Some franchises peter out once they’ve stretched to burping up a trilogy. And then there are the powerhouses, the ones that ride the choppy waves of critical reaction and still connect with audiences, earning gazillions along the way. Disney’s Pirates Of The Caribbean series falls squarely into the latter category, and the studio (plus producer Jerry Bruckheimer ) has been busy setting up the fifth installment  Catch Me If You Can writer Jeff Nathanson is the man hired to craft the latest script draft. Pirates veteran Terry Rossio – largely responsible for the first four movies alongside partner Ted Elliott – was hired alone in January 2011 to begin working up the next script, details about which are being kept secret for now. Then things moved even further ahead when it was reported in July of that year that Johnny Depp , who has always indicated he’d be willing to slap on Captain Jack Sparrow’s mascara for a new outing assuming he liked what was on the page, had entered talk

First I would suggest turning down the volume on your computer all you here is wind blowing. Collider brought t his to our attention. This is the first actual footage of Johnny Depp as Tonto. Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer , the upcoming big-screen remake of The Longer Ranger has gotten a fair share of attention—thanks in large part to the unique detail Depp is taking with his Tonto costume (you know, like the giant dead bird on his head). The Lone Ranger is a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto ( Johnny Depp ) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid ( Armie Hammer ), a man of the law, into a legend of justice--taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption Please Leave A Comment- Source- Blastr

THE LONE RANGER will be released in May 2013. Please Leave A Comment-

How that late start impacts the Dec. 21, 2012 release date remains to be seen, but Johnny Depp will get to play Tonto (Disney wouldn’t make the movie without him), and Armie Hammer will be back in as the title character. Ruth Wilson , the scene-stealing killer from Idris Elba’s British cop series Luther, is also expected back as the female lead. Disney has gotten to this point after a painful overhaul of the movie by producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski to bring to $215 million a budget the studio feared could reach $250 or more. Verbinski’s struggle has been to reach that number while retaining enough of the spectacle that made them say yes in the first place. The cutting process has included the reworking of deals for Depp, Verbinski and Bruckheimer, and trimming the production budget and the long shoot. That would enable Depp, Gore and Bruckheimer to re-team after making the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films together. The Lone Ranger is one of several

Johnny Depp is in Europe right now, but really wanted to make The Lone Ranger. According to one insider, "Let's see how it all shakes out on Monday. There's always a chance that it could go. You never know until you know." The deeper story behind this production stoppage is about how movies are costing too much, studios are giving major pushback, and today's backdrop of a crazy economy. Everyone involved is still intent on the project and still in discussions to see what can be done. But the studio's concern is spending over $200M on a Western, even with Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp and a comedic slant. So clearly Disney took drastic action. Now the studio and filmmakers are trying to figure out the next step, either to shop it elsewhere or put it back together at a later date at a lower budget. In a stunning development, Disney has shut down production on The Lone Ranger , the Gore Verbinski-directed period Western that was to star Johnny Depp as Tonto

Disney will release Lone Ranger on December 21, 2012, giving the studio a big holiday entry in a crowding field. The film, directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Armie Hammer as the title character and Johnny Depp as Tonto , takes place in 1869. A Texas Ranger, left for dead, is saved by the Comanche Tonto, who gives his new partner the masked identity of Lone Ranger. Justin Haythe, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio wrote the script and Jerry Bruckheimer is producing. The film begins production later this year. The holiday corridor of 2012 is getting more competitive. Warner Bros recently set a December 14, 2012 release date for the Peter Jackson-directed The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey , and on December 21, the Ang Lee-directed Life of Pi opens against Universal's untitled Judd Apatow film as well as Relativity Media's Hunter-Killer. Of course, date shifting is allowed. Coming off the success of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, this is the second major film

Have You Lost That Love And Feeling? Reinflate your beach volleyballs, don your aviators, and apply some Coppertone to your shaven chests, lads, for the sequel to Top Gun is nigh! We have  learned that Paramount Pictures has made offers to both producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott to follow up their action classic, and has a missile lock on Oscar-winning screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects) to update the script, one in which Tom Cruise’s Maverick would play a smaller role. Maverick would be confused and slightly depressed by the state of Top Gun these days, anyway. Last June, at a junket for Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Bruckheimer let slip that he had been “recently approached again to start talking about [a sequel]” but noted that “the aviation community has completely changed since we made the movie a long time ago.” Since 1986, the TOPGUN syllabus has been changed so the focus is far less on the spectacular and dramatic air-to-air do

National Treasure 3 Is Going To Happen We got word from the good guy's over at comingsoon that there will be a third National Treasure film. Well why not with the success of the first two movies ($800m worldwide box office receipts ) Jerry Bruckheimer is keen to go, Nicolas Cage presumably likewise, and they have discovered that Carlo Bernard and Doug Miro are at work, right now, on the script. Bernard and Miro both wrote Prince of Persia and The Sorceror's Apprentice Which stars Cage and directed by John Turteltaub, who made both National Treasure films. We haven't gotten any word yet if the original cast would be making a return, which I think that they would. With a family atmosphere and a decent payday might suggest the odds are on "yes".
