The response so far from the studio is extremely tepid (although they respect Depp and the director).

So I'm cautiously optimistic about the Lone Ranger. As long as they don't turn it into a farce like Pirates, it could be good, but with Johnny Depp attached, I won't hold my breath.jeditednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-36859603832462770512010-09-28T11:57:19.079-07:002010-09-28T11:57:19.079-07:00Depends who you ask.

That said, I don't wish them to be politically correct as well.<br /><br />Let's wait until we actually see the film before judging it.

If you are going to cast Tonto cast a full-blooded Native American actor in the role who will take it seriously, not someone who will make the character into a drunken farce.

But think about it, the Lone Ranger is the kind of wholesome, old-fashioned icon that is a perfect fit for Disney. Obviously, "old-fashioned" is also the challenge. <br /><br />If they can come up with a fun, contemporary spin on the Western in the same way that they did for pirates, this could be great. Think along the lines of the Zorro remakes that were done a while back. And just imagine what it could do for Frontierland, I bet WDI would love to put the Lone Ranger into the parks.Doopeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810664293028014984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-79110748014238512222010-09-28T07:18:20.992-07:002010-09-28T07:18:20.992-07:00YES!

What great movie news to hear, one of my favorite directors of one of my favorite film trilogies doing a western like this. I absolutely love westerns, so this is quite good news for me, plus Johnny as Tonto would be hilarious.Kevin Bruehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279350427997662855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-27499002447043459592010-09-28T07:14:22.655-07:002010-09-28T07:14:22.655-07:00"This has fail written all over it."
