According to "MovieWeb" director Gore Verbinski might reunite with Johnny Depp on THE LONE RANGER. As you know, the two of them worked together on THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. The popular western follows The Ranger, a masked cowboy riding a white stallion named Silver, who is trying to bring the unscrupulous gangs and others of that ilk to justice.
Lovely Rachel Bilson (Hayden Christensen's ex girlfriend) has pretty much disappeared after starring in THE O.C. but now she will be the main star of a show with an uber-cool name GHOST ANGELES :) This new NBC show will revolve around a young woman living in Los Angeles who can talk to the dead, so something like GHOST WHISPERER but without Jennifer Love Hewitt :) The show will be produced by Josh Schwartz (CHUCK, GOSSIP GIRL).
The latest gossip about SUPERMAN reboot says that one of the strongest candidates for the director's seat is Darren Aronofsky and according to the same gossip if he takes the helm he will put his muse Natalie Portman in the role of Lois Lane, with whom he just finished BLACK SWAN. The rumors also say that Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures had wanted Natalie Portman in this role back when they were shooting SUPERMAN RETURNS a few years ago as well. The reboot must start with the production soon before the studios lose rights on the famous superhero character.
So Johnny Depp would be the Lone Ranger? I always knew there was something interesting behind that mask. :)

@Masy
ReplyDeletewell, he is always wearing hats in his private life as well :))
@Clarissa
the movies or Superman himself? :))
I loved GHOST WHISPERER and now that it's off, it'd be nice to have another ghost show ... hopefully it's not just a rip off set in another city with a different lead.
ReplyDeleteI like Natalie Portman, but that fact that she might be Lois Lane doesn't really excite me. Superman is a boring superhero ... and the movies don't have a great track record.
Oh, dear Quinn, I couldn't agree more with you on Superman being a bit boring superhero!
ReplyDeleteThe Lone Ranger???!!! Who's gonna be Tonto? I guess Hopalong Cassidy will be up next.

Tossing It Out
i wonder if they could re-imagine superman to make it more exciting? i mean, natalie portman is amazing. why waste her talent?
ReplyDeleteHmm. Interesting ...
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect and incredible pairs: Gore Verbinski - Johnny Depp, Darren Aronofsky - Natalie Portman, they can collaborate in any film and genre with an always interesting result for sure.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm....Natalie Portman....Not a Superman fan but I'd watch it for her.
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp riding a white horse...I'll watch for sure!
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp will make for a snarky Lone Ranger, that's for sure! Wonder who'll play Tonto?
ReplyDelete@Arlee
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing they could dress up Helena Bonham Carter as a man and give her the role of TOnto :)) She likes starring alongside Depp :)
@Vics
ugh, I must admit I'm one of those people who see absolutely no talent in Portman :)
@Matthew
hmmm. Interesing
@Bryan
ReplyDeleteah, yes, sf boys usually like her for some reason :)
@Julie
glad you would
@Alex
see my answer to Arlee :)
oh Johnny!! -- swoon -- I'm excited about the Lone Ranger. Not so excited about ANOTHER superman
ReplyDeleteDEZMOND - I love the actor, Johnny Depp. Hi ho Silver . . .
ReplyDeleteSorry to bust everyone's bubble but Johnny Depp has always been tied to the role of Tonto not the Lone Ranger. His possible involvement and role has been out there for a couple years, just like Dark Shadows (which I'm beginning to think will never get made.)
ReplyDeleteAnd if the dead could talk I'd think they'd say enough with the ghost whisperer shows!
@Jaccsy
ReplyDeleteI know you love those combinations unlike me :)
@Lynda
yep, it seems no one is excited about Superman
@Shells
Hi ho! :)
@Answer
oh, that makes sense, Depp was always choosing crazier roles.
Natalie Portman as Lois Lane = awesome :D
ReplyDeleteDepp's a good choice for The Lone Ranger, though now he's played a pirate and a cowboy, shall we be seeing a ninja any time soon?
it wouldn't surprise me at all, Jamie :)))
ReplyDeleteYou know I'll see Johnny in anything. Dude's severely talented. (And hot) ;)
ReplyDeleteyep, too bad he always plays the same role.
ReplyDeleteI like Johnny Depp. :)
