Watch Johnny Depp's Future Golden Globe Nominated Performance in the Rango Trailer

Another day, another trailer featuring Johnny Depp. You know what that means: The biggest actor in the world will have two more Golden Globe nominations to add to his impressive tally next year! Never mind that he only voices the chameleon at the heart of Gore Verbinski's Rango; if the Golden Globes can nominate Jennifer Love Hewitt as Best Actress in a Mini-Series, they can certainly find room for another shot of Depp.

An apt description of Rango would be High Noon filtered through one of Hunter S. Thompson's ether dreams. Rango comes to town, kills a hawk, gets made sheriff, and then has to protect everyone from a dastardly snake (voiced by Bill Nighy). It certainly looks like fun -- the kicker had me guffawing -- but will children want to see something as bizarre as what Rango is selling? Bear in mind, this is the same audience that will beg their parents to take them to Cars 2. Ain't no talking cars in Rango -- just a lizard wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

VERDICT: One for the adults?
