"The Lone Ranger" Might Be Back In The Saddle

It seems that Disney is close to green-lighting "The Lone Ranger" once again after halting the production due to budge concerns.

It took some doing. In order to cut costs -- there was talk the movie would cost more than $250 million -- the script, which apparently contained supernatural elements, had to be reworked. Some of the principals also had to cut their fees.

Even with the cuts, it's an expensive film. TheWrap has learned its budget is still above $200 million.

We will eventually see if this was worthwhile.
