Click

It’s the movie whose opening keeps on getting postponed mostly because of budget fixes. Bit it now it seems likely that we will see one of the 21 century’s first western movies next summer. It’s The Lone Ranger starring Armie Hammer at the Masked Man and Johnny Depp as his faithful sidekick Tonto. This trailer has been out a couple of weeks and the action does commend a look. Depp of course is 49 years old and it has been suggested that his relationship with Hammer is more like an uncle than a friend. But the film makers are sticking to the line that Tonto is the assistant not the boss. Depp is portrayed in some apparently amazing stunts — which may be rigged — but are very entertaining  Click the picture of him wrestling with the coupler of speeding train cars to see the trailer. The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Gore Verbinski
