Star Cineplex will screen Johnny Depp’s “Lone Ranger” from Friday and the premiere show will take place today at 6:45pm. One of the leading movie theatres of the country, Star Cineplex is entertaining the audience by bringing newly released Hollywood movies as soon as possible for the movie lovers. Before Cineplex started this trend, the audience had to wait a long time to watch international movies in the local theatres of the country.
“The Lone Ranger” is a 2013 American western action film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films and directed by Gore Verbinski.
The story is based on the radio series by the same name, the film stars Johnny Depp as Tonto, the narrator of the events, and Armie Hammer as John Reid (The Lone Ranger). It relates Tonto’s memories of the duo’s earliest efforts to subdue the immoral actions of the corrupt and bring justice in the American Old West. The film marks the first theatrical film featuring the Lone Ranger and Tonto characters in more than 32 years.
“The Lone Ranger” star Johnny Depp shot to stardom when he replaced Jeff Yagher in the role of undercover cop Tommy Hanson in the popular TV series “21 Jump Street” (1987).
His first of a handful of great collaborations with director Tim Burton came about when Depp played the title role in “Edward Scissorhands” (1990). Following the film’s success, Depp carved a niche for himself as a serious, somewhat dark, idiosyncratic performer, consistently selecting roles that surprised critics and audiences alike. He continued to gain critical acclaim and increasing in popularity by appearing in many features before re-joining with Burton in the lead role of “Ed Wood” (1994). In 1999, he appeared in the sci-fi/horror film “The Astronaut’s Wife” (1999). The same year he teamed up again with Burton in Sleepy Hollow (1999), brilliantly portraying Ichabod Crane.
Depp stole the show from screen greats such as Antonio Banderas in the finale to Robert Rodriguez’s “mariachi” trilogy, “Once Upon a Time in Mexico” (2003). In that same year he starred in the marvelous family blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” (2003), playing a character that only the likes of Depp could pull off: the charming, conniving and roguish Captain Jack Sparrow. Depp then collaborated again with Burton in a screen adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005).
