Super producer Jerry Bruckheimer has spoken about some of the highly anticipated films he has in varying stages of production: On Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and National Treasure 3 he said:  "We've sat with the writers and we're working up the story and plotlines right now. They're in the process of finishing 'The Lone Ranger' so they're working on both of those simultaneously, same set of writers, Elliot and Rossio, who did all three 'Pirates' and worked on 'National Treasure (2)'." He also took the time to shoot down rumours that George Clooney would be playing The Lone Ranger: "we haven't decided who is going to play the Lone Ranger yet. Get a director first and then figure it out." Johnny Depp is already attached to play Tonto.
