George Clooney is reportedly set to star as The Lone Ranger in the upcoming film.

Clooney is now rumored to join Johnny Depp in the big screen adaptation of the long-running 1950s TV show.

A source tells The Sun newspaper:

“George is very keen - he’s been trying to do a movie with Johnny for a long time.

“He thinks they’ll make the perfect on-screen partnership.”

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.

    No NO NO. Not every TV show should be remade into a movie. Definately not George as Lone Range.

    Well…if they can keep George away from poliitcal commentary, he might just be the straight man to Johnny Depp’s zaniness. Hope they pull this off although as mentioned, not every TV show should be made into a movies. Haven’t we learned our lesson with The Flinstones?

    NO WAY!! George is not the Lone Ranger. Depp will be great as Tonto. Viggo Mortensen shold be the Ranger.
