Johnny Depp – Rango BREAKING NEWS
By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
Johnny Depp’s venture into animated land as the lead character RANGO in the movie titled the same name grossed an estimated $38 million while playing at 3197 movie theaters this weekend.
Director and co-writer Gore Verbinski, took a different approach to RANGO by having the cast perform “live” later to be morphed into their respective characters.
Depp has to be considered a major draw here as the public loves him when he plays off the wall characters such as the late Ed Wood and Hunter S. Thompson, but not so much when he plays someone relatively normal. Trailers and marketing have also played their part well, though a certain degree of confusion still exists as to whether RANGO is made for kids or stoned adults.
