The Lone Ranger:
Young Johnny Depp
Would Hate Old
Johnny Depp
Descripción:
Twenty-three years ago, Johnny Depp wanted out. His breakthrough role on the Fox series 21 Jump Street had become an albatross: After four seasons of playing the same character, the stir-crazy Depp was ready for different roles, impatient to leave behind the more limited medium of television in order to embrace the infinite possibilities that movies could offer him. So what’s happened to Depp since? The actor who once looked down his nose at TV has now mined his last two big-screen bombs from old television shows — The Lone Ranger and Dark Shadows — and the decade-plus serialization of Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has gone on far longer than nearly any TV series he could have shackled himself to. Have the rhythms of our once most unpredictable star now become routine?
The actor who once abhorred repeating himself now seems content to do so: Depp is prepping a fifth Pirates of the Caribbean (though the franchise hit a natural stopping point after the third movie), and even his 2011 film The Rum Diary proved a pallid attempt to recapture the addled magic of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. With The Lone Ranger, Depp had hoped to use his new take on Tonto to launch another sequel-ready franchise. To be fair, it’s a very different version of the character than the one offered by the fifties TV show: a Tonto with far more agency than the original but even more eccentricities, including wild face makeup and a habit of feeding birdseed to the clearly expired crow that rests on his head like a tattered, feathered tri-corner hat.
