London: Johnny Depp's axed movie The Lone Ranger is back on the track after Disney bosses made adjustments to the massive budget.

"We knew that the budget was going to be huge initially, and we also knew that it was going to be shut down for a while, and it was kind of like we patiently wait -- we shave a little bit here, we do a little bit there, (and) they fix it," he said.
