Now, I was a huge fan of the first, fun PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN film, THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL. The others? Well, the less about those the better. Still, they put butts on seats and that success saw Disney put a whole lot of faith (and a whole chunk of change) in directer Gore Verbinski for a big-budget adaptation of western icon, THE LONE RANGER. Despite many believing the western is a dying genre.
Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer play Native American sidekick Tonto and the heroic title character respectively. The duo lead an impressive supporting cast, which includes Tom Wilkinson, Ruth Wilson, William Fichtner, James Badge Dale and THN fave Barry Pepper.
Check out the latest international trailer and poster from the action-adventure slated for US cinemas from the US on the 3rd July and the UK from the 9th August. Hi ho Silver!

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
