Reuniting following the massive success of the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN franchise, Walt Disney Pictures, powerhouse producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski and lead Johnny Depp, all collaborate in the rebooted adventure of western icon, THE LONE RANGER. Depp’s Native American sidekick Tonto is the man who brings back lawman John Reid from the brink of death, and reinvents him as the masked avenging title character, played by Armie Hammer.
Joining them 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. THE LONE RANGER is slated for US cinemas in the US on the 3rd July and the UK from the 9th August. Check out these brand new clips and features just below the official plot 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.
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.
