According to an old thread, there is a Lone Ranger movie brewing. According to the Lone Ranger fan site, "the script for the movie is in development. No one has been cast for the parts. A filming date has not been set and there is no date yet for it to reach theaters."
The good news is, initial reports about Tonto being a woman are false.
Other news:
"The movie now has a director, Jonathan Mostow, who directed Terminator 3 and U-571. The script is currently being re-written by screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis, who has writing credits for X-Men, Alexander, Laura Croft: Tomb Raider and Scream 3.
As far as a release date goes, "the new Lone Ranger movie has been postponed to either 2008 to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the radio program or to 2009 for the 60th anniversary of the television program."
The Internet Movie Database doesn't have anything up about it yet.
As long as they keep Klinton Spillsbury out of it.
As long as it doesn't turn out to be Brokeback Lone Ranger.
But will he be "light in the moccasins"?

Don't you mean "light in the loincloth?"
Please don't let Ben Affleck play the Lone Ranger.
I doubt the PC-crowd will allow the name "Tonto" to be used. I don't know if that is an Indian (sorry, "Native American") word or not, but it means "fool" in Spanish.
Hollywierd will probably cast a chick as the Lone Ranger or lets say it wouldn't surprise me
My vote is for Mel Gibson for the masked man.
