As you know,
Gore Verbinski (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN) is planning a film adaptation of
LONE RANGER, the story of a masked cowboy riding a white stallion named Silver who, with the help of his Native American sidekick Tonto, tries to
bring unscrupulous gangs and others of that ilk to justice.
Johnny Depp has been set to play Tonto from the beginning, and although there were some rumors that
George Clooney might play the Ranger, there are new reports which say that the director has cast his eye on ultra charismatic
Timothy Olyphant as the possible lead hero.
This is not my cup of tea, but I'm sure some of you will enjoy it :) -
Matthew Vaughn (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS) wants to do another super hero film. Entitled
THE GOLDEN AGE the film will focus on a retirement facility for superheroes past their prime who are trying to help their grandchildren after their parents have turned the world into chaos. Now, here's the crazy part: Vaughn wants
Clint Eastwood,
Jack Nicholson and
Warren Beatty in the three lead roles.
Sam Raimi has found his two lead stars for
OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL the film which will describe the origin of Oz and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, Evanorah, the Wicked Witch of the East, and her sister, Theodorah, the Wicked Witch of the West. Since there are obviously no other young actors but him in Hollywood these days,
James Franco will play Oz instead of Robert Downey Jr who was kicked out of the project, while
Mila Kunis will play The Wicked Witch of the West.
