First Look: Johnny Depp As Tonto In The Lone Ranger
The picture shows the two actors in full costume and makeup, set against a blue but cloudy sky. Johnny Depp, as Tonto, is sporting an elaborate headdress with what looks like a stuffed crow resting on his head. Feathers hang from his headband and his face is painted chalk-white, with black vertical lines. The new version of the classic Western story is being directed by Gore Verbinski - the man behind Rango and the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies and, according to Entertainment Weekly, will be looking to make the Lone Ranger's sidekick Tonto into a more prominent character. Armie Hammer, who played the dual role of Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in 2010's The Social Network, is pictured looking dapper as The Lone Ranger, in a large white Stetson, black eye mask and red neckerchief.
The Lone Ranger is scheduled for release in 2013 and also stars Helena Bonham Carter. She's used to working with Johnny Depp, of course and the pair can be seen this year (2012) starring in Dark Shadows - directed by Helena's husband, TIM BURTON.| Comment on this article |
