Disney Sets The Lone Ranger for Dec. 21, 2012

What's another blockbuster between friends? Disney has scheduled The Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer for release on Dec. 21, 2012. The Gore Verbinski-directed film joins The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Life of Pi and Judd Apatow's untitled Knocked Up continuation on the already crowded December calendar. Enterprising readers can start scheduling their holiday shopping times around these tentpoles accordingly. [Deadline]
