The first image of The Lone Ranger has been released showing Armie Hammer as the titular Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto.
Despite Tonto's black-and-white face paint and the casting of Helena Bonham Carter, The Lone Ranger will be directed by Gore Verbinski and not Tim Burton. Verbinski is fast-becoming Depp's new go-to director after three Pirates film and Rango. Hope Burton isn't getting too jealous.
The Lone Ranger will star William Fichtner as the villain and also Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale and Tom Wilkinson. There are clearly high hopes for a franchise, as Jerry Bruckheimer is producer (another Pirates alumni) and he is accustomed to a high box office gross.
The could-be franchise arrives May 2013.
