The Lone Ranger
Having almost been prematurely cancelled due to budgetary concerns and production issues, “The Lone Ranger” still ended up being a disaster. Originally, the story’s tone was inspired by “The Mask of Zorro” and had Tonto as a female love-interest. Script rewrites then had Johnny Depp cast as the Comanche side-kick which fueled controversy over the white-washing of a Native American character. The film was also plagued by on-set disasters such as a chickenpox outbreak and the death of a crew member.
