First Trailer for 'The Lone Ranger' Leaked

Posted byBy R Scott Belzer | Published on: | Updated on June 29, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

The first trailer for the upcoming film The Lone Ranger was released last night during Armie Hammer’s appearance on Jay Leno’s late night talk show. Now, courtesy of comicbookmovie.com, it has begun surfacing online.

The trailer, as most are nowadays, appears to be layered in style. Tom Wilkinson’s voiceover discusses the rise of railroads in the American west as slow-motion action scenes play out. Soon, Johnny Depp’s voiceover replaces and discusses the need for a masked hero before breaking into regularly paced action sequences.

The Lone Ranger will star Armie Hammer as the title character and Johnny Depp as Tonto. While that would normally be tantalizing enough, it’s downright palpitating to know that Gore Verbinski will be directing the duo. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that the likes of Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson, and Barry Pepper will also be co-starring.

With the amount of buzz The Lone Ranger has been receiving lately, it’s hard to imagine its release will not be until July 2013. That leaves plenty of time for movie nerds, critics, as well as your average moviegoer to gush or dismiss the trailer. So if you’ve missed Johnny Depp donning about 10 pounds of makeup and talking funny, waste no more time and check out the trailer below. Enjoy!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
