More of today's biggest movie news below.The First Lone Ranger TrailerIt's been more than half a year since the first image of Johnny Depp as Tonto piqued our curiosity about The Lone Ranger. Today we finally have our first trailer, and it looks exactly like the kind of big budget western you'd expect from the star, director (Gore Verbinski), producer (Jerry Bruckheimer), and parent company (Disney) that brought us fourPirates of the Caribbeanmovies.
Armie Hammer,who made a name for himself playing both Winklevoss twins inThe Social Network, stars as the titular masked ranger, while Depp dons heavy (and surprisingly not very controversial at this point) makeup to play his loyal Native American sidekick, Tonto. Packed with slow-motion gunplay, sweeping canyon shots, saloon girls, train robberies, and the dead crow that sits on Johnny Depp's head, this could be the post-John Carter blockbuster Disney needs to get back on track.

A-List Stars Do Very R-Rated Material in Movie 43
Like an A-list version of The Underground Comedy Movie, Movie 43 is a series of very dirty sketches. The trailer opens with Anna Faris asking Parks & Recreation actor Chris Pratt to "poop on" her (see image above), setting the tone for the rest of the skits, which were directed by the likes of Elizabeth Banks, Brett Ratner, Peter Farrelly, and Bob Odenkirk. Word is it took four years to shoot the movie because of the many busy schedules involved. So really it's a labor of love.
