Actor Clayton Moore became an iconic figure in television history thanks to his portrayal in The Lone Ranger. His adventures in this Western drew audiences in for its five-season run that expanded beyond its medium. However, the image of the Lone Ranger’s costume is especially what continues to stick in the mind of its longtime fans. Moore once explained that he designed the costume himself.

The Film Noir Foundation puts across more impressive rescues in concert with the UCLA Film and Television Archive: a pair of independently-produced noirs released by Monogram in 1947, modest of budget but firmly rooted in the noir style. The Guilty is a Cornell Woolrich ‘ironic twist’ mini mystery involving troublemaking twins and a soldier suffering from Ptsd. High Tide is a hardboiled corruption tale starring the king of smart-talking newsmen, Lee Tracy. Especially rewarding disc extras give us long-form visual essays on Cornell Woolrich, actor Tracy, producer Jack Wrather and the ‘international’ director John Reinhardt.

Resurrecting the Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp must’ve sounded like one of the all-time Hollywood no-brainers when it was pitched to Disney in 2011. After all, the mysterious masked man used to be the all-American icon with the greatest chase-music (“The William Tell Overture”), the greatest sidekick (Tonto), and the greatest catchphrase (“Hi-yo, Silver, away!”). Plus, though Depp is playing a boldly reimagined Tonto opposite Armie Hammer’s Ranger, he was reuniting with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the creative triumvirate that made Disney billions with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. But getting The Lone Ranger into...

At the inaugural D23 Expo fan event back in 2009, Disney hosted its first Disney Legends ceremony to the general public. Since 1987, Disney has honored nearly 250 individuals within the company - both in the spotlight and background. Everyone from Julie Andrews and Tim Allen to lesser-known, but equally important figures, such as Bill Farmer (voice of Goofy) and Tony Anselmo (voice of Donald) have been recognized for his or her contributions. This August at the 2nd D23 Expo, the Legends ceremony will be held once again, hosted for a second time by charming, comical host Tom Bergeron from Dancing with the Stars. 12 new individuals are going to join the Legends family, and here is an opportunity to learn more about them before they accept their awards on stage on Friday, August 19th.
