    OMFG!!!!!!!!!!! Noooooooooooooooo!!!
    I realize that nothing is sacred in Hollywood anymore, but for cripes sake, is it impossible to cast an actual native american as Tonto???
    And George Clooney in a western???? GMAFB!!!!! Have Depp play the ranger…or someone else that is better suited to the part.

    Depp is part Cherokee, so it’s not completely out of left field for him to be cast as Tonto.

    Well we now have some idea of the story line. I can’t imagine JD as Tonto but he will do a terrific job as usual. Please not George Clooney as the Lone Ranger.
