I admit I'm a crazy person.

So this morning it occured to me to wonder, with this rash of remakes and superhero movies, if Lone Ranger or Zorro would be rebooted ( Read more... )

knitting, fandumb, that's just gay

Hi my name is Vyc and I approve of this message a hundred fucking percent.

..... I approve of this idea A+++ (big surprise there, I know) and would totally pay BIG MONIES to see this in theatres in any and every format they care to show it it. BIG MONIES.

(Yeah, they did Zorro with Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones some years back. It was pretty great. There might have also been a sequel but I'm not entirely sure, so maybe not)

There was a sequel, it was not AT ALL as good as the original movie imo.

That movie? I would watch it SO VERY FAST.

Note that, yes, the Lone Ranger is supposed to be the great-great-great-grandfather of the Green Hornet (original: Britt Reid, current: Britt Reid, Jr., aka Seth Rogan's character).

I'm not sure how much you know about the original show, but it was where Bruce Lee got his major start -- to the point where it was 'The Kato Show' in Hong Kong. So, here's an image sure to make you snicker:

I like the way your brain works. I would TOTALLY pay to see either female!Ranger + male!Tonto OR female!Ranger + female!Tonto... with or without backstory (did the Ranger actually have any backstory? I am okay with old-fashioned "one-sentence origins" the way Caped Crusaders used to have), and preferably without a Dramatic Chest Wound Sex Reveal; maybe it could just be hinted at. (Nice, scenic shot of the Ranger silhouetted against the red setting sun; outline behind a waterfall?)

in my head you just see the shooting and then she and Tonto kind of talk around it, possibly the villain dude thinks she's her brother at first and then is like .... wait. No actual reveal except to the audience. I guess she could have a bath scene? Humorous.

fer_de_lance January 27 2011, 03:37:11 UTC

Hmm... "Bath scene" is kind of what I was thinking with the waterfall idea. :D But I think it would be super awesome if it weren't played as humourous, just matter-of-fact, and never actually mentioned/addressed by the characters!

Clearly I need to go get a film degree and then make this movie! It's gone too far when I'm blocking scenes in my head and I don't even own a video camera, much less the character rights and Mr. Depp's contract...

(Also, yay! for Tonto!Depp. That will be awesome.) :D

lazulisong January 27 2011, 03:40:08 UTC

no, I mean the bath scene would be humorous, not the treatment. Like. Everybody sees someone dressed in dude's clothes and short hair, and they're like, Oh, okay, it must be a dude.
