Back in August, we got the pretty unexpected news that there was suddenly a possibility that the high-budget, high-profile film adaptation of The Lone Ranger, helmed by Gore Verbinski and top-lined by Armie Hammer and none other than Johnny Depp, might be scrapped by Disney on account of its budget. Rumours then began circulating that [...]
As late as May this year, all things seemed to be running smoothly for Disney’s The Lone Ranger project, with the announcement that Armie Hammer (The Social Network) had been cast as the eponymous Lone Ranger, opposite Johnny Depp as Tonto. But a few weeks ago, it was unexpectedly announced that the project is now [...]
One of the biggest shocks to rumble through the film industry in recent weeks was the news that Disney’s The Lone Ranger, starring Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the titular hero, had been put on hold due to budget concerns. The story has taken an interesting new turn, however, with comments made [...]
It appears now that not even Disney is safe from the economic crisis that has gripped the world economy as of late. Up until a few days ago, the studio giant was poised to start production on a modern adaptation of the classic 1930s radio and tv show The Lone Ranger. However apparently the film’s [...]
Rango, a quirky, delightfully unique and inspired animated film, was released in cinemas back in March where it made quite the impression, grossing an estimated $242M worldwide and kick-starting this years awards buzz. Gore Verbinksi’s quirky, delightfully unique and inspired animation film, featuring the voices of Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin and Ray Winstone, hit [...]
Armie Hammer (The Social Network) has officially been cast in Walt Disney Pictures’ The Lone Ranger. Hammer will star as the Lone Ranger to Johnny Depp’s Tonto. Based on the character created by George W. Trendle in 1933, The Lone Ranger follows a masked Texas Ranger (Hammer) in the American Old West who gallops about righting injustices with the aid of his [...]
Armie Hammer (The Social Network) is in early negotiations to star as the Lone Ranger in Walt Disney Pictures’ The Lone Ranger. Hammer will star opposite Johnny Depp (Rango) in a new film based on the character created by George W. Trendle in 1933.

UPDATE: We have heard that this story is in fact incorrect and we have been given information direct from Disney / Jerry Bruckheuimer Films confirming Depp’s involvement in The Lone Ranger. Sorry for worrying any Depp fans out there necessarily! Mark this one down as rumour for the moment… We’re hearing from sources close to [...]
We’ve a little Rango crazy over the last few weeks, and with good reason. Gore Verbinski’s CG adventure looks incredible, as the many trailers and clips show, and we’ve got our hands on some concept art showing the transition between the hand drawn storyboards and the final shot. It’s always interesting to break down the [...]
Tomorrow sees the arrival of Rango into UK cinemas. We loved the film, and Gore Verbinski’s chameleonic western tale not only looks fantastic but benefits from a voice cast which includes Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy, Ray Winstone, Timothy Olyphant, Abigail Breslin and Alfred Molina. You can see why we’re excited about this one. [...]
Rango sees Gore Verbinski and Jonny Depp team up to tell the tale of a pet chameleon with aspirations of becoming an actor finding himself stranded in a town called Dirt in the Mojave desert. In order to fit in with the locals he adopts the persona of a typical western gunslinger and soon finds [...]
Johnny Depp’s latest movie comes in animated form with the name of Rango. I caught up with co-star Abigail Breslin and their director Gore Verbinski where we talked about acting for this animated movie with no voice booth included. If you missed our interview post with Isla Fisher you can check it out here, our [...]
Over the last week there have been a number of clips from Gore Verbinski’s Rango unleashed onto an expectant world and I can’t work out why people aren’t falling over themselves to praise the quality of the visuals here. I’m not just talking about the character design or the impressively rendered models or the almost [...]
Pirates of the Caribbean colleagues, director Gore Verbinski and actor Johnny Depp are the headliners on the poster for this new animation but in all honesty, you really wouldn’t recognise Depp’s vocals, were you not in the know. Depp is like a voice chameleon himself as the optimistic lizard lead, Rango, the latest bestial hero [...]
Isla Fisher used to be on Home and Away, just like Melissa George, whose turn in Christopher Smith’s Triangle was very impressive, and with her leading role in Confessions of a Shopaholic and her appearances in Burke and Hare and now Gore Verbinski’s Rango, the future is looking grand for Ms. Fisher. Here she talks [...]
Rango hits the UK this time next week and we’re very much looking forward to it! Next week, we have an exclusive interview with Abigail Breslin and director, Gore Verbinski so keep your eyes peeled for those. Rango has a voice cast which includes Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy, Ray Winstone, Timothy Olyphant, Abigail [...]
A few days ago I posted the first clip from Gore Verbinski’s animated comedy Rango, which I enjoyed, and now there’s another clip from the film which gives a good idea of the amazing visuals and a keen sense of the silliness on offer here. It’s true that Blazing Saddles had a similar gag thirty [...]
We’ve already seen a few odd trailers for Gore Verbinski’s reuniting with his Pirates leading man Johnny Depp for the animated tale of the chameleon with an identity crisis, Rango and now we have the chance to see a clip from the movie. Depp is joined by Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy, Ray Winstone, Timothy Olyphant, [...]
