, he denied that it was confirmed. "We haven't decided who is going to play the Lone Ranger yet. Get a director first and then figure it out." [...]

TheSun.co.uk meldet... HOLLYWOOD heart-throb GEORGE CLOONEY is to play the Lone Ranger in a new movie.
The Oscar-winner, 47, will appear as the masked crimefighter with fellow star JOHNNY DEPP as the legend’s trusty sidekick Tonto.
An insider said last night: "George is very keen - he’s been trying to do a movie with Johnny for a long time.
"He thinks they’ll make the perfect on-screen partnership,"
The film will be written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, who also scripted the three hit Pirates Of The Caribbean films starring Depp, 45.
The fictional cowboy was invented for radio in the 1930s but is best known from the long-running 1950s TV serial, when he was played by Clayton Moore.

CS! meldet... During Disney's preview today in Hollywood, the studio questioned who could possibly play the titular character in its upcoming feature The Lone Ranger.
At that, Disney rolled out the USC marching band to come down and play the Ranger's theme song. This was followed by an appearance by Depp himself who took to the stage in full Captain Jack Sparrow attire...wearing The Lone Ranger's mask.
According to our Disney reps, Depp is officially signed to play Tonto and not the Lone Ranger as initially implied.
The Lone Ranger, said to be an origin story, is written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio.

Writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio are going from "shiver me timbers!" to "Hi-yo Silver!"
The writing duo, best known for their work on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, are in final negotiations to write a live-action big-screen adaptation of "The Lone Ranger" for Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
The project will be made by Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer Films in association with Entertainment Rights.
"Ranger," owned by Classic Media, began life as a 1930s radio show. Its popularity led to movie serials, TV shows, comic strips and comic books, toys, novels and more.
The hero's origin story begins with a group of Texas Rangers chasing down a gang of outlaws led by Butch Cavendish. The gang ambushes the Rangers, seemingly killing them all. One survivor is found, however, by an American Indian named Tonto, who nurses him back to health. The Ranger, donning a mask and riding a white stallion named Silver, teams up with Tonto to bring the unscrupulous gang and others of that ilk to justice.
Despite the long-standing presence in pop culture, however, "Ranger" has not enjoyed success in modern times. The character's most recent shot at the big screen, 1981's "The Legend of the Lone Ranger," failed so badly that the film's star, Klinton Spilsbury, never worked in Hollywood again. In 2003, WB Network aired a TV movie that served as a backdoor pilot, but it also bit the dust.
Part of the problems are the character's tropes -- wearing a mask, using only silver bullets, a creed that includes not killing your fellow man, the exclamation "Hi-yo Silver, away!" -- which can seem musty to today's audiences.
Rossio and Elliott, however, do have experience bringing back genres that seemed passe. The CAA-repped duo wrote "The Mask of Zorro," the hit adventure movie featuring one of the Ranger's contemporaries, as well as Disney's "Pirates" franchise, which breathed new life into the old skull and crossbones.
Bruckheimer is producing "Ranger," and Bruckheimer Films' Mike Stenson and Chad Oman are executive producing. Jason Reed is overseeing at Disney.
