Lone Ranger grinds to halt

WALT DISNEY STUDIOS’ much-anticipated big-screen adaptation of The Lone Ranger, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer has been shut down.

Those involved in the project are figuring out their next steps, and it’s possible filming could resume, said a source, who could not speak publicly about the discussions and requested anonymity.

Deadline Hollywood, an entertainment industry news website, cited difficulties with reducing the movie’s estimated $250 million (€175m) cost to $200m.
