Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Academy Award winner Gore Verbinski, “The Lone Ranger” is a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes.
Johnny Depp stars as a newly imagined Tonto and Armie Hammer plays the masked lawman himself—the Lone Ranger.
Tickets for the premiere event have been donated by Disney to the American Indian College Fund, which will offer them for sale to the public.
Because Disney is also underwriting the entire cost of the premiere, 100% of the revenues received by the American Indian College Fund for the tickets will be used for scholarships and other support for Native American students. Tickets are priced at $1000.
Time Warner Cable, a title sponsor of the world premiere of Disney / Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” will stream the event LIVE from Disney California Adventure Park. “The Lone Ranger” opens in theaters July 3, 2013.
