No More Lone Ranger
$250M is what the budget for The Lone Ranger was up to. That is a ton of money for an unproven franchise. Sure, those of us who are over a certain age can probably remember the television show, but that is it, and that was a long time ago. So, instead of moving on with uncertainty, the plug was pulled on the movie. Oh, Johnny Depp will still get paid but at least Disney managed to cut its losses. I don't know why it needed to be $250M, I think this movie would work as a much smaller picture. Make it more art house and less a Disney ride.
Was anyone like oh I cannot wait to see this movie? I don't think I would have ever rushed to see it in the movies. I probably would have eventually watched it on DVD, but it was not going to get me to spend $50. $15 ticket plus $35 in booze.
