Movies following a special screening of 20 minutes of exclusive footage from Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films' thrilling action adventure "The Lone Ranger" on April 17, 2013, at the AMC Town Square 18 in Las Vegas. The event, which starts at 12:30 p.m. (PDT), gives 400+ fans the first look at select footage from the movie and features a live Q&A session with Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer following the screening, with global live streaming beginning at 1:00 p.m. (PDT).

Film fans have an opportunity to engage in a live question and answer discussion with the stars and filmmakers of "The Lone Ranger" by submitting questions via Facebook and/or Twitter using the hashtag #LoneRanger. The Q&A will stream live on Yahoo!

In conjunction with the trailer launch, the "Who Will You Ride With to See a Sneak Peek of The Lone Ranger Sweepstakes" will offer three lucky fans and their Kemosabes a chance to win a trip to Las Vegas to view the footage and attend the live Q&A, where the winners will each be able to pose a question to a member of the cast or a filmmaker.

Native American 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" also stars Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.

A Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films presentation, "The Lone Ranger" is directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski, with screen story by Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio and Justin Haythe and screenplay by Justin Haythe and Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio.

This is gonna flop.

JoshBerger - 3/28/2013, 9:37 AM

Lol this movie is going to suck major balls

superotherside - 3/28/2013, 9:41 AM

Eh. I don't think I'll see this one at the most I may watch it when the DVD comes out. Looks dumb. Sad cause I'm a huge fan of the character, they just didn't do him right.

docgl - 3/28/2013, 9:41 AM

the more I see the worse it looks.

SaxoWolf - 3/28/2013, 9:49 AM

who the f*ck cares?

give me a badass Zorro movie.

Hellsing - 3/28/2013, 9:52 AM

Iron Man 3 and Monsters University should help cover the cost of this movie because it aint looking so good.

Anton - 3/28/2013, 9:54 AM

Visually stunning, not that sure about characters and plot. However, gotta trust in Verbinski, great, talented guy, so I won't leave hope for this being good till the very release.

Probably won't even mind reviews and going to see it whatever anyone says.

no one cares

@grif
It will flop for sure, 200 mil$ + 50-70 mil$ for promo-campaign, movie is no Avatar, kinda hard to cover.

NoAssemblyReqd - 3/28/2013, 10:19 AM

The marketing is leaving me as offput as I was about JOHN CARTER (though I did end up liking that movie much more than I expected to).

I think it was a mistake to go for such drab colors with the marketing materials as well as the Lone Ranger's costume. Where are the bright blues and reds we've come to associate with the character? There's nothing which stands out about this movie (other than Depp) to distinguish it from a typical Western.

The Lone Ranger is basically a superhero on a horse. Where's the theatricality of his character?

TheJester - 3/28/2013, 10:59 AM

Complete failure. Will be as bad if not worse than John Carter.

Its not relevant any longer. Idiots.

they have a better chance at buying and rebooting Dirty Hairy movies.

Wont pay a thing to see this complete garbage.

Yousef90 - 3/28/2013, 12:29 PM

Woow so many trolls here!! iron man fans?
the movie looks amazing and i can hardly wait to see it
A flop with johnny depp!! Hahaha what a joke

Yousef90 - 3/28/2013, 12:32 PM

And i hope som ppl dosen't judge the movie and say it's bad or dumb or flop before it comes out !!

PartyKiller - 3/28/2013, 2:42 PM

Its Johnny Freakin Depp guys! Two guys you dont underestimate right now are Depp and RDJ! If the laughs work its going to be huge!

Another plus is its not a sequel and it looks different than every film coming out this year.

This film WILL do more than MOS, Thor 2 and Wolverine!

Tony93 - 3/28/2013, 2:51 PM

I'll wait to read reviews

TheSuperguy - 3/28/2013, 5:39 PM

Hoping the new trailer gives me more faith in this movie...

Yousef90 - 3/28/2013, 10:33 PM

Remeber that sometimes the great movies had bad trailers! if the trailer wasn't good that's not mean the movies isn't good too!

Phlegmbot - 3/30/2013, 8:39 PM

@Yousef90 Good point. The trailer for Robocop made it look like a very typical sci-fi shoot 'em up. And, as we all know now, it was much smarter than that, a satire of violent movies and a commentary on law enforcement.
