Director Gore Verbinski, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and star Johnny Depp certainly made Disney a healthy profit with the first three instalments of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Now the Mouse House will be hoping they can repeat that feat when the action shifts from the high seas to the Old West for the mega-budget big screen adaptation of The Lone Ranger, and the studio has stumped up the best part of $12 million to secure a 90-second advertising slot for the Western adventure, which you can check out below."Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice-taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption."
Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp are joined in the cast of The Lone Ranger by William Fichtner, Tom Wilkinson, Barry Pepper, Helena Bonham Carter, Mason Cook, Ruth Wilson, James Badge Dale, James Frain and Harry Treadaway.
