[artist id="1667142"]Jack White[/artist] has always kept very busy, no matter what creative muscles he may be flexing or with which band -- be it the White Stripes, the Raconteurs or the Dead Weather. In addition to the release of his first [article id="1682719"]proper solo album, Blunderbuss,[/article] on Tuesday (April 24), Disney announced that White will make his first foray into the world of film scoring by writing, producing and performing the soundtrack for "The Lone Ranger."

For those who might be unfamiliar with the upcoming film starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer and directed by Gore Verbinski ("Rango" and "Pirates of the Caribbean"), the big-screen retelling of the classic TV series is spinning the traditional tale on its head. The Ranger's trusty Native American sidekick Tonto (Depp) will be the main character in the film, with the Lone Ranger (Hammer) taking the backseat this time around.

Depp has previously told MTV News that he has "interesting" plans for the character and is eager for audiences to see Tonto and the Lone Ranger in a whole new light. "I like the character. I think I have interesting plans for the character, and I think the film itself could be entertaining and very funny," he said. "But also I like the idea of having the opportunity to make fun of the idea of the Indian as a sidekick -- which has always been [the case] throughout the history of Hollywood. The Native American has always been a second-class, third-class, fourth-class citizen, and I don't see Tonto that way at all. So it's an opportunity for me to salute Native Americans."

With Depp's and White's versatility at play in this production, audiences are definitely in for a unique moviegoing experience when "The Lone Ranger" hits theaters May 31, 2013.
