The Lone Ranger (2013)

This upcoming film will showcase Armie Hammer as The Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto. Frankly, I'm up for this film only because of Johnny Depp. (grin)

notice Johnny Depp is first in the billing. Ha!

This sends me off reading about the original franchise... and humming the distinct theme... well, you know it.

Also, it interested me that the Lone Ranger had a creed to live by, which was good reading. It read:

I believe...

• that to have a friend, a man must be one.

• that all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.

• that God put the firewood there, but that every man must gather and light it himself.

• in being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right.

• that a man should make the most of what equipment he has.

• that 'this government of the people, by the people, and for the people' shall live always.

• that men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.

• that sooner or later...somewhere...somehow...we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken.

• that all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever.

• in my Creator, my country, my fellow man.

Will be seeing this either in theaters, or, closer to reality, downloaded on my computer sometime after.
