Trailer Watch: 'Rango' and 'Fast Five'

 

The first full-length trailer for Rango has arrived online. The animated feature reunited Pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2 and 3 director Gore Verbinski with his Pirates star Johnny Depp in what looks like a hilarious animated Western send-up with all the peculiar quirk we've come to expect from most of Johnny Depp's characters.

 

In the film, due out on March 4th, Depp plays a chameleon who dreams of becoming a swashbuckling hero only to accidentally find himself in a town plagued by bandits – a town that, funnily enough, is looking to their new visitor to help save the day. It sort of reminds me of The Three Amigos with a twist of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Check it out below and let us know what you think.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, on the other side of the tracks we have the first trailer for Fast Five. For this fifth installment in the popular underground racing franchise, Vin Diesel and his crew must dodge a badass, take-no-prisoners drug lord and a seriously aggressive federal agent (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) in what looks to be the most action-packed Fast and the Furious movie yet.

 

All your franchise favorites have returned (Diesel, Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson and Jordana Brewster), and though Diesel's character claims they're only taking on "one last job" in the trailer, expect there to be more jobs if this installment takes off at the box office. Check out the trailer below and let us know if you have a need for more speed. 'Fast Five' crashes into theaters on April 29th.
