Hi-Yo Silver, Away! One more time, that masked man will ride again. Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have enlisted writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio for a
big screen remake of The Lone Ranger. A live action, hoot-hollering, hero on a horseback western epic, if
Bruckheimer follows his pattern of doing things big and bold.
Ted and Terry are the same writers that helped bring
Pirates of the Caribbean to the movie theaters in three box office bonanzas. And with
Pirates, there was a lot less source material.
Pirates of the Caribbean was just a ride at Disneyland (and Disney World).
The Lone Ranger could be called the Long Ranger with its rich history in radio, TV and written word.

NCIS. So, then, it shouldn't come as a surprise that
CSI is expanding. No, there's not a new
CSI TV show happening, but there is an amusement park variation on
CSI coming to life at Magic Mountain, the Valencia, California tourist attraction. (By the way, isn't it nice that Valencia didn't get nuked for real like it did on
24 last season?)

Nobody would ever confuse Rufus Sewell for Patrick Stewart (
Star Trek: The Next Generation), right? Well, super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer
has chosen Sewell for the lead in the $4 million pilot of the British drama series
Eleventh Hour. Presumably, Rufus will be playing the same role Patrick played, that is Professor Ian Hood, Special Advisor to the government's Joint Sciences Committee, enlisted to tackle all kinds of dangerous threats stemming from science gone awry.
