Of the report posted on its Twitter page Thursday, April 30, Production Weekly wrote, "Mike Newell is in talks to direct Terry Rossio & Ted Elliott's big screen adaptation of "The Lone Ranger" at Disney." If Newell is indeed joining the production team of the action adventure movie, the "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" director will once again team up with his "Donnie Brasco" star Johnny Depp, who is set to star as Tonto.
