What with Man of Steel, Iron Man 3 and Star Trek 2 dominating next summer's blockbuster field, it's been a little bit too easy to forget about The Lone Ranger.

While Dark Shadows might have put a gothic, Helena Bonham Carter-starring question mark over Johnny Depp's box office appeal, he's hoping that teaming up with Pirates director Gore Verbinski might bring some of the magic back. Oh and Helena Bonham Carter crops up again.

A new teaser trailer gives us a more substantial look at the film, which also stars Armie Hammer and Tom Wilkinson, and it looks promising.

But will it have Pirates-style breakout appeal?

The Lone Ranger will be released on August 9th 2013.
