CLOONEY AS 'THE LONE RANGER' ???

This could be cool... Very cool in fact. Earlier this week, The Mouse House announced that they signed none other than Johnny Depp to play Tonto in a big screen adaptation of "The Lone Ranger." But how do you equal or TOP that??

AICN's sources claim that George Clooney has shown mucho interest in the role.

So whaddaya think?? Clooney with dual six guns and silver bullets?? With Johnny Depp waxing poetic by his side? Could work ... And certainly better than Nic Cage who was once up for the role.
