Verbinksi had set a budget of 250 million dollars for his western film in which the producers thought was extreme and started looking for another director that will stick to their budget of 200 million only.If it wasn't for Johnny Depp that insisted on working with his "Pirate" and "Ringo" buddy that they finally reached a budget of 215 million and will start shooting in New Mexico today."Tonto" the western hero was a character that Depp wanted to play for years and he is now thrilled to finally start shooting the film which is adopted from the hit western series. Co-starring Depp are Helena Bonham Carter, William Fisher and Tom Wilkinson and the film is set to be released on 13 May 2013.
