Armie Hammer talks THE LONE RANGER and Snow White MIRROR MIRROR

Movie Armie Hammer The Lone Ranger about 14 years agoby

Armie Hammer has had a tough time in Hollywood despite his breakout role in The Social Network. Not only has The Lone Ranger had a hard time getting made, in 2007 he was cast as Bruce Wayne/Batman in George Miller's Justice League, which never got off the ground.

Lone Ranger is finally moving ahead and Hammer looks to be well on the way to stardom. Here is Hammer had to say in a recent interview with Moviefone:

That's an interesting role. How do you prepare to play The Lone Ranger?
Well, my researcher is prepping again. She's looking up Texas Ranger lore and Texas history and locations that are in the movie that I want to know about. What the general population would know in the day -- how informed were they? How did they get their news? What sort of education would this guy have? All of those things. So, really, a lot of stuff. I'm excited about getting into it.
You might want to stay away from the 1981 movie 'The Legend of the Lone Ranger.'
[Laughs] Yeah, right! That was the real lame one. Yeah, yeah.
Why are there two Snow White movies coming out next year?
There are two Snow White movies coming out for the same reason that you remember back in the day there was 'Armageddon' and then 'Deep Impact.' You know, 'Andromeda Strain' and then 'Outbreak.' Like, all of those things. It's common because basically studios have no imagination in making the decisions. They go, "Oh, they just had success with that movie, so we'll do a movie like that."
The pictures look nice.
Those pictures aren't even recut. Like, those are just pictures that some guy took on stage. Wait until you see. I've seen little things that after Tarsem [Singh] has done his Tarsem magic on it, those pictures look drastically different. Don't think that's what it's going to look like. It's going to look so much cooler.

I am really not looking forward to either of these films. The other Snow White film looks better and Lone Ranger is still too overpriced for my liking. What are your thoughts on this news?
