Disney has released the first theatrical trailer for The Lone Ranger, set to be its next big budget summer blockbuster. Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer in the film's lead roles, the duo is supported by Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson and William Fichtner, among others. With an estimated budget of $250 million, the action-packed western is set to take center stage during next year's summer lineup -- casting Johnny Depp doesn't hurt either, as I'm sure Disney has learned.
The Lone Ranger recounts the tale of native American spirit warrior Tonto (Depp), and man of the law John Reid (Armie Hammer), are opposites brought together by fate and must join forces to battle greed and corruption. Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice.
