Writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio are going from "shiver me timbers!" to "Hi-ho Silver!"

The writing duo, best known for their work on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, are in final negotiations to write a live-action big-screen adaptation of "The Lone Ranger" for Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

The project will be made by Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer Films in association with Entertainment Rights.

"Ranger," owned by Classic Media, began life as a 1930s radio show. Its popularity led to movie serials, TV shows, comic strips and comic books, toys, novels and more.

Yes, and it already led to a big-screen, big-budget Hollywood bomb in 1981. Does anybody even remember the name Klinton Spilsbury anymore? Klinton...who?

If this doesn't convince me to get a BD player, NOTHING will. (I'm being serious here!)
