While today's youngsters might only know the Lone Ranger as a masked Armie Hammer, the older and wiser generations will remember the character's time on the small screen, and perhaps even on radio. The Lone Ranger has
been a piece of Americana for decades, iconic for his do-gooder
mentality, his company with the musical stylings of William Tell, and
his signature catchphrase: "Hi-yo, Silver, away!" So, with such a long
and familiar history, can we expect Gore Verbinsky's new film adaptation
to prove a successful reboot attempt?
Many old shows and movies have
been given the remake treatment in this particularly nostalgic era, with
some of the updated forms representing true glory, and others a
grumbling question about why they even bothered. Check out our list of
12 of the best (and worst) big and small screen reboots, and decide for
yourself where The Lone Ranger stands in this category.
