The Lone Ranger (2013)

OK, so who is looking forward to this? Johnny Depp and Verbinski re-team which was cancelled and then relit on a low budget.

Depp to Larry King:

What I like about Tonto is the idea that this character who is thought of as ‘the sidekick’—that’s the thing that always bugged me about The Lone Ranger is ‘Well why is the Indian the sidekick? Why does he have to go get you that thing?’ And I couldn’t stand that always. My approach to Tonto is that there’s this crazy like a fox stoicism to Tonto that Tonto probably believes that The Lone Ranger is his slave, his sidekick. So it’s like ‘Go get me the thing,’ ‘No, no, no you go get it. You’re the one dressed in the funny outfit, you go do it.’

I'm not a huge Depp fan, and didn't like the Pirates films (seen 1-3) so I'm currently on the fence.

I know that previously had an outrageously high budget (250mil...?) which was supposed to be cut to "only" ridiculously high budget. (200mil...?). It's what I heard, no links available.

I rememeber reading the comics from time to time. No interest in the movie at all.
