There’s been plenty of news lately for those interested in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, including the castings of Megan Fox as April O’Neil, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and of course, Master Splinter.

Now comes word that William Fichtner, the star of movies like Armageddon, Black Hawk Down, The Dark Knight, and Disney’s upcoming Lone Ranger, is also joining the cast.

A new trailer has been released for The Lone Ranger, Disney’s new take on the classic masked hero.

The movie is directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango), and stars Armie Hammer (The Social Network, Mirror Mirror) in the title role and Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) as the Native American warrior Tonto.

Check out the new trailer for The Lone Ranger below now.

Having never seen the original TV show or heard any of the original radio broadcasts, I didn’t know what to expect from Gore Verbinski’s The Lone Ranger. The film stars Johnny Depp as Native American Spirit Warrior, Tonto, who must join forces with John Reid (Armie Hammer), to battle the evil that is fueled by greed and corruption. So after all the delays, script rewrites, and reworking the budget, we finally got our first look at The Lone Ranger.

Check out the first trailer for the film here below.

A director interpreting a property that looks radically different from the original is nothing new. But for those who were worried about all the problems that affected this film, it looks like this trailer should put their nerves at ease.

Director Neill Blomkamp‘s follow-up to the 2009 hit District 9, Elysium, will once again feature a blend of sci-fi and social issues. Since production for the film has been heavily guarded, outside of who is cast, we know very little about the film. But with San Diego Comic-Con just around the corner, all that will change when Blomkamp himself will make an appearance to talk about the film.

To tease that much anticipated panel, an image has been released offering us our first look at a bald Matt Damon with a heavy duty gun. You can see the image above, or a bigger version below.

Singer and actor Dwight Yoakam was originally set to play the villain in Walt Disney’s upcoming western epic, The Lone Ranger.

Now Yoakam has had to step away from the project due to a scheduling conflict, and a replacement has already been found. William Fichtner, star of such titles as Armageddon, The Perfect Storm, Black Hawk Down, and Prison Break, has joined the movie and will now be the villain.
