Jack White will write, produce and perform the film score
for the upcoming Lone Ranger movie starring Johnny Depp.
The movie
is due out in May 2012 and it will be the first time the former White Stripes
front man has written a complete film score.
Producer
Jerry Bruckheimer told Variety he
was excited to have White on board and said Johnny Depp was
"thrilled" at the news.
White's
solo album, Blunderbuss, was released on Monday.
"Jack's
an amazing songwriter with a unique style. We're thrilled to hear his fresh
take on the William Tell Overture," said Jerry Bruckheimer.
The film
stars Johnny Depp as Tonto, the native American sidekick of the Wild West crime
fighter.
The Lone
Ranger himself is played by Armie Hammer, who played the Winklevoss twins in
The Social Network.
Jack White
does have previous experience of working on films.
He wrote
and performed the theme song to the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace with
Alicia Keys.
The
36-year-old played his first UK solo show in London on 23 April and also has
gigs lined up for June, including a performance at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend.
