We have received word that Johnny Depp will be playing Tonto in the upcoming Lone Ranger movie. We get the scoop from Mr. Tapley at InContentiono:
It turns out Depp will be playing Tonto in “The Lone Ranger,” not the hero himself.
The news has broken out of the Kodak Theater during a Disney event this afternoon and is slowly trickling its way through the web.
Last night Tapley emailed me asking what I thought of Depp as the Lone Ranger. I mulled it over, considered the man and thought to myself “I wish he was Tonto.” Well this morning the news has been clarified, and Mr. Depp is in fact going to be playing the Lone Ranger’s sidekick.
Not sure yet who will be playing the masked rider. I think Aaron Eckhart may be a good choice – what about you guys?
