When producer Jerry Bruckheimer appeared at CinemaCon in Las Vegas to talk about his latest project, The Lone Ranger, he brought along a sure-fire audience attention-grabber: his star, Johnny Depp, who plays Tonto. Mr. Bruckheimer explained why he wanted to bring the Western saga, which debuted on radio in 1933, to a new generation: “It’s all about justice and we all love to have justice in our world around us.”

The producer is also concerned with showing justice and respect to the Native American culture represented in the film. Leaders of the Navajo nation have already visited the film site. “We’ve been working with the Navajos and the Comanches and a few others,” Bruckheimer said. “We want to make sure we get it right and make it as authentic as we can in the movie.”

Bruckheimer sounded delighted with his new screen team of Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, who plays the Ranger. “Armie’s such a gentleman. He’s so fun to be with,” Bruckheimer declared. “Johnny’s such a generous actor. They’re getting along great. And they are so fantastic together.” We can’t wait to see that chemistry on the big screen.
