[Mrs. Sawyer]

Looks pretty, especially that last pic.

 

[terry78]

Yeah, Verbinski is going big with this. I'm seeing where the budget is going now.

 

[dustbros]

So they sale this as a western? hmm...

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Looks pretty, especially that last pic.

IT better considering the money. t:

 

[Gold Samurai]

Yeah. The 250 million dollars budget better be reflected on the big screen

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Damn that's a beautiful shot.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'm really liking the look of this film so far. Looking forward to see how this and the rest look in action.

 

[Kane52630]

Looks awe-inspiring, forget the budget as long as it has epic shots like these I will watch it in IMAX.

 

[Breogan]

Is Mr. (I'm a real Indian) Depp wearing a freakin fake nose?
Is this why they caked him in that phony white paint, to cover how fake it is?

Anyway, allot of those frontier landscape shots look spectacular.
I think that and the powerful origin story (if they stick somewhat to it) are going to carry this movie for me.

The outrageous Depp stuff just comes off as a desperate act for attention, which they will get on ma$$$$.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

lol that stupid bird on his head. Why is it's mouth open in one pic and closed in others?

It's alive. It just lives on his head.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

No ****. I thought it was stuffed lol. Guess that explains it. Though in a way that's even dumber.

 

[Asgard]

"Hey, Mr. Indian guy, you got bird **** on your head." "Yeah, that's Larry's."

They cake Depp with makeup to hide his age. They have been doing it for a while now. He looks much younger with the make up. I have no problem with it as long as he brings the acting.

Damn, I think the bird thing is going too far.

The movie's already gone overbudget and I still believe a $250 million Lone Ranger flick is one of the dumbest ideas ever. Prove me wrong Gore, Jerry, and Johnny.

Do Native Americans really like Tonto? I've always found that the character was like a stereotype. And if Johnny Depp truly considers himself native American why would he want to play such a character?

 

[Hunter Rider]

Love this pic, the cinematography for the film looks like it will be stunning.

No ****. I thought it was stuffed lol. Guess that explains it. Though in a way that's even dumber.

I thought he was joking.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I don't know about the bird, but yeah this looks like has potential to be beautiful.

 

[TheVileOne]

Well yeah, Gore Verbinski is directing it. I mean look at Rango, that was an amazing looking movie. Verbinski isn't a hack, but still . . . a $250 million Lone Ranger movie.

 

[terry78]

In any other flick that train would be CG, but I assume they built or modified an actual train for this.

Yeah, but he is also the guy who directed the Pirates films and while I really love the first one and enjoy his two sequels, I don't know if I call them beautifully shot. Well, outside of Keira.

Agree on the budget. It just sounds ridiculous.

 

[TheVileOne]

Well I really like how the Pirates movies were shot. Even Dead Man's Chest has some neat ideas in it, but I find them extremely well shot, made. I think Verbinski is a very talented director, he just picks odd projects to me.

I think Pirates 4 was the clumsiest of them all though and I don't think Rob Marshall understands action, pacing, or emotional beats very well.

I can tell that making Pirates 3 was pretty much a nightmare for him, so after that I don't really understand why he would want to do something like this. I mean if you love westerns, make a back to basics, hard guerilla western. No matter what Hollywood says, westerns can still be hits. Look at Kevin Costner, after a disaster like the Post Man, he comes back and does a low budget western like Open Range and it did really well. That came out in 2003. So I mean, it's doable.

They did, and laid something like 5 miles of track.

I agree on Pirates 4. Marshall was a step in the wrong direction.

Perhaps it was the art direction, but I just didn't feel that they looked great. There are some shots and moments that are spectacular but on a whole I don't feel it.

With the western thing, while Pirates 2 and 3 may have been a nightmare, perhaps it is hard for him to downsize his vision? As if that he has tasted what a budget like that can do and when given the chance he couldn't resist? To make something that feels authentic.
