Johnny Depp as...

We’ve seen Johnny Depp as a drunken pirate and a notorious gangster. We have also seen him as a whimsical guy who makes candy for a living, a loving brother and son and even a studly bad boy; but we have never seen him as… a chameleon?

Directed by Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp lends his voice to the animated feature, “Rango”.

Written by James Ward Byrkit, Rango is a chameleon aspiring to be a hero who ends up finding himself in a Western town filled with bandits. As he continues his journey through the crime-filled town, he is forced to become what he set out to be - a hero, in order to protect it.

“Rango” is said to still be in production but the release date is set for March 4, 2011! Watch the trailer below.
