It’s Hell On Wheels In New ‘Lone Ranger’ Featurette

Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer will roll out their reboot of western icon THE LONE RANGER in the US tomorrow (although we the UK must wait until 9th August) and they’ll be hoping for the same massive successful results that their PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN franchise brought. Time will time if the $250 million they spent on what many see as a dying genre was worth it, but being a huge western fan I’m extremely excited to finally see a genre effort back on the big-screen.

Check out this brand new featurette from the film with the following official synopsis.

From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” 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.

Joining both Depp and Hammer in the big-budget actioner is an impressive supporting cast that includes Tom Wilkinson, Ruth Wilson, William Fichtner, James Badge Dale and THN fave, Barry Pepper.

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.
