Armie Hammer says The Lone Ranger is more realistic
The actor first revealed that his Lone Ranger is not only more grounded in reality, but more hardcore than the original character.
""It's a little bit more badass and a little more realistic."
Earlier this month, the first photo from The Lone Ranger was revealed, featuring Armie Hammer as the title character. The actor says he is grateful that they ditched the original baby blue body costume for this version of The Lone Ranger's wardrobe.
"I'm really glad they didn't go with this like, skintight, baby blue, Lycra jumpsuit that the old Lone Ranger was wearing."
Armie Hammer also revealed that there are many scenes involving horses, and he described one particularly mammoth horse.
"We have one horse that is humongous. For anyone to get on this thing you need a stepladder, he's a beast of burden! There's all kinds of fun stuff that's going to happen on horses."
The Lone Ranger is currently shooting in New Mexico, with Gore Verbinski directing from a screenplay by Justin Haythe, Ted Elliott, and Terry Rossio.
The Lone Ranger comes to theaters July 3rd, 2013 and stars Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Armie Hammer, William Fichtner, Tom Wilkinson, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, James Frain. The film is directed by Gore Verbinski.

@ghostman So I've learned... I just think it's funny how close Armie Hammer is to Arm & Hammer.

Whoa, didn't expect this kind of reaction from folks. I've yet to see anything that will suggest that this film will fail in any way. Granted, I'm not pumped for it, but where the hell's all this negativity coming from?

@ghostman Next summer. But Pixar likes to attach trailers to their next project with their current releases.

@ghostman Maybe. It would be kind of fitting. I hope there's a trailer for Monsters University and Finding Nemo 3D attached to it.

@SpaceCowboy@themoviefanatic If it's in production filming right now, I don't expect a teaser until Feb next year. If not by winter like Sean said.

@themoviefanatic Nah, teasers usually surface a year before the movie comes out. I expect one sometime during the summer.

@bawnian-dexeus Ooooooo yeah, because everyone relates to a horse and horses bring in the money...
I wonder if they added in horses, into John Carter, it would have been more successful
