After years of delays, the big-screen version of the popular Fifties show started filming last month.
And producer Jerry Bruckheimer gave fans a sneak peek at what to expect with the first photo of Armie Hammer as the Ranger and Johnny Depp as his sidekick Tonto.

Eh...may have to check them out.
“Why does Tonto have a dead crow on his head?”
Just to be an authentic head.
But is it worse than hiring Canadians to play Americans?
Sweet Jesus!
Hollywood quit messin’ with my friggin’ childhood.
I loved the Lone Ranger. Clayton Moore, and Jay Silverheels were the only Lone Ranger and Tonto I knew.
Who’s got that “Not this sh*&! again” photo?
It applies to this.
Fixed...there's no such thing as a "Native" American. No human is "native" to this continent.
Next thing you know, they'll get a black guy to play James West.

Armand Hammer, Arnie's great-grandfather, was the oil mogul.
Armand's father Julius was involved in forming the Communist Party USA.
It’s short for Armand Hammer, which was originally chosen as a pun on the Communist Arm and Hammer logo of the USSR.
The symbol of the USSR was a hammer and sickle. The symbol of the Socialist Labor Party of America, founded in 1877, was an arm holding a hammer. Julius Hammer was a member of this party before he helped start the Communist Party USA.
Why do they keep making movies based on old TV shows?
They are never like the original. They either make a spoof out of it, or make a “dark” version of the characters, or make it politically correct.
Have Hollywood idiots truly run out of new ideas for movies????
I’ve heard of eating crow, but never wearing it.
As long as they get a real horse to play Hiyo Silver, and a real Swiss to play the William Tell Overture.
yes, because you wouldn’t expect them to cast a Native American as Tonto, now, would you?
Great, now they’re going to ruin The Lone Ranger and Tonto’s good names.
I was mesmerized by that show as pre-teen girl.
Only whites could play Indians back them.
Some made the grade and some didn’t.
Dang. Someone else that has seen “Dead Man”.
Iggy Pop was a hoot!
“Stupid f-—ing white man”
You got it.
You’d think (and it looks like you’d be right) that Hollywood has run out ideas.
If it ain’t Vampires, Werewolves or Zombies, then “let’s remake an old beloved t.v. show”
I even heard they wanted to do a big screen version of, Hogan’s Heros.
Johnny Depp, as Tonto Kowalski.
yes pretty much. its all about $$
