15 Of The Most Ridiculous Films That Actors Should Be Ashamed Of
7. The Lone Ranger
The film, which starred Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, was made by the same team who produced the hit films in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.
Just a short few days before production was set to begin, Disney pulled the plug and sent everyone home. The company cited concerns over the increasing budget.
When one of the most profitable companies in human history is telling you your movie is too expensive, you know you’re spending too much money.
After reining in the budget, the filmmakers tried again. The resulting film was as long as it is boring – that is to say, it’s a very long film.
The film lost a huge amount of money at the box office and may have damaged Johnny Depp’s brand permanently. His next major film to be released, the 2014 movie “Transcendence,” was also a box office bomb.
It was reported in the press at the time that Disney may have lost as much as $100 million dollars on “The Lone Ranger” and possibly more. Thankfully they also put out those Marvel movies, which are definite money makers.
