Here’s your first look at Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer as Tonto and the Lone Ranger in the troubled Gore Verbinski production of The Lone Ranger courtesy of the Bruckheimer. The movie shut down in August due to the rising budget but was brought back to life after Jerry Bruckheimer and Verbinski managed to get the budget down to around $215 million. Anyway, guess whether or not Johnny Depp looks ridiculous just for the sake of looking ridiculous. I’ll wait.
I’m not sure how I feel about this. It looks like they just Indian-ified (technical term) Johnny’s Pirates of the Caribbean costume. Actually, all they did was paint his face with white warpaint and put a crow on his head. The costume designer probably had to cut out early that day because of a raging hangover. You can tell Johnny is looking at Armie Hammer like, “Why the f**k do I look like an idiot and you look like a kick-ass Old Western Green Hornet?”
“That not my belly button, Lone Ranger”…”That’s not my finger, Tonto”….
