The Lone Ranger (2013)

Lone Ranger is an upcoming action film by Gore Verbinski, which will star Armie Hammer as the Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto. It will be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Filming started early in March 2012. The release date is set for May 31, 2013.

Plot

Not much is known about the story other than what director Gore Verbinksi told MTV News about the film being focused around Tonto rather than the Lone Ranger. Verbinski said, "You've heard the Lone Ranger's story; you just haven't heard it told from this guy, and he was there." [1] Along the same lines (and in the same article), Depp talks about Tonto, "I like the character. I think I have interesting plans for the character, and I think the film itself could be entertaining and very funny, but also I like the idea of having the opportunity to make fun of the idea of the Indian as a sidekick — which has always been [the case] throughout the history of Hollywood. The Native American has always been a second-class, third-class, fourth-class, fifth-class citizen, and I don't see Tonto that way at all. So it's an opportunity for me to salute Native Americans."
