Hi-Yo, Silver! It looks as though two of my favorite actors will be teaming up in the film “The Lone Ranger.” Johnny Depp has signed on to play Tonto and word is that George Clooney will be The Lone Ranger, himself. Apparently Clooney has long wanted to make a movie with The Depp. (I think that’s true of most people.)
According to British tabloid reports, these two legends in the making will team up in the big screen adaptation of the long-running 1950s TV show.
Depp’s involvement, as sidekick Tonto, was recently confirmed by Disney Studios bosses.
The screenplay will be penned by Pirates of the Caribbean writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio.
