Johnny Depp to Play "Tonto" in new Lone Ranger

[a pretty girl is like]

Johnny Depp already did a good job of playing a drunk pirate.  Drunken injun would be a cakewalk.

*Also Adam Beach reacts to the news this way:  WTF!!!!!

This might work.  Alec Guinness was able to pull off playing an Arab.

And an old woman.

You know the funny thing, Wayne looks like a skinny version of my father in law in that film.

Johnny does have native blood, and this won't be his first time playing one.

Well the worst is yet to come...

Tom Cruise begs Disney to cast him as Lone Ranger opposite Johnny Depp's Tonto, to save his career

Mickey and Johnny...and the GMD???

Exclusive.

Rumours are circulating via tabloids right now that it'll be George Clooney to play the Lone Ranger opposite Johnny Depp's Tonto. Not exactly inspired casting...

But now an interesting twist. Am told exclusively that Tom Cruise knocked on the House of the Mouse last Thursday and asked to be considered for the part.

The Gay Midget Dwarf as the Lone Ranger?

Apparently he understands his popularity has diminished. As such, he wants to resurrect on the wings of Disney and Depp, humbly accepting that he cannot do it alone, that he needs another big name to lend a hand. And then there's the matter of United Artists, his floundering studio. Word is he's kissing Disney ass because he wants UA to be sheltered under the Disney umbrella.

Disney execs were said to be surprised by these developments during the meeting and are carefully considering the GMD's proposal.

Tommy and Johnny...

You likey?

[Doctor Who?]

Please tell me that's a joke.

[gammer]

I've actually read that on several different web sites...
Doesn't make it any more truthful..just sayin', is all

[Doctor Who?]

Would anyone be able to believe Tom Criuse as The Lone Ranger?

The Lone Ranger needs to be tough and that is never a word i would use to describe Criuse.

The Lone Ranger needs to be tough and that is never a word i would use to describe Criuse.

Or Clooney.

[Tripe]

You said it, Clooney fills me with inertia.

Well, I remember everyone bitching about Cruise as Lestat - including Anne Rice.  Until they actually saw him and then they all apologized.  Rice even took out an ad in the paper.

He could rise to the occasion with a good script.

BUT, as The Lone Ranger with Depp there.....don't know.  That's kind of a fight on two fronts - doing the character properly and then not being outshone.

[Chaos]

Whereas I thought he made an already shitty character even worse. Go figure.

[Tripe]

He certainly upped the campness
