The Lone Ranger

The character of the Lone Ranger has been an important and iconic piece of American culture for 80 years. Few characters have had his longevity or have burrowed so deep into the popular culture consciousness. Even if you've never seen, read or heard anything directly dealing with the Lone Ranger and his faithful partner, Tonto, you surely know who they are...

Disney has released a new TV spot for 'The Lone Ranger,' in keeping with the film's July 3 release date. But there isn't much -- if any -- new footage to be seen in this commercial. We get a peek at the familiar train sequence again, which seems like a big selling point for the studio -- understandably so, since director Gore Verbinski likely spent a ton of money to execute it...

After plenty of trailers and posters, the first official 'The Lone Ranger' clip has arrived and it gives us a taste of what Disney's epic action western will feel like. If you guessed that it would feel a lot like the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films...you're right. Between director Gore Verbsinki's familiar style and the mere presence of Johnny Depp, this clip looks very much like something writt

'The Lone Ranger' will be hitting theaters in a little over two weeks. Right now it doesn't feel like one of the summer's biggest tentpole films; perhaps it was waiting for some of the big superhero films to hit screens before going for the full-court ad press.

The newly resurrected Lone Ranger and his right-hand man, Tonto, band together to fight injustice.

A few weeks ago, we talked about our most anticipated films of the upcoming Summer movie season. It was full of the usual suspects: 'Pacific Rim,' 'Iron Man 3,' 'Man of Steel' and all of the other movies that you're already planning to see three times...

Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice.

Things have been awfully quiet around Disney's upcoming 'The Lone Ranger,' but with the summer movie season rapidly approaching, we can probably expect to start seeing a lot more (and getting sick) of it sooner rather than later. Two new character posters have arrived, each spotlighting the heroes of the film: Johnny Depp's Tonto and Armie Hammer's Lone Ranger.

Considering the loud drum beat some franchise pictures have already made for their summer releases (think of how many 'Iron Man 3' TV spots, posters, etc. have been released), the lead up to this summer's 'The Lone Ranger' has been relatively quiet so far. Perhaps that's why producer Jerry Bruckheimer released an image from the film today.

Though audiences may not be quite as excited for 'The Lone Ranger' as they are for 'Iron Man 3' or 'Fast and Furious 6,' we think this 'Lone Ranger' Super Bowl trailer could change their mind.
