The Lone Ranger Rides Again

Perhaps you’ve seen a crazy picture of Johnny Depp.  Crazy how so?  Because of the raven he’s wearing on his head.

That is Johnny’s makeup and “hairpiece” for the upcoming Disney live-action film The Lone Ranger.  Here are the 3 trailers for the movie so far, which look stunning.

Video from YouTube. I like the opening narrative–very intriguing!

Video from YouTube. My favorite of the three.

Video from YouTube. This is a sneak peek at the trailer that will play tomorrow during the Super Bowl–which I will miss!  And speaking of Super Bowl trailers...remember this?

I have to admit that I am not familiar at all with the original Lone Ranger…heck, I’m not even sure if it was a movie or a TV series.  I know of the titular character, Tonto, and Silver (the last one mainly from a Breyer model I used to desire with all my heart).  So having no real connection with the original whatever, I have no expectations except something fantasmic.  However, personally, I do not like it when people mess around with previous works and/or classics, such as the movie and book Maleficent or the new Wizard of Oz movie are respectively based on, but those are for another time.  In short, I understand if some people are not excited for the movie because maybe it messes around with the original.

Summing up.   I like Westerns.  I like thrillers.  I like Johnny Depp.  Nuff said.  I’m excited.

And so I’ll be in theaters on July 3rd this year.

See ya all real soon!
