Johnny Depp is a convincing lizard

A new trailer

December 15, 2010 at 6:19PM

The first trailer for "Rango" was peculiar, and really didn't tell you much - but it made you wonder where they were going. Now we know: it's a story of a guy who's mistaken for a hero, and becomes one in the process of impersonating one. Somehow that seems very familiar - but it's the first time you've seen the story told like this. Looks great.

There's so many things to enjoy, but I keep coming back to the expression of the bird before, well, you know. It's pure Wile E. Coyote.
