Brucks does Ranger?

Now that Jerry “The Brucks” Bruckheimer is done turning a Disney theme park ride into one of the most successful film franchises in history, he’s setting his sights on turning the iconic “Lone Ranger” into a billion-dollar mainstream cinematic franchise and he’s apparently re-teaming with PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN scribes Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio to do so. According to an article in Variety remarking on Elliot and Rossio’s newfound ability to buy a small country “Beyond another “Pirates” project, word has it that the scribes might be doing a take on the Lone Ranger saga for Bruckheimer.” If anybody can mold a mask-wearing, horseback riding cowboy and his trusty Indian sidekick into an explosion-laced, action-packed, mindless moneymaking machine, it’s The Brucks.
