As most of you know by now the Lone Ranger movie that was going to star Johnny Depp got cancelled due to a big budget. Normally western movie are very low cost but the film was said to have Native American werewolves and "the biggest train sequence in film history".

Well according to comingsoon.net Gore Verbinski, who would have been director if the movie was going to be made, is making moves to lower the ridiculous $250 million budget.

It was also rumored that Verbinski may be dropped altogether as Disney may start from scratch. Although they arent sure if big star Johnny Depp would still be attached.



I know many of you think this is a bad idea but they do have all the pieces to make this a great film. And how about that train sequence they mentioned? That sounds exciting.

What do you guys think?

The Lone Ranger is the type of movie that has a name that people recognize, but I highly doubt that it would just destroy the box office. Similarly, I'm not expecting Conan the Barbarian, John Carter of Mars, etc to do particularly well. They should make some money, sure, but $250 million is such a high price and they would have to make SO much money to get a good profit out of it that I don't think it's necessarily possible. It makes perfect sense to me why they'd be hesitant to do this project at that price. There's no guarantee they'll crack some Avatar numbers.

The problem is that, apparently, Lone Ranger was genre-meld, and that didn't exactly work out so well for Cowboys & Aliens.

So nobody -- not Disney, not anyone -- is going to want Cowboys vs. anything that costs a great deal of money. But a known quantity like Lone Ranger at least has a chance...at the right price.
