Depp as Tonto, Disney gets their man over and over again
Posted September 25, 2008 at 5:41 PM By John Couture
When I got to work this morning, I knew something big was afoot. All the women were swooning and had that look of ravenous hunger in their eyes. I knew that look wasn't reserved for me, so I fired up my web browser and quickly figured out what had set all the hearts of the lady-folk in my building aflutter.
It didn't take long to find the answer.
Disney announced that Johnny Depp (http://videoeta.com/person/238) had been tapped to play Tonto in the live-action movie The Lone Ranger (http://videoeta.com/movie/104478). The origin story focuses on Tonto's rescue of The Lone Ranger (http://videoeta.com/movie/104478) and their beginnings as riders of vigilante justice in the Wild West.
Johnny Depp (http://videoeta.com/person/238) without his shirt on. Yep, that was the reason for all the buzz around the water-cooler this morning. But, Disney wasn't done.
They also announced that Depp (http://videoeta.com/person/238) would officially be back as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 4 (http://videoeta.com/movie/96962). The early in development movie is said to focus primarily on Captain Jack as he goes off on his next big adventure.
And if that weren't enough Johnny Depp (http://videoeta.com/person/238) news for one day, Disney also confirmed that the actor would be portraying the Mad Hatter for his buddy Tim Burton (http://videoeta.com/person/772) in his rendition of Alice in Wonderland (http://videoeta.com/movie/103362). The director will not only bring his trademark dark visual style to the film, but he plans to combine performance-capture imagery (think Beowulf (http://videoeta.com/movie/85787)) and live action.
Wow, all this news from Disney concerning arguably their most coveted leading man makes me all misty-eyed for the Golden Age of Hollywood when actors were under contract with individual studios. I'm sure that all of these Johnny Depp (http://videoeta.com/person/238)/Disney deals aren't a precursor for the past to repeat itself, but it is an interesting reflection of a simpler time.
Who do you think should play The Lone Ranger (http://videoeta.com/contact.html)? Also, what do you think of Disney's strategy to lock up one of the mose talented actors working today? Let us know (http://videoeta.com/contact.html).
