Johnny Depp Talks Lone Ranger Remake

Johnny Depp is still set to star inThe Lone Rangerreboot by Disney. 

“I think it’s going to be good, when we have a chance to put it up on its feet,” Depp said in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.“What we’ve got so far screenplay-wise is really great, really funny.”

Depp will play the role of Tonto in the remake.  Depp has a very interesting take on his role, which was always considered a secondary role in the original series.

“I always felt Native Americans were badly portrayed in Hollywood films over the decades,” he says.“It’s a real opportunity for me to give a salute to them. Tonto was a sidekick in all theLone Rangerseries. {This film} is a very different approach to that partnership. And a funny one I think.”

The remake will be produced byPirates of the Caribbeanproducer Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by the firstPiratesdirector Gore Verbinski.
