Hey everyone, thanks for checking back with clevver movies, Im Tatiana carrier and Ive got the latest on the lone ranger! As you know from our recent reports, Disney has shut down The Lone Ranger due to the projected 250 million dollar budget. I mean, I get it, 250 million seems a bit high for a cowboy flick, but I think the big argument here is, Director Gore Verbiniski along with Johnny Depp to star should be a bulletproof project, so why pull the plug on such a potential blockbuster? According to the Hollywood Reporter though, the movie would have to make over 800 million in the box office to even come close to covering marketing costs and all the other expenses when releasing a movie. So now what? Well, verbinski is starting to shave down the budget in hopes to still make the flick. For starters, he has reduced Producer Jerry Bruckheimers fees by 10 million...still not enough of a cut considering Disney was looking to spend 215 million max. so most likely verbinski will also have to make some re-wrties to the script to make more headway in cutting the budget down a bit. So at this point, theres really no telling whether or not the movie will ever get made, but atleast we know there are efforts in the works and we can remain slightly hopeful! What do you guys think about the original 250 million dollar budget? Do you think its outrageous or necessary?
