Johnny Depp as new Tonto renews familiar feelings for American Indians

SEATTLE Gyasi Ross grew up decades after the "Lone Ranger" aired on TV, but his friends would still call him "Tonto" when they teased him. "Everybody understands who Tonto is, even if we hadn't seen the show, and we understood it wasn't a good thing," said Ross, a member of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana who lives and has family in the Suquamish Tribe, outside Seattle. "Why else would you tease someone with that?"

New Tonto, familiar feelings for Native Americans

The making of a new "Lone Ranger" Disney movie and the announcement that Johnny Depp is playing sidekick Tonto have reawakened feelings about a character that has drawn much criticism over the years as being a Hollywood creation guilty of spreading stereotypes. The film is still in production, but Native American groups have been abuzz about it for months, with many sharing opinions online and in a national Native publication running an occasional series on the topic. "I think we'd all prefer that there would have been an Indian person as Tonto," said Tom Shortbull, president of Oglala Lakota College. "It's always disappointing when movies come out and there aren't Indian actors in the role of Indians." The casting choice partly revolves around the desire to cast big-name stars, said Marilyn Pourier, who works at Oglala Lakota College and has a son working in the film industry.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are reportedly taking some time out from their relationship

However the 26-year-old actress and the 49-year-old star have temporarily gone their separate ways, although a source maintains they were an item. The insider told website RadarOnline: Johnny and Amber were definitely involved. They definitely had chemistry carried over from the set. Amber quietly split from Tasya around the same time Johnny was secretly separated from Vanessa, so the timing was just right. They continued: They were hooking up for months - way before he publicly announced that he and Vanessa had split up. They did a really good job of keeping their relationship on the down low for a while, especially since many people assumed that Amber was only into girls. However, when Johnny announced that he and Vanessa had split, Amber didnt want to be labeled as a homewrecker. The source added: Amber has never wanted that sort of attention. She prides herself on being free-thinking and independent - not some homewrecker trying to sleep her way to the top. As soon as the media sta...

Hicks: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard cool off romance

Amber Heard reportedly "freaked out" over all the attention her new relationship with Johnny Depp has received and has told him she wants to cool things off. Uh ... sorry about that. Last month it was widely reported Heard broke up with her girlfriend, artist-photographer Tasya van Ree, only to hook up with her recently single "The Rum Diary" co-star. Which would make them, quite possibly, not a bad-looking couple. However, RadarOnline reports things have cooled down. So they got married?

Johnny Depp Cast in Wes Andersons Next Film -- Will He Get His Mojo Back?

There is little denying Johnny Depp's dominance at the box office in the children and teen markets. Whether he's cast as Captain Jack Sparrow in the big-budget Disney franchise "Pirates of the Caribbean" or as one of the iconic characters of youth literature in "Alice in Wonderland" or "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," film studios need do little more than open up their coffers and let the treasure sail in by the shipload. However, the three-time Academy Award-nominated actor's latest films for adults have cast off with little critical fanfare , only to capsize and sink into a sea of debt. This year's "Dark Shadows" captured a disappointing $77.4 million domestically and another $156.8 million worldwide. However, Warner Bros. shelled out a reported $150 million to make the film , plus the cost of an expensive marketing campaign. After splitting receipts with the theaters, the studio will be looking to finagle some sort of stre...
