Jerry Bruckheimer and the team behind Pirates of the Caribbean will be moving onto a western next - The Lone Ranger. Not only producer Jerry Bruckheimer, but director Gore Verbinski, and screenwriting team Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, would again be taking on this project together. They're trying to give it a “revamp", so to say, and I'm guessing turn it into the next three-part series like Pirates of the Caribbean, but can they pull it off with a pretty dang old western?


The Lone Ranger is a television and radio show that premiered first in 1933, and is about a masked crime fighting Texas Ranger and his Indian sidekick Tonto. The hero was last seen on screen in 1981 in The Legend of the Lone Ranger, and in 2003 the WB network ran a TV movie / series pilot that became a flop.

Why!? You know they are going to put in all this politically correct crap in it - especially where Tonto is concerned. It'll be ruined! :mad:

The 1981 big screen remake was a tremendous flop.

Quit while you're behind Kemosabe.

;)

That's what I was thinking TJ, LOL.

I'd still watch this over the Barbarella remake (puke:) any day!!

The 1981 big screen remake was a tremendous flop.

So much of a flop that Klinton Spilsbury received 2 Razzies, One for worst actor for The Legend of the Lone Ranger and the other for worst new star of 1982.

Quit while you're behind Kemosabe.;)

Exactly, Although I thought John Hart did a good job in the role, Clayton Moore was the true Lone Ranger. I wish Clayton had appeared in the Hi-Yo Fonzie Away episode of Happy Days but even with John Hart, That episode was way better than the 1981 movie. :lol:

True, LOL. I remember that episode. Klinton Spilsbury disappeared after the movie bombed.
