Despite a notoriously trouble shoot and budgetary disagreements (supposedly $250 million!), Walt Disney Pictures still has high hopes for their big-screen reboot of classic western icon, THE LONE RANGER. Many see the ‘western’ as a dying genre but I can watch cowboys and indians go at it all day in the Wild West. Armie Hammer takes the mythic-like title role as John Reid, a lawman brought back from the edge of death by mysterious Native American, Tonto, played by superstar Johnny Depp, who helps transform him into the heroic masked vigilante.
The film co-stars William Fichtner, Tom Wilkinson, Helena Bonham Carter and THN fave Barry Pepper, and is directed by PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN’s Gore Verbinski. It’s released in the US on the 3rd July and the UK on the 9th August. Check out these latest character posters in alternative UK and US designs.
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.
