THE LONE RANGER: WE MISS JAY SILVERHEELS ALREADY

#theloneranger #janetcharlton

We admit we have mixed feelings about the new Lone Ranger movie starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. First of all, it’s produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and that means nonstop mind-bending action. Originally Johnny was asked to play the Lone Ranger and that suited us fine. But he insisted on playing Tonto and that’s where we have a problem. We’d love to see a real Native American play the handsome Tonto – those moccasins are hard to fill. Johnny looks like he might be hamming it up. When it comes out next summer, we’ll see for sure… (Above, original actors Clayton Moore and sexy Jay Silverheels )

George Clooney Jay Silverheels Johnny Depp The Lone Ranger Tonto

JOHNNY DEPP IS TONTO, BUT WHO WILL PLAY THE LONE RANGER?

Ever since we heard that Johnny Depp is playing Tonto in Jerry Bruckheimer’s 2012 version of “The Lone Ranger,” we confess we’ve been drooling at the prospect. We thought no one could ever fill the moccasins of Jay Silverheels – our childhood crush – but Johnny is as good as it gets. Depp, you’ll recall, has a Cherokee grandmother, and both he and Jay were from Canada. This certainly increases the importance of the loyal kemo-sabe, leaving one to wonder who will be cast as The Lone Ranger. George Clooney was under consideration a few years ago, but considering the necessary athleticism, seems unlikely. Any ideas?
