‘The Lone Ranger’ has a Ballooning Budget
Gore Verbinski's 'The Lone Ranger' is a film that almost wasn't. For a while - even with the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' director re-teaming with Johnny Depp for a franchise - it was deemed too expensive for Disney, and so they had to scale it back to get it to a $215 Million dollar budget. Now it appears that the film has fallen behind schedule and the budget has grown to $250 Million.
