“CINEMACON MALE STAR OF TOMORROW AWARD”
DISNEY TO RELEASE THE LONE RANGER
ON JULY 3, 2013
“Having already received acclaim for his notable supporting roles in such films as The Social Network, Hammer is poised to really break out this year with his starring role as the fictional icon of American culture, The Lone Ranger,” noted Neuhauser. “For this reason we cannot think of another talented young actor more deserving of being this year’s ‘CinemaCon Male Star of Tomorrow.’”
Hammer will star this summer in the highly anticipated action-adventure film The Lone Ranger, to be released by Disney on July 3, 2013. Hammer stars as the title character opposite Johnny Depp’s Native American warrior Tonto. Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into The Lone Ranger, a legend of justice -- taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption. A Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films presentation, The Lone Ranger is directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski, with screen story by Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio and Justin Haythe, and screenplay by Justin Haythe and Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio. The Lone Ranger also stars Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.
Following his breakout role as the Winklevoss twins in the award-winning film The Social Network,” Hammer went on to star opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar Hoover biopic J. Edgar, earning him a 2012 SAG nomination for “Best Supporting Actor” for his portrayal of Clyde Tolson. He also starred as Prince Alcott in Mirror Mirror,” opposite Julia Roberts and Lily Collins in the Tarsem Singh Dhandwar directed film.
