Here’s the first real taste of Gore Verbinski‘s upcoming animated feature Rango, which has Johnny Depp voicing the title character, a chameleon on the run from everyone and everything in the Mojave Desert.
Everything starts in the desert, the beginning of a long, funny chase scene in which Rango runs away from a preying bird. This scene stretches through the teaser, with little clips from a small desert town of animals spliced in between. It looks like Don Quixote meets High Noon meets any animated animal movie of your choice. John Logan (The Aviator, Sweeney Todd) wrote the script, so there are a lot of talented people involved.
Check out the teaser below [First Showing]:
Rango hits theaters March 18th, 2011.
