According to several sources on the internet production on Disney’s Lone Ranger has stopped. Some additional sources are saying that the movie has been cut completely.
The Lone Ranger from Gore Verbinski that would have starred Johnny Depp was Disney Big production for 2012. It appears the film was too expensive to the tune of 250 MILLION DOLLARS.
Here are the details from Deadline:
In a stunning development, Disney has shut down production on The Lone Ranger, the Gore Verbinski-directed period Western that was to star Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the title character. Jerry Bruckheimer is the producer and the script is by Justin Haythe.
I’m told this all just happened, and Disney pulled the plug because of the budget. I’ve heard the filmmakers were trying to reduce the film’s cost from $250 million (some even say $275 million) down to $232 million. But it wasn’t the $200 million that Disney wanted to spend. And between Depp, Bruckheimer, and Verbinski, the gross outlay on the film is substantial.
