Good article, but still, you have to take into account that they want to make budget cuts... [LONER]
and with such high priced actors like Johnny Depp, someone is going to have to be cut.
Truth be told Johnny Depp is this films only hope. I highly doubt people will flock to the theatres to see "Lone Ranger" a classic it may be, when there isn't an actor that stands out. Same thing happened with X-Men, not many people were too familiar with the franchise (and comic book movies at the time were nill) so they had to have a pretty well known "stud" like Houghe Jackman. Film did well, because I remember people saying (who didn't know much about X-Men) yeah Jackman is Wolverine, let's see it.
Without Depp, this film won't do so hot. So it's eather make compensation for high budget and barely make profit, or start with new actors and do it extremely low budget. However, either way, this film won't be making high profits for Disney. (at least I doubt it)

My thoughts on [LONER]'s production stop Aug 13, 11:32
I never thought this movie was a good idea. And I really like Verbinski's previous 2 Westerns (Rango and The Mexican). {nm} Aug 13, 13:57
there's no way it can be retooled to less than 175 with the same talent deals unless depp is dropped to a very minor role {nm} Aug 13, 12:02
At which point Jdepp would likely drop out since they have been using him to promote the film at trade eventssince 2008 {nm} Aug 13, 12:08
Depp is pay or play so the money is already spent on him- I bet Bruckheimer has a similar deal. {nm} Aug 13, 12:36
Why are people caught on on CBALN as the comparison. It wasn't a western, it was a sci-fi in a western period. Aug 13, 12:03
OOps, strike summer. {nm} Aug 13, 12:12
interesting points but my portfolio is still a bloodbath at the moment Aug 13, 12:08

Yeah my last post was tagged, and I didn't really know it would show up there. My bad. {nm} Aug 13, 14:32
Yeah it will definitely get made. Maybe stalled until summer, but I think that they will have to rework everything Aug 13, 14:33
Sorry if this has already been posted. Aug 13, 14:45
