'Lone Ranger' Update Finds a Writer

Before today, it had been more than a year since we had an update about The Lone Ranger. That would be strange even if this were just some run-of-the-mill potential blockbuster, but for a Disney-Jerry Bruckheimer movie that has had a signed contract for Johnny Depp since 2008, this lack of news is hard to figure.

I think we need to look internally. Disney has had an eventful year, unloading its president Dick Cook (a Depp favorite, incidentally) and replacing him with Rich Ross, who seems to be much more oriented around the bottom line. That has its good and bad points, but at least he stopped McG's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea reboot and a Wild Hogs sequel, plus a silly Robin Williams mid-life comedy.

The Lone Ranger adaptation is also a Mike Newell project, and he has no dobut had his hands full with Bruckheimer's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, so it could be that Disney never intended for this movie to happen any sooner, but everybody knew how busy Depp would be so grabbing him way ahead of time was the only way to do it.

But now there is news: Heat Vision Blog says Justin Haythe (Revolutionary Road) will write the script, and that's a strange pairing. In fact, the only thing close to The Lone Ranger on his active filmography is the unreleased Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde update, which will star Keanu Reeves. Otherwise: Revolutionary Road and The Clearing, neither of which you're likely to consider buddy action pictures.

This probably signals that more updates are coming. For example, who's going to play the masked man? Talk about tough casting. It's such an iconic role...and you have to have a guy who won't let Johnny Depp just walk off with the movie. As if that's ever been done. I honestly don't have a clue where they could go, unless it's more about Tonto in the first place. But to make Depp your second banana takes a whole lot of doing.

Sometimes Coach Legacy even sells its bags at break even point; this is the biggest opportunity for the buyers. Coach Luggage can conveniently carry notebooks along with the heavy university books.
