This big-budget project from PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN director Gore Verbinski has been plagued by problems since the film was first announced. We’ve had delays in production, the budget slashed, on-set clashes, the sad death of a stuntman and word that Disney are expecting a disaster of JOHN CARTER proportions. Although this is based on an American pop culture icon, albeit a very old fashioned one, I’ve a feeling today’s audiences are not keen on the ‘western’ genre anymore, even one with a top cast and more action-orientated than usual.
Having said that, for those eager for an official glimpse into THE LONE RANGER, we’ve a host of new production stills and the new poster:
THE LONE RANGER will star Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Helena Bonham Carter, Barry Pepper and Ruth Wilson and opens on August 9th 2013.
