FIRST LOOK: Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer in The Lone Ranger

You will have to wait until tomorrow at 7am in order to check out the first official trailer for The Loan Ranger, but today, we have images and the first official poster to share! I can’t think of a bigger selling point for a film than two hot guys, Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, so you know how excited I must be for the release of this film.

Here is the synopsis from Walt Disney:

From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.

The Lone Ranger hits theaters on July 3rd, 2013. Be sure to head over to iTunes for the exclusive trailer debut tomorrow at 7AM PST.

Johnny Depp and Jonny Lee Miller bring ‘Dark Shadows’ to LA

With all the insanity of the MET gala taking place in The Big Apple, we can’t forget to show some love to two of our favorite guys! Johnny Depp and Jonny Lee Miller hit the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of Dark Shadows held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on May 7, 2012 in Hollywood, California.

Joining them were co-stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green, Chloe Moretz, Bella Heathcote and director Tim Burton.

Dark Shadows is an upcoming gothic dramedy film based on the 1966–1971 gothic soap opera of the same name. The film tells the story of Barnabas Collins (Depp), a 200-year-old vampire, and his cousin Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Pfeiffer), the reclusive matriarch of the Collins family.

The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.

Dark Shadows hits theaters on May 11th, 2012.

First Official Look at Dark Shadows

Now this is more like it. Entertainment Weekly posted the first official cast photo for Tim Burton’s remake of the television classic Dark Shadows it makes me goose-pimply all over. Check it out below.

I think I can say my faith in this remake has been restored quite a bit thanks to this photo. Johnny Depp’s Barnabus looks to be much more in line with Jonathan Frid’s look from the 1960s than the circus freakshow look we saw in set photos last week. I’m guessing the weirdo makeup seen in those photos was just the early stages of the process instead of the final product. Let the heavens rejoice! This new image is very evocative of the original cast photo.

Dark Shadows opens on May 11, 2012. You can read the entire Enterainment Weekly article here.

First look at Johnny Depp as Barnabus Collins

I have a laundry list of issues with Tim Burton and with Johnny Depp, but I was willing to lay those aside when I heard they were working on a film version of the 60s hit vampire soap opera Dark Shadows. Depp has a well documented love of the old series and I can respect that. But these photos of him in costume as vampire Barnabus Collins makes the baby Jesus cry.

What is going on here? Is the movie being shot in black and white? Is this a Michael Jackson biopic thinly veiled as a vampire movie? That is the only reason I can come up with for such ridiculous makeup and those sunglasses. For those not familiar with the series here is the original Barnabus Collins (Jonathan Frid).

I really want to give Burton the benefit of the doubt here and I’m holding out hope until I see a trailer or something. But if Depp’s Barnabus breaks into some lame interpretive dance then there is going to be a riot. I’m just saying.
