《独行侠》1

Insiders close to the ongoing production of Gore Verbinski’s The Lone Ranger have told The Hollywood Reporter that the large-scale Western tentpole picture has exceeded its budget and is once again “up to a number [the studio] didn’t want.”

Verbinski began shooting his Lone Ranger on Feb. 28 in New Mexico. The film stars The Social Network and J. Edgar star Armie Hammer as the law-enforcing ranger of the title. The draw, though, is the presence of Johnny Depp as the Lone Ranger’s trusty sidekick, Tonto.

But the road through pre-production has been bumpy, to say the least. As we reported back in 2011, Walt Disney Studios and producer Jerry Bruckheimer had to push back their planned release date on Ranger because of budget issues. The studio, according to THR, wants to keep Verbinski in the ballpark of $215 million in production costs. The new THR article says Lone Ranger likely has surpassed the $250 million mark (though a studio rep calls that figure “inaccurate”).

There are other causes for concern. THR says that Verbinski — who directed three lucrative Pirates of the Caribbean movies for Disney with Depp in the lead — is “running days or possibly weeks behind [his] 120-day shooting schedule,” and that the filmmaker is now being asked by the studio to rewrite parts of the movie and cut scenes. One such sequence involving a train was scrubbed from an earlier version of the script. Insiders also say that unpredictable weather conditions have plagued the set and caused interruptions.

《独行侠》的拍摄工作在今年夏天遭遇超预算危机。面对整个项目2.5亿美元的巨额开支，迪士尼大佬一度暂定这个项目的运行。直到三位主创约翰尼·德普、制片人杰瑞·布鲁克海默和导演戈尔·维宾斯基团结一致，将预算调控至2.15亿美元之后，项目才得以继续进行。日前，制片人杰瑞·布鲁克海默在博客上用感性的笔触写就一篇“拍摄日志”，并附上多张片场照，与影迷分享。

《独行侠》已经连续拍摄了125天，超过原定120天的拍摄日程。相比后期来说，最烧钱的前期拍摄阶段已进入尾声。剧组成员每天都在和沙暴、干旱、暴风雨等极端恶劣天气搏斗，但是无论是主创还是技术人员，大家都尽力做到最好。这些片场照来自影片拍摄沿途的风景：包括新墨西哥州、犹他州、科罗拉多州和亚利桑那州等地。在制片阶段，导演戈尔·维宾斯基坚持重新搭建的铁路场景已经竣工，长达5公里的铁轨铺成环形，静静地躺在人烟罕至的沙漠。据悉，影片将于2013年7月3日北美公映。

影片的演员阵容包括约翰尼·德普、艾米·汉莫，露丝·威尔森，海伦娜·伯翰·卡特等人，汤姆·威尔金森将饰演反派。
