Written by . Published: December 15 2012
Jack White has dropped out of plans to score Johnny Depp's new movie The Lone Ranger.
The former White Stripes star had signed on to compose the music for director Gore Verbinski's film, but he has been replaced by Oscar winner Hans Zimmer.
Announcing the news in a statement on Friday (14Dec12), Disney
bosses said, "Jack White, who had originally been contemplated to
score and has contributed several pieces of music to the
production, was logistically unavailable due to scheduling
conflicts that arose when the film's release moved to July of
2013."
Hans Zimmer has previously worked with Gore Verbinski on the
Pirates of the Caribbean films.
