Jerry Bruckheimer has revealed the first photo from the
Lone Ranger starring
Armie Hammer and
Johnny Depp. The photo shows the pairing in full costume with Hammer in full Ranger attire and Depp with an interesting take on the Tonto costume. The film is early in the creation process, but the cast seem to be excited about the possibilities. Depp earlier told
MTV News that he was excited about what he could bring to the role of Tonto. He said, “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.”
Helena Bonham Carter,
William Fichtner and
Tom Wilkinson among many others will feature alongside Hammer and Depp. Lone Ranger is currently scheduled for release in May 2013. It has an estimated budget of $215 million, so there is plenty that the crew can do with the film.
