Time to don your tight Cowboy unitards and Indian-fringed pajamas, children, because the Lone Ranger is back in town.

“Writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio are going from “shiver me timbers!” to “Hi-ho Silver!”

The writing duo, best known for their work on the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, are in final negotiations to write a live-action big-screen adaptation of “The Lone Ranger” for Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

The hero’s origin story begins with a group of Texas Rangers chasing down a gang of outlaws led by Butch Cavendish. The gang ambushes the Rangers, seemingly killing them all. One survivor is found, however, by an American Indian named Tonto, who nurses him back to health. The Ranger, donning a mask and riding a white stallion named Silver, teams up with Tonto to bring the unscrupulous gang and others of that ilk to justice.

Bruckheimer is producing “Ranger,” and Bruckheimer Films’ Mike Stenson and Chad Oman are executive producing. Jason Reed is overseeing at Disney.”

We have a crisp five dollar bill that says the role of Tonto goes to Adam Beach.

Oh I so want on this project, not the film for f***ing Disney, but for the revisionist twaddle that with spew forth from this Bruckheimer product and of course from the “Pirates” writers. Gawd this is going to be interesting.
