Deadline is reporting that Gore Verbinski may next direct The Lone Ranger for Disney. The project would be Verbinski’s first live-action project since 2007’s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and would re-unite him with Johnny Depp (who will play Tonto in the film) and producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
Verbinski’s next project is the 2011 CG-animated Rango, which featured Depp as the voice of the lead character.
