It is kind of old news, by Twitter standards – it’s been pretty much digested already, but “sources” say Ryan Gosling might become the Lone Ranger to Johnny Depp’s Tonto, with Gore Verbinski directing. I don’t think there is anything Ryan Gosling can’t do but I guess my only question would be how to act opposite Depp and not totally disappear?
The Wrap has the story.
There was some grumbling on Twitter on the choice of Gosling. I’m not seeing where the problem lies. But I guess I’m not the target demo for this.
The Lone Ranger won’t be released until 2014. And in the meantime, we can enjoy Gosling in the upcoming Logan’s Run.¬† Because, you see, there is nothing new under the sun. And there’s certainly nothing new in Hollywood anymore. Audiences flock to this kind of stuff and there seems to be no encouragement to break new ground. The Oscar race is mostly the only profitable arm of the business anymore, and the independent scene, that encourages originality.
