| Hollywood Insider has learned that Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot are working on a draft of The Lone Ranger movie for uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Disney, Bruckheimer's studio of choice, won't confirm the writing assignment, but sources tell us the writing duo behind the Pirates of the Carribean franchise are trying to create a new juggernaut for Bruckheimer to exploit. Adapted from a 1930s radio show, The Lone Ranger was a live-action television show popular in the 1950s. It featured a masked Texas Ranger in the old West who relied on his Native American sidekick, Tonto. A 1981 flop film adaptation, The Legend of the Lone Ranger, failed to make a household name out of Klinton Spilsbury (pictured). More recently, The WB tried to launch a TV version of the tale, starring One Tree Hill's Chad Michael Murray, but it never made it to series. If this new script will ever reach the big screen is anyone's guess, but predicting which actor will get to utter the Ranger's popular catchphrase, "Hi-Ho Silver, Away" should lead to fun online chatter. |
Fun online chatter??? Can you feel where my thoughts are leading!!! :D
Hi-Ho Orlando! :lol:

| Jesse, help me with my memory for a minute. Didn't somewhere/sometime someone post something about Ted/Terry wanting to do a Western about the time that AWE was coming out?????? |

Your right Jesse. As he was leaving AWE, he mentioned cowboys. I can just see him with a six shooter hanging on his hips! And bet he will look great in a bona fide cowboy hat.

Wasn't Orlando's day shooting and Orlando said something about how he wanted to play a british gun slinger. And was leaving the set and he looked back and Terry and Ted and said' Remember cowboys"? I think it's in Terry's or Ted's blog!!

I don't know if this helps or not but it was indeed an entry in the writers' blog. They were talking about lining up their next project and were really interested and/or wanting to do a western. When they mentioned it to Orlando, he said he was reading a book (or just got done reading) about an english gunslinger. As they were saying goodbye, Orlando reminded Ted and Terry about doing a story about an english gunslinger. (This was after shooting for AWE was complete I believe).
This stuck in my head because they made a comment about how even big stars like Orlando are always thinking about getting their next role or project even though they have worked on such successful movies like Pirates. I read this fairly recently but I could not begin to tell you where it was in the blog. Does this jog anyone's memory? :wave:

| Thing about working in the movie business is, you're always out of a job. Losing one's job is one of the most psychologically challenging events one can face ... and for people on a film set, it's a way of life, you're never more than a few months away from another job search. The gypsy life. It affects everyone, grips and production assistants, producers and camera crew. Even actors. Even top actors. And writers. Orlando asks what we're planning to do next, and I tell him we'd like to try our hand at a western. He starts to pitch a book he loves, with a role he'd like to play, an English gunslinger who comes to the old west. The end of Pirates is still months away, but we're already planning the next gig. On the day of Orlando's picture wrap, he gives me a hug, walks away -- turns and shouts, "English gunslinger!" |

| “Hi-Ho Silver, away!” A modern movie hero who doesn’t curse, doesn’t use slang, who doesn’t drink or smoke or visit saloons, who believes in God and country and a strict moral code, who only uses guns when he has to, and even then never shoots to kill? The American West is about to get a dose of reserved cowboy justice, as super producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed to MTV News that he’s developing a “Lone Ranger” series of films. “It’s being written, well it’s not being written now, but it’s about to be written,” he said of the rumored project. “We were just working out the story before the strike and hopefully that will end soon and we can continue on.” We, in this case, means “Pirates of the Caribbean” writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. But don’t think that means the titular hero will be anything like Captain Jack, cautions Bruckheimer, who revealed that the story wouldn’t be an update, but instead something of an origin story. That means adhering to the strict moral code laid down by “Lone Ranger” creator Fran Striker. “I wouldn’t say it’s an updating of the tale, I would say it’s kind of getting back to the roots of the tale,” Bruckheimer confessed. “Where it originated from — it’s about Texas Rangers, so we’re going to take it to how the characters are created.” It would be a somewhat fitting next step for Bruckheimer and crew, considering that fifteen years ago the two genres that were universally acknowledged to be dead were pirate movies and westerns. When you’ve conquered one, why not go for the other? On the future of that first lucrative franchise, meanwhile, Bruckheimer said the time isn’t yet right to discuss “Pirates 4.” “Not yet, not yet,” he said, smiling. “We’re still counting the money from the last one!” “The Lone Ranger” will soon begin his ride off into the sunset, but before he does what do you think of Bruckheimer’s pitch? Can audiences fall in love with a goodie-goodie? And if so, who should play the masked man? |
I can easily answer the last question! :lol:
So how about Johnny Depp playing Tonto! :D :D :D
libra - December 16, 2007 04:32 PM (GMT)
Yes, audiences can fall in love with a goodie goodie especially if that goodie goodie is Orlando. He will make one hot Lone Ranger, and I can just see him on that horse as he shouts Hi Yo Silver. :faint:

I love Johnny don't get my wrong. I will go see anything he's in. I just don't know if I want to see them reteam in another movie just yet. I don't know about the media in other places, but the US media acts as if Johnny is the only one in the movie, the only reason the movie is a sucess and Orlando doesn't exist or doesn't contribute much. It really ticked me off during the entire P3 promotion.

| LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The writers of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films are in final negotiations to help bring "The Lone Ranger" to the big screen. ed Elliott and Terry Rossio will write the Disney project for prolific producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The foursome brought in $2.7 billion at the worldwide box office from the three "Pirates" films. "Ranger," owned by Classic Media, began life as a 1930s radio show. Its popularity led to movie serials, TV shows, comic strips and comic books, toys, novels and more. The hero's origin story begins with a group of Texas Rangers chasing down a gang of outlaws led by Butch Cavendish. The gang ambushes the Rangers, seemingly killing them all. One survivor is found, however, by an American Indian named Tonto, who nurses him back to health. The Ranger, donning a mask and riding a white stallion named Silver, teams up with Tonto to bring the unscrupulous gang and others of that ilk to justice. Despite the long-standing presence in pop culture, however, "Ranger" has not enjoyed success in modern times. The character's most recent shot at the big screen, 1981's "The Legend of the Lone Ranger," failed so badly that the film's star, Klinton Spilsbury, never worked in Hollywood again. Part of the problems are the character's tropes -- wearing a mask, using only silver bullets, a creed that includes not killing your fellow man, the exclamation "Hi-yo Silver, away!" -- which can seem musty to today's audiences. Rossio and Elliott, however, do have experience bringing back genres that seemed passe. They wrote "The Mask of Zorro," the hit adventure movie featuring one of the Ranger's contemporaries, as well as Disney's "Pirates" franchise, which breathed new life into the old skull and crossbones. |
