Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment's The Lone Ranger Rides On Dec. 17


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has chosen the week before Christmas (Dec. 17) to street The Lone Ranger (the ARR is 165 days and the box office tally was $89 million) on both DVD and as a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack.

Much maligned for its box office performance (and bloated budget), The Lone Ranger has yet to be seen by all that many people, thus a home entertainment push just in time for Christmas offers the studio an opportunity to remedy that.  There are too many cool things in this movie to pass up: non-stop action, train rescues, gun battles and Johnny Depp as Tonto (well, you be the judge on that one).

Disney packs the Blu-ray with tons of bonuses, including “Riding The Rails Of The Lone Ranger,” detailing the creation of a railroad track for the film; “Armies’s Western Road Trip,” which sees Armie Hammer (The Lone Ranger) guiding viewers on a tour of the locations; and “Becoming A Cowboy,” which shows how the cast was trained to shoot and ride; plus more.
