Disney has released a fourth trailer for Gore Verbinski’s The Lone Ranger, which stars Arnie Hammer as the masked ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto.  The new trailer emphasizes the transformation of Texas Ranger John Reid into the legendary masked vigilante, though it also includes plenty of reality-defying stunts involving what should turn out to be one heck of a train robbery.
 
Disney’s The Lone Ranger remains one of this summer’s few huge gambles, an attempt to revive the big budget western, a genre that has suffered from consumer apathy for decades.  Disney is pulling out all of the stops on its publicity barrage, which began last October with the release of the movies first trailer (see "First 'Lone Ranger' Trailer") and has continued unabated since then (see "New HD Trailer for 'The Lone Ranger'").
