Wow. This could be the first time that Tonto upstages the main character.

Unless the Lone Ranger is Jack Nicholson.

I think we know what happened to the Rum! The Producers found it, drank it, and while under the influence, decided Depp could be a Indian. I think I need a drink...

WHOEVER THEY GET TO PLAY LONERANGER HAS TO BE A MAN'S MAN, RUGGED, STUNT WORTHY AND AWSOME WITH THE GUN TRICKS..THE GUY WHO PLAYS THE SHERRIF ON EUREKA WOULD BE COOL, ALSO MAYBE SOME OTHER NAMES-HUGH JACKMAN, MATTHEW MCONAHAY,BRAD PITT..ANY THOUGHTS?

[GUNSMITH]

I HOPE THEY CHANGE THE MASK UP ALLITTLE, WHAT WOULD BE COOL WOULD BE A MASK KINDA LIKE DEADPOOL OR BLACK PANTHER(WITHOUT THE EARS)..KINDA LIKE THE HANGMANS DEATH MASK ONLY MORE FORM FITTED..HOLLYWOOD IS IN REBOOT MODE..REBOOT REBOOT!!

What? They couldn't find a Native American actor? Unless Depp has some native blood in him. -checks ye old wikipedia- Oh. Well it lists him as being Irish, German, and Native American (Cherokee). Not bad.

benjamin pratt from law & order would of been a better tonto and depp as the lone ranger, but hey this could work.. the only problem is that there going to have to get another actor that can hold his own with depp..hmmmm.. maybe russell crowe or christian bale.. wait.. he already has batman and terminator forget about bale he cant play every superhero.

The Native American Actors Union (if there is such a thing) is going to be highly pissed.
