New The Lone Ranger Trailer – Armie Hammer & Johnny Depp saddle up

May 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Hollywood hasn’t had much luck with blockbusters westerns (The Wild Wild West pretty much killed off studio interest for the last decade), but Disney will be hoping for more from its $200+ million The Lone Ranger. And from the evidence of a new trailer that’s popped up over at Apple, the film is looking pretty good.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero  is brought to life through new eyes.  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.’

It’s out July 3rd in the US and August 9th in the UK.

Alicia Vikander Joins Tom Cruise & Armie Hammer In The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

May 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Alicia-VikanderSwedish actress Alicia Vikander’s star has been rising thanks to A Royal Affair and Anna Karenina, and will be seen later this year in The Seventh Son and The Fifth Estate. Now she’s got what may be her biggest break yet, as THR reports that she’s landed the female lead in The Man from U.N.C.L.E..

Gut Ritchie is directing the project, which is based on the Robert Vaughn and David McCallum starring 1960s series of the same name, which followed United Network Command for Law Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.) agents Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, as they battle the evil agents of Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (T.H.R.U.S.H.). Tom Cruise is playing the American agent Solo, with Armie Hammer playing his Russian partner, Kuryakin.

Alicia Vikander will be a British agent who has an affinity for cars. She’s playing a completely new character who was not a part of the original series.

Scott Z. Burns wrote the screeplay, but it’s not clear when it will shoot.

Armie Hammer’s star continues to rise, with The Lone Ranger in cinemas this summer, and now the news, via Deadline, that he has joined the cast of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. alongside Tom Cruise, which Guy Ritchie is set to direct.

The original Man from U.N.C.L.E. ran from 1964 to 1968, starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum as two agents of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.), who do battle with the evil organisation Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (T.H.R.U.S.H.). Armie Hammer will play a version of McCallum’s Illya Kuryakin, with Tom Cruise playing Vaughn’s Napoleon Solo.

Guy Ritchie is directing from a screenplay by Scott Z. Burns, which had been in development for several years. At one point, Steven Soderbergh was set to direct, with George Clooney attached to star, but they both dropped out when George Clooney had to have surgery on his neck. It isn’t clear when the Cruise starring version will shoot.

New The Lone Ranger Trailer – The western goes mega-budget with Johnny Depp

April 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The received wisdom is that in the modern age, westerns don’t make huge amounts of money at the box office, but Disney is making a $200+ million bet on The Lone Ranger. It’s perhaps not as mad as it sounds, as people said the same thing about pirate movies until Johnny Depp, director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer came up with Pirates Of The Caribbean – and they’re the same people behind Lone Ranger.

Now an explosive new trailer has been released, which certainly make the film look like it could be a lot of fun, even if the tone is slightly uneven.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero  is brought to life through new eyes.  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.’

It’s out July 3rd in the US and August 9th in the UK. [Read more…]

April 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

elysium-poster1More new posters have emerged for some of this year’s most anticipated movies – Elysium, The Longer Ranger and The Hangover Part III. The Elysium poster above comes just a few hours before we’ve been promised the first trailer for the movie, which sees Matt Damon as a man living on a ruined Earth, who becomes a threat to the elite, who live way above the surface in a place called Elysium. The film hits cinemas this summer.

The Hangover Part III meanwhile sees the Wolf Pack returning to Las Vegas. This time there’s no bachelor party of wedding, but mayhem inevitably ensues as the boys go for one final blowout. It’s out May 24th.

The Lone Ranger has released two character posters featuring Armie Hammer as the title character and Johnny Depp as Tonto. The mega-budget take on the classic character is out in July.

New Lone Ranger Photo Gets Fiery

April 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lone-ranger-preview-pic8
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has released a new photo from The Lone ranger on his Twitter page, showing Armie Hammer and William Fichtner walking away from two massive fires. It’s a classic shot as the heroes walk away as everything burns behind them, but unfortunately there’s no info on exactly how this fits into the film.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero  is brought to life through new eyes.  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.’

The Lone Ranger International Trailer – Exploding even bigger in Japanese

March 14, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The voiceover and text in this new international trailer might be in Japanese, but you don’t really need to translate special effects and explosions, so it’s definitely worth taking a look.

There’s plenty of new footage to give us a taste of the big budget take on the classic western.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero  is brought to life through new eyes.  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.’

The film hits cinema on August 9th 2013.

The Lone Ranger Extended Superbowl Spot – Hi ho Johnny Depp

February 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Although some of the special effects shots in this extended TV spot look a little dodgy (hopefully that’ll be sorted out before the film is released), The Lone Ranger certainly seems like it’ll be spectacular and fun – which is what you’d hope considering the $200+ million budget.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes.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.’

The film will be released on August 9th, 2013.
