Disney’s The Lone Ranger

She's guest-blogging today to speak about The Lone Ranger.

           

With the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in 2011, Disney had officially beaten the franchise to death.  Rather than making audiences sit through another installment to, what was once, a proud franchise, the producers have created The Lone Ranger, which is based off the 1950s TV series.

Johnny Depp plays Tonto, who’s character appears similar to Captain Jack Sparrow to me.  Specifically, in Dead Man’s Chest, when he is the cannibal god.

John Reid, or the Lone Ranger, is played by Armie Hammer, who played the Winklevoss twins in the Social Network.  Did anyone else know that they were played by one guy? (Mind blown.)

Helena Bonham Carter also has a major role in the movie as Red. 

Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in the same movie usually only points to one director.  But the only thing that stops this from being a Tim Burton movie is the fact that he had nothing to do with the movie.  I checked.

I think I will see it, though.
