Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer talk from the New Mexico |
LAMY, N.M. — Trouble is brewing between the masked gunfighter (Armie Hammer) and his newfound Comanche traveling companion, Tonto (Johnny Depp), late at night on the New Mexico set of The Lone Ranger.
In the scene, the famed lawman is on a wooden porch, fuming behind his leather mask over the smoking carnage of an apparent Indian attack.
The fuming turns to full-on rage as Tonto removes a ring from the finger of a body and places a white feather on the corpse's chest. The Lone Ranger sprints down the porch steps and grabs Tonto, only to have the Comanche flip him onto his back into the dirt in one seamless motion.
Despite the resounding thud from Hammer, director Gore Verbinski calls for repeated takes of the scene.
It's a key moment in the reboot — which has the Pirates of the Caribbean crew, Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, at the helm — since it encapsulates the spirit of Hammer and Depp's new adventure.
