The new Lone Ranger movie will be arriving in theatres on 9 August 2013, and this week Disney has released a new trailer for the movie, showing a little more about the storyline and characters.
The Lone Ranger stars Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as man of the law John Reid, together with Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, and James Badge Dale, to name just a few. Watch the trailer after the jump to see them in action.
“Lone Ranger: 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.”
The Lone Ranger has been produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
The Cast and Characters
Johnny Depp, known for his versatile acting skills, brings a unique flair to the character of Tonto, a Native American spirit warrior. Depp’s portrayal is expected to add depth and humor to the film, much like his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow. Armie Hammer, who plays John Reid, is a man of the law who transforms into the legendary Lone Ranger. Hammer’s previous roles in films like “The Social Network” and “Mirror Mirror” have showcased his ability to handle complex characters, making him a fitting choice for this role.
The supporting cast includes Tom Wilkinson, who plays a powerful and corrupt railroad tycoon. Wilkinson’s extensive filmography includes roles in “Batman Begins” and “Michael Clayton,” where he has consistently delivered compelling performances. William Fichtner, known for his roles in “The Dark Knight” and “Black Hawk Down,” plays the film’s main antagonist, Butch Cavendish. Barry Pepper and James Badge Dale also bring their talents to the film, adding further depth to the ensemble cast.
Behind the Scenes
The film’s production team is led by Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski, who have previously collaborated on the highly successful Pirates of the Caribbean series. Bruckheimer’s knack for producing blockbuster hits and Verbinski’s unique directorial style promise to bring a fresh and exciting take on the classic Western genre. The film’s screenplay has been penned by Justin Haythe, Ted Elliott, and Terry Rossio, who have a track record of creating engaging and memorable stories.
The Lone Ranger’s production faced several challenges, including budget constraints and delays. However, the team managed to overcome these obstacles, resulting in a film that promises to be both visually stunning and narratively compelling. The movie’s cinematography, handled by Bojan Bazelli, captures the vast and rugged landscapes of the American West, adding an authentic feel to the film.
The new trailer offers a glimpse into the film’s action-packed sequences and the dynamic between Tonto and John Reid. The chemistry between Depp and Hammer is evident, and their performances are expected to be a highlight of the film. The trailer also hints at the film’s blend of humor and drama, promising an entertaining experience for audiences.
The Lone Ranger aims to revive the classic Western genre while introducing it to a new generation of viewers. With its star-studded cast, experienced production team, and engaging storyline, the film is poised to be a summer blockbuster.
