Remember “The Lone Ranger”, the classic 1950’s live action television show that was also a 1930’s radio program? It’s coming back, but this time as a full-length feature film that will reprise the roles of a lone Texas Ranger and his sidekick, Tonto.  Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is set to team up with screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot to make this picture a reality.
Rossio and Elliot, for those not aware, are the writing duo behind the wildly popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” series. Disney is hoping that they can turn this treasured classic into a modern-day money making machine, and are banking on Rossio and Elliot to make cowboys and Indians as popular as they did pirates.
So far no one will officially confirm it, but several sources have assured that “The Lone Ranger” might soon be making his way onto the big screen.

Back in 1981, there was the big budget flop, “The Legend of the Lone Ranger”. The star, Klinton Spilsbury, was not much of an actor, so he was dubbed by James Keach. One of the cast members was John Hart who briefly took over the television role from Clayton Moore.
