The Lone Ranger Trailer Rides Into Town!

At long last, here’s the trailer for Disney’s reboot of matinee old school favourite, THE LONE RANGER. Hi ho, Silver indeed. The movie – from director and producer duo Gore Verbinksi and Jerry Bruckheimer –is a clear effort by Disney to establish another adventure franchise in the vein of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN (look, there’s Johnny Depp in a vaguely amusing hat), and from the looks of this slick trailer, they could be onto a surefire winner.

The movie will apparently recount THE LONE RANGER’s backstory, in which the character (proper name John Reid) turns from lawman to rogue crusader of justice, which hopefully entail a little more than simply popping on a novelty mask. The character was a popular staple of America radio and television during the 1940s and ’50s, and it will be interesting to see just how the story has been re-imagined for modern day.

Check out the trailer below!

THE LONE RANGER stars Armie Hammer, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson, and  Ruth Wilson. It arrives in cinemas summer 2013.
