Mike Newell to Direct The Lone Ranger
Source: Production Weekly
April 30, 2009


Mike Newell is in talks to direct Walt Disney Pictures' The Lone Ranger, reports Production Weekly.

The Lone Ranger'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 (Johnny Depp), 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.

Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio wrote the script. Newell directed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and is helming the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

That's a pretty good get. Goblet of Fire is my favorite Potter film.

Gore Verbinski, eh?

Hmmm....

 

[C. Lee]

Depp playing Tonto? Native American actors will protest.

 

[rogue trooper]

Jon Hamm as the Lone Ranger.

Ditto, and bring on Ian McShane as Butch Cavendish.

Depp playing Tonto? Native American actors will protest.

He is part Native American.

 

[Project862006]

and Reeves is half Asian

they wont care what he is but what he looks like

 

[terry78]

Depp has that luxury of having those ambiguous racial features so he could play everything from white to latin to native american without anyone really griping.

I have big big hopes for this one, even though I'm still a little Johnny Depp'ed-out after those last 2 awful Pirates movies. Looking forward to more news.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Nice that we have a director.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Blast from the past! Who remembers the Legend of the Lone Ranger toy line from Gabriel?

I heard that the Lone Ranger's mask will be CGI.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Where?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

you know, i think i like that depp and verbinki are starting to collaborate a lot, at least verbinki challenges depp as an actor somewhat. ::cough:: unlinke burton ::cough::

 

[dark_b]

Where?

[Nightwing 52]

Ah.

 

[That-Guy]

Although... never say never. Who knows? After all, they have to find some way to make the Lone Ranger's costume more interesting.

Are you kidding? Sweeney Todd definitely challenged Depp. Way more than just playing Jack Sparrow and swinging around a sword for the past 7-8 years. But yeah, there wasn't anything really challenging about being Wonka or Mad Hatter, just a bit of silly fluff but Depp was fun.

Now he's playing the Lone Ranger for Disney. Depp is basically just accumulating as much money in his bank account as quick as he possibly can.
