Whether a funny or serious storyline, Bruce Campbell would be great.

I won't comment on the native American part, but I can see him talk like that. His speech as Captain Jack in Pirates of the Carribean wasn't much better"...The agony of my soul found vent in one loud, long and final scream of despair..." - Edgar Allan PoeComment

Sorry...that was a HORRIBLE movie.
The dude couldn't shoot until he was given silver bullets???
And the climatic scene ends with a fistfight???
Terrible flick.

Lone Ranger and Tonto are such big icons ... the only way I feel that they could get it to work is to cast new actors that haven't made it big, who are very close to Moore and Silverheels.
Depp is a good actor ... but I have my doubts ... strong doubtsComment

I'm not going to defend it, it is BAD, overall. But it didn't have to be. It had several good elements going for it, it just didn't get there. There's good work done in that movie, but without a strong lead, it goes all to hell. And the hokey things you mentioned don't help,although those aren't any worse than some of the hokey elements of contemporary movies like Superman II (like Super-Cellophane for instance). I think I appreciate the attempt and the scope. It's a bad movie I just kind of like, despite it's failings.

I love Depp, but would prefer someone more "authentic" looking.
If they DO pick him, I want Will Smith as The Lone Ranger.
Keanu Reeves and Hugh Grant (combined) as Silver: Keanu the front part ("Woaw, I'm a horse, dude"), and Hugh as the rear end, which shouldn't be a great stretch.
Man, this movie has so much star potential.....

When I was growing up I remember seeing loads of "classic" westerns where the Native people were portrayed by white people painted red and talking in broken English. Mostly saying inaccurate and cringe worthy stuff like "ugh" and "how".You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

This doesn't seem like the type of role Depp would take so I suspect that they threw a lot of money at him to film the Pirates of the Carribean sequel and put a clause in his contract that he had to do a few more Disney movies.
I actually like the creepy roles that he takes in most movies. That's why I think he could be an excellent Riddler for the next Batman movie."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."
