It seems as if Jack White can do literally anything so it should come as no surprise that it’s been announced that White has signed on to write, produce and perform the score for Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ upcoming adaption of The Lone Ranger.
.
“Jack’s an amazing songwriter with a unique style,” Bruckheimer told Variety. “We’re thrilled to hear his fresh take on the William Tell Overture.” This will be the first feature score for White whose debut solo disc Blunderbuss was released on Tuesday.
.
Bruckheimer added that the idea to have White work on the score came from the film’s star Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski. “Gore hatched the idea and Johnny was thrilled with it,” Bruckheimer said. “We’re all very excited to have him on board.”
.
The film is currently filming in New Mexico and scheduled to be released on May 31, 2013. So are you more excited to see The Lone Ranger or to hear White’s score? Let us know in the comments section below as you listen to some White Stripes Radio.
