by Alyssa Caverley at . CommentsAfter weeks of speculation and a couple other high profile actor's in the mix, Armie Hammer will play the title role in The Lone Ranger, opposite Johnny Depp's Tonto.
Gore Verbinski will direct the upcoming adaptation of the 1930's radio show that eventually turned into a TV special in the late 40's and 50's.
Hammer will play the title character who is never seen without his mask and is the survivor of an ambush on six Texas Rangers by an armed gang -- all but one is left dead.
