Tonto (Johnny Depp) and the Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer)
Jerry Bruckheimer, Gore Verbinski‘s The Lone Ranger (2013) - Johnny Depp as the Native American spirit warrior Tonto in directors’ Bruckheimer and Verbinski’s film version of the 1949 classic television series The Lone Ranger is finally making it way to a theater near you after many production delays and budget woes (the film currently has a 200+ million budget). In the thrilling adventure, Tonto will “recount the untold tales” of John Reid (Armie Hammer) and the events that transformed an honest law man into a legend of justice–the Lone Ranger. The film is set for release July 3, 2013.
Nearly a decade has passed since Bruckheimer’s Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl film hit theaters. Verbinski, no longer part of the Pirate’s franchise reunites with Bruckheimer to bring us what appears to be adrenaline filled feature complete with trains and horses. We can only catch a faint glimpse of Depp as Tonto–but it appears that he somewhat rescued an injured John Reid (Hammer).
The Lone Ranger is a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.
In the first OFFICIAL trailer for the film, we also see both Depp as Tonto; and Hammer as the masked legend The Lone Ranger on horseback, a few explosions in all it’s high-powered cinematic glory. You will also see the amazing and versatile actress Helena Bonham Carter (Fight Club, Sweeney Todd) although it isn’t clear yet what her role will be in the film. That’s enough–I already said too much.

I gotta say, I’m not bought into this movie yet…and I want to be. I’m more interested in it because of the friends I have that are working on the set and filming rather than Depp or Hammer or the story itself. It is being filmed about 200miles north of where I live. Looking forward to it for that reason alone currently.
perhaps that will change, but I don’t think so. meh, what can ya do?

I agree. I am a little concerned that it will be a Western spin off of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. The more we see–and you know they will saturate media with trailers, images, and interviews. I think what gave it away or hinted at just another POC–the music. Cannot escape the familiarity of the music they use is similar of all the trailers.

Just because of who is involved, it feels like POC. Especially Depp. I fear Tonto becoming Jack Sparrow and the movie being more about him than it should. Like POC.
