George Clooney as the Lone Ranger?

This is a rumor that I almost didn't even bother writing about, but if Johnny Depp can be Tonto and Russell Crowe can play two roles in the same movie, then I guess nothing is too ridiculous to consider.

Yes, George Clooney has thrown his hat in the ring to played the masked cowboy. Remember, this comes from the boys over at Ain't It Cool News, which is only slightly more credible than The Sun. Either way, I love westerns so much that I don't think I would be disappointed if this ended up being true and we saw George saddle up next to Depp on his trusty horse, Silver. And this movie is so far from release (at least a year, if not more) that it's off my radar until we hear some more about it. Until then, keep checking back.
