Johnny Depp movie could be filmed in southern Colorado's Creede
The tiny southern Colorado hamlet of Creede - known for its rich mining history and being full of Texans in the summer and almost empty in winter - could soon have a new feather in its cap. And Johnny Depp too.
The Pueblo Chieftain reports that a Disney remake of "The Lone Ranger," starring Depp, has opened a casting call for extras in Creede.

CREEDE — A Disney remake of "The Lone Ranger" starring Johnny Depp may find part of its backdrop in this historic mining town.
While production officials have made no promises that they will come to town for filming, a Los Angeles-based casting company has opened a call for extras to be used in possible shots in Creede.
Marry Hoffman, a member of the Southern Colorado Film Commission, said her group is keeping its fingers crossed, adding that shooting may spread across the San Luis Valley.
"Right now we do have five scenes that are expected to be filmed in the valley," she said.
She declined to comment on where those other locations might be out of fear the public might overwhelm the production.
