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.

Our buddies over at
Cinematical are all a-buzz over the possibility that the ABC drama,
Lost, will culminate with a movie. Executive producer Damon Lindeloff is talking up the idea of bringing the series to a close with a big screen finale. He would like to do five seasons and then a movie, partly to keep the network from making him drag the show on and on for years. It's hard to argue with his reasoning. We've all seen what happens when good shows outstay their welcome (
The X-Files,
Desperate Housewives - ha!).
With all the complicated storylines and themes, I'd say that's a movie that will confound anyone who hasn't watched the series. And, should it only be for fans of the television show? Movies like
The X-Files: Fight the Future and
Serenity were dumbed down a bit in order to woo a broader audience. Is that even possible with something like
Lost?
