Tonto rides again

Disney Productions will release a movie next year with Johnny Depp as its costar. Depp will not be a pirate, far from it. Depp will portray Tonto, the sidekick of the Lone Ranger.

The film is currently being filmed in New Mexico and chances are the American Indians in the southwestern state aren't sure whether they should laugh, cry or cheer. If Depp, gets into the role, it'll be "Hi, Ho Silver" all the way to the box office. Or, should I say, "Hi, Ho Gold."
