No more THE LONG RANGER because Disney has just decided to pull the plug due to budgetary concerns. A source said it is because the film is a WESTERN. Are you kidding me, Disney?

Me neither. I was a bit excited for this too, oh well. Not a big loss.

How the hell does a western cost $200m, let alone $250m? I would've shut that shit down too.

Verbinski and his inflated budgets. This is the same reason he stepped down as director of Bioshock.

Wow, that sucks. 200-250 million is really steep though.

It probably would have made a billion anyway.

Idk. That type of story doesn't have an international appeal. The whole idea of making this a big-budget movie seems a tad silly to me anyways. I don't see the appeal.
