The Lone Ranger Character Posters: Stubble And Facepaint In The Old WestDoes this tell us anything about The Lone Ranger we didn't know already? Nah. Like Pirates of the Caribbean before it, this movie will succeed only if it manages to make something surprising, comic and hugely entertaining out of a very thin premise.

The Lone Ranger International Trailer Keeps Focus on Johnny Depp, Exploding TrainsAs expected, this clip continues to keep a strong focus on Tonto, primarily because he’s being played by international superstar (and frequent Verbinski collaborator) Johnny Depp. The early shots seem to establish Tonto’s backstory, with Armie Hammer’s Lone Ranger character eventually taking center stage. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-03-13 16:03:52comments
The Lone Ranger Super Bowl Spot Finally Focuses On Its Title CharacterEven though it's right there in the title, it might surprise you to learn that The Lone Ranger is not, in fact, entirely about Johnny Depp's character Tonto. Depp is a bigger star than the guy playing the actual Lone Ranger, Armie Hammer, so you can't really blame them for focusing more of the marketing on Tonto...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-02-03 16:03:56comments

Jack White No Longer Scoring The Lone Ranger, Hans Zimmer Takes His PlaceJack White does have some experience working in the movie industry. In addition to giving permission for his songs to be used in a variety of films (the most recent being David O.

Armie Hammer Rises From The Dead In Lone Ranger TrailerThe big budgeted action-adventure from Disney stars Armie Hammer as the titular masked man, and features Johnny Depp as his Native American sidekick Tonto. With a frenzied collision of grand set pieces, train robberies, and glimpses of the movie's buzzed about action sequences, the first trailer had plenty of panache but little in the way of plot. Now the feature's second trailer gives us an introduction to the premise of a man meant to become a legend. And there's even more action on display. ...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-12-11 07:41:37comments

DreamWorks Animation Snatching Up Casper, Archie And He-ManWith a tradition of pumping out sequel after sequel, DreamWorks Animation is often accused of valuing commerce over artistry in their films, especially when compared to Pixar.

Lone Ranger Rides Into Budget Problems AgainYou might think massively budgeted misfires like John Carter and Battleship would have filmmakers wary of expensive pictures that require record-breaking box office to garner any profit.

The Lone Ranger Gets Pushed Back AgainThe Lone Ranger just can't seem to keep things on track. The project has had a notably bumpy ride through production so far, complete with production shut downs, budget queries, and adjustments to the shooting schedule. The movie was originally going to come on in December of this year and was pushed back to May 31, 2013. Now it looks like the film is on the move again, as it has been pushed back by about a month....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-05-31 15:40:24comments
Jack White To Score Disney's The Lone RangerThe more we learn about the upcoming Disney film The Lone Ranger, the more interesting the project seems to get.

Set Photo Reveals The Lone Ranger's Dusty TownYup, that's pretty much what your classic Old West town looks like, at least in the movies, though given its sparseness I can't help but think of the classic, slightly surreal Clint Eastwood western High Plains Drifter, in which the town is perched in a forbidding terrain that seems utterly uninhabitable...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-03-12 07:18:47comments
First Look At Johnny Depp And Armie Hammer In The Lone RangerIt looks like Depp is side-stepping the whole problem of being a white man playing a Native American by painting his face stark white with black stripes, making this feel more like the child of Edward Scissorhands and Captain Jack Sparrow on a trip to the Old West than anything resembling the old TV serial...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-03-08 08:24:57comments

William Fichtner Replacing Dwight Yoakam In The Lone RangerGore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger lost a big piece of the puzzle a couple days ago when it was announced that Dwight Yoakam would no longer be able to participate in the film.

Dwight Yoakam Drops Out Of Gore Verbinski's The Lone RangerDeadline does say that Yoakam was set to play one of the major bad guys, which is interesting. Right now, Tom Wilkinson’s still on tap to play Latham Cole, the film’s chief villain. We weren’t sure who Yoakam was scheduled to play. Could there be room for more than one adversary in Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio’s screenplay? Or was Yoakam just set to play a major component of Cole’s villainous squad? ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-02-20 09:04:38comments
James Frain Joins Disney's The Lone RangerJames Frain’s True Blood character Franklin Mott could probably be described as mentally unstable, to put it mildly. Sure, he came across as dark and alluring at first, as so many vampires do these days, but in the end, he proved to be as menacing as vampires were once more frequently portrayed, with a side of crazy for our entertainment. Since appearing in the HBO series, he’s gone on to take on a number of roles, including NBC’s short-lived superhero drama The Cape, and a part in Water For Elephants. ...by Kelly West | published: 2011-12-16 17:10:03comments
How The Lone Ranger Almost Blew $10 Million Through StupidityAt this point many of you, if not most of you, know about the troubles going on behind the scenes of The Lone Ranger these past few months. Back in August the production was shut down when Disney decided that they didn't want to spend $250 million making a western (which is totally reasonable thing) and had producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski and star Johnny Depp work on the movie to try and lower its costs....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-10-19 14:19:31comments

Johnny Depp, Gore Verbinski, Armie Hammer And Jerry Bruckheimer Took Pay Cuts For Lone RangerAfter being on the verge of destruction for over a month, Gore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, is finally ready to saddle up and go.

Johnny Depp's The Lone Ranger Finally Ready To Go Back Into ProductionOf course, everyone said that pirate movies were hard to sell back in 2003, when director Gore Verbinski and Depp made one of the best blockbusters in recent memory with the first Pirates of the Caribbean. That movie was expensive at $140 million, but still not quite this expensive. Despite all this skepticism I really am glad they're going forward with The Lone Ranger...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-10-12 07:28:55comments
Disney Getting Back In The Saddle With Johnny Depp's The Lone RangerThe new budget, according to the report, is closer to $215 million after deals for Depp, Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer were reworked.

Johnny Depp's The Lone Ranger May Live On At DisneyI still have no idea why a western would need a budget of $200 million, but then again I'm not a filmmaker/producer. The film does still have a stellar cast lined up, including the likes of Armie Hammer, Tom Wilkinson, Helena Bonham Carter, Dwight Yoakam, Barry Pepper and James Badge Dale, but this delay may affect the December 21, 2012 release date.

The Lone Ranger's Future To Be Determined This WeekendAs much as I like Gore Verbinski, I have to side with the studio on this one. Even with Depp attached to star $250 million is a lot of money, particularly when they also have John Carter and Oz: The Great And Powerful with budgets over $200 million. Hopefully they've managed to work something reasonable out and we'll get to see Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp roam the great plains sooner rather than later....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-09-02 16:28:17comments
Johnny Depp Tells Disney He Won't Make Lone Ranger Without Gore VerbinskiDepp told Disney that he will not do Lone Ranger without his Pirates of the Caribbean collaborator Gore Verbinski at the helm. The problem for Disney is that Verbinski had given them a budget number in the ballpark of $275 million to make the movie he sees in his head … and that figure (rightfully) caused the studio to pump the brakes. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-09-01 08:51:20comments

Werewolves: The Real Reason Disney Halted Johnny Depp's Lone Ranger MovieIt was entirely possible for this movie to be a lean, entertaining Western, a genre of movies that first came to exist because it was cheap to make; instead, producer Jerry Bruckheimer helped push for this to be yet another one of his expensive spectacles, and given that the fourth Pirates film is the only one of Bruckheimer's recent movies to be a hit, Disney rightly balked....by Katey Rich | published: 2011-08-15 08:12:58comments
UPDATED: Johnny Depp's The Lone Ranger Shut Down Due To Budget ConcernsThe Lone Ranger has all of the makings of a hit.
