Who is being casted...
But of course, Johnny Depp.

In fact, Johnny Depp will also be reprising his role as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 4 (why not...the money is surely there)
Apparently the news broke at a Disney event today at the Kodak theater. And I'm sure hearing the news people were excited...it's sure to have a lot of energy to it...Bruckheimer & Depp working together in a project sure to have a huge budget, lots of marketing, and plenty of product tie-ins (McDonald's Toys, Candy, Halloween Costumes, etc.)

UPDATE: Depp is not playing the Lone Ranger, he's playing TONTO. See the correction post here.

It's a good point. Of course there's more money in the wacky roles, but does Depp really need the money? I loved him in Finding Neverland, and I'd love to se him do that more.
Finding Neverland is one of the best movies ever on the creative process.
The link says that there is a correction, Depp has been cast as Tonto, not the Lone Ranger himself. That almost seems more fitting. I love Johnny Depp, but I think the Lone Ranger himself needs to played by a more masculine actor.
Goldangit, I was hoping he had found a niche with Public Enemies next year, but now he's back to the silliness.
I can see him as the mad hatter, but Tonto?
I wish Terry Gilliam was directing The Lone Ranger.
