An Admirers' Site Dedicated to Johnny Depp and His Work
When Disney briefly shut down the Johnny Depp western The Lone Ranger in August amid concerns about a budget that had ballooned to $250 million, the principals — including Depp, director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer — agreed to cut action sequences and their own upfront fees to bring the cost down to about $215 million. Well, don’t look now, but Lone Ranger is riding headlong into budget trouble again.

With Comic-Con a month away, Hollywood is firming up plans to haul its geek-friendly film fare to San Diego – though Paramount and 20th Century Fox have joined Relativity Media, DreamWorks and DreamWorks Animation in skipping the Hall H panels this year, with Universal still up in the air.
Disney and Marvel will return, however, after sitting out Comic-Con last year in favor of the Mouse House’s own D23 fanfest. Having tubthumped “Iron Man” and “The Avengers” at Cons past, a look at “Iron Man 3,” which only recently began production, is firmly expected during the confab, which runs July 12-15. Disney is also sure to showcase toon “Wreck-It Ralph” and “Oz: The Great and Powerful,” and possibly a presentation on “The Lone Ranger.”

CREEDE – The Lone Ranger is getting the big screen big budget overhaul from power producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
And folks in the southwestern Colorado town of Creede couldn’t be happier. But while Hollywood may be new to the town, the arts are not.
“We got the Governor’s Art Award 2010 for the “Best Art Community in Colorado,” Mayor Eric Grossman said.
Not only does the movie put the mining town on the map, but many hope the entire state as well.
“Everybody around the world will see this movie,” Colorado Film Commissioner Donald Zuckerman said. “These movies in the past have done a million dollars at the box office.”
The film stars Armie Hammer Helena Bonam Carter and Johnny Depp. The movie is set to open July 3, 2013.

The narrow canyon north of town that was once home to thousands of men looking for the next big silver strike still has plenty of hustle and bustle.
But more than a century later, the hundreds of carpenters, craftsmen and other workers who’ve labored beneath the towering rock walls are looking to help Walt Disney Studios and “The Lone Ranger” strike it rich on the silver screen.
After 11 weeks of set construction, the film’s cast, which includes Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer and others, is expected to begin shooting here this week.
But curiosity seekers won’t have much of a chance to see any of the big names.
The “Dark Shadows” actor was set to pick up the honor at the Council of Fashion Designers of America event in New York City Monday.
Johnny Depp will not be attending tonight’s CFDA Awards in New York City — the Oscars of fashion, as it’s known. He’s being honored with the Icon Award, but we hear he made a video instead. And John Waters will pick up the award for him. Waters, if you recall directed Depp in Cry Baby.

“Steven just spit out one of my teeth,” explained Depp. “I’ll put it back in later. I gotta thank MTV for this—it’s quite an amazing honor. It’s like the Get Out of the Business Award, basically—it’s like, OK you’ve done too much. And clearly, based on the clips, there’s obviously something wrong with me. I just want to thank you very much. It’s an honor to be presented by these two legends and these two up and coming legends.”
