And we thought we won't be able to see this picture much less the movie. Troubled by rumored escalating costs ($250 million and counting supposedly), Walt Disney Pictures had second thoughts about making the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced, Gore Verbinski-directed, Johnny Depp-starred "The Lone Ranger."

First, Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer were all set to star as Tonto and the Lone Ranger, respectively, for Disney's big screen version of the iconic TV western. Then...it was scrapped.

Sure, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" opened big, very big, and was even a record-holder internationally with $256.3 million beating 2009's "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" which earned $236 million.

Last month, we told you that "The Social Network's" Armie Hammer, the face of the Winklevoss Twins, was in early talks to star opposite Johnny Depp in the planned big screen version of "The Lone Ranger."

Back in October of last year, we told you that Johnny Depp was collaborating with Rob Marshall to develop a remake of the private eye classic "The Thin Man " for Warner Bros.

Last week, we told you that Ryan Gosling was in talks to co-star in Disney's big screen adaptation of "The Lone Ranger" opposite Johnny Depp's Tonto.

Once upon a time, Ryan Gosling was part of the Disney stable. He was a Mouseketeer alongside Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Now, the Oscar-nominated actor may return to the House of Mouse in the studio's "The Lone Ranger" according to TheWrap.
