First Showing has got its hand on a new poster for "Rango", revealing the title character that has Johnny Depp providing the voice.
The photo captures a chameleon with a very thin neck wearing a flowery shirt and standing with a background of what looks like a desert.
Earlier June, a teaser trailer for the film has been released but it does not give much explanation about the plot.
So far, it is only known that the story focuses on the chameleon having an identity crisis which goes on an adventure to discover its true self.
Some other characters from the movie can be seen at the official site, RangoMovie.com.
Beside Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin and Bill Nighy are also among the cast ensemble for the animation.
Gore Verbinski directs this comedy movie which will be distributed by Paramount Pictures on March 4, 2011.

Based on the new Deathly Hallows trailer, Harry Potter's becoming quite the gutsy grown-up.
Fans have watched our favorite wizard-in-training battle all kinds of evil over the last decade.
Now the postpubescent Boy Who Lived will finally meet He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named for their climactic showdown (in 3-D).
At the start of the sneak peek, Harry and Lord Voldemort come face to face, knowing one of them must die. From there a montage of action-packed scenes flash before our eyes: Grigotts' dragon barreling through a wall, Harry's battle with Voldemort's snake Nagini, Ron's attempt to destroy a horcrux and the all-out destruction at Hogwarts as the result from the war on Voldemort's Death Eaters.
Oh, and let's not forget Harry and Ginny share a smooch.
Then, Harry and Voldemort are together again aiming their wands at each other in a magical duel — neither backing down.

Toy Story 3 - The Countdown Is On!
[Report Abuse]

Most sequels deserve to be recalled.
Few filmmakers understand that better than the creators of Toy Story 3, which has taken more than a decade to bring to the big screen.
Not that the delay was on purpose, mind you.
“We wanted to make 3 immediately after 2,” says director Lee Unkrich, who co-directed Toy Story 2, as well as Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc. “I never would have imagined it would take this long. A lot of it just had to do with the political machinations at the time.”
The fates of Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) were, in fact, entangled in the corporate drama that saw Disney and Pixar almost split up.
The divorce seemed so likely that Disney — which owned the rights to make more Toy Story films — began developing a third instalment without Pixar's involvement.
But when the two companies merged in 2005 and Pixar's John Lasseter became the head of Walt Disney Animation those plans were scrapped.
“It was on the eve of that deal that John told me he wanted to start working on the film.”
Five years later, the Pixar-produced Toy Story 3 opens June 18 with the beloved characters being donated to a day-care centre when their owner, Andy, leaves home for college. New additions to the cast includes Ken — as in Ken and Barbie — voiced by Michael Keaton.
Obviously, the hope is audiences will believe the wait was worth it. And expectations, naturally, are enormous.
Many industry insiders are expecting Toy Story 3 to top the summer box office.
Consider that last year, Up — about a grouchy old man voiced by Ed Asner — raked in nearly $730 million globally based on the strength of the Pixar brand.
Similarly, in 2008, the esoteric Wall-E earned $521 million worldwide. Pixar has never suffered a flop and Toy Story is arguably its most popular, enduring creation.
Last fall, when Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were re-released in 3D, the double-feature grossed $30 million, despite their popularity on DVD. The pump is now primed for the threequel.
As for what audiences can expect, Unkrich emphasizes that Toy Story 3 will continue, not just the relationships established in the previous films, but its themes. In other words, rather than just another chapter, it will complete a trilogy.
“People often ask about the pressure to be as good as the others, but frankly we got this question with the second one as well,” Unkrich says. “We know that pressure's out there, but we can’t let it consume us. We just have to do what we know how to do.”
Which is? “Tell a story really well.”

Scepticism Towards The New A-Team Movie
[Report Abuse]

Eighties TV star Dirk Benedict has blasted the new A Team movie – even though he appears in it.
The Faceman, who is playing as Columbo at Wolverhampton's Grand Theatre this month, hasn’t seen the finished film yet.
But he grouses: “They’ll screw it up”.
“They will do to it what they did to Battlestar Galactica, probably,” he complains.
Dirk, 65, who shot to fame as the womanizing Lt Starbuck in the original Battlestar Galactica series back in the late 70s, was upset when the 2004 ‘reboot’ recast Starbuck as a woman.
“It wasn’t the show I made,” he says. “I played an iconic character, but they turned him into a girl! When you do Star Wars you don’t turn Han Solo into a girl, Hannah Solo.
“When you do Rio Bravo you don’t have Madonna get her boots out to play John Wayne.
“Create another character instead.”
Dirk also starred as smooth-talking con artist Templeton “Faceman” Peck in the A Team, about a group of Vietnam veterans turned soldiers of fortune who would fashion assault vehicles out of odds and ends to escape from the sheds and warehouses they were invariably locked up in.
The new film, to be released in July this year has Liam Neeson in the role of team leader Hannibal Smith (first played by the late George Peppard) and The Hangover's Bradley Cooper as Face.
Dirk has a cameo along with Dwight Schultz, who was the team's pilot. Howling Mad Murdock.
“You’ll miss me if you blink. I kind of regret doing it because it's a non-part,” says Dirk.
“They wanted to be able to be able to say: ‘Oh yeah, the original cast are in it’ but we’re not.
“It is three seconds. It's kind of insulting.”
Ironically, Dirk counts being in the A Team as one of the happiest times of his career – even though it effectively killed it.
“Nobody would hire me after the A Team,” he explains. “I was too closely associated and it was a stupid show.
“The industry didn’t like it. None of us went on and had a career after that : George, Dwight, Mr T. We were not well-loved.
“But doing Battlestar and the A team were, professionally, the best times of my life. Everything after that was so pale and boring, which I think was why I never really cared if I did another TV series.”
Instead he concentrated on raising his sons, George and Roland, after gaining custody following his divorce from their mother, Toni Hudson.

The Sex And The City Ladies Are Back
[Report Abuse]

After the close of the long-running HBO series “Sex and the City,” which continues to enjoy success on DVD and through national and international syndication, the demand for further adventures of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda remained strong.
In September of 2007, the first feature film version of “Sex and the City” went into production and was released worldwide in the early summer of 2008.
The film was a global phenomenon, becoming a box office smash and broadening “Sex and the City's” worldwide fan base.
With that feature film debut, director Michael Patrick King knew the time was right for another film.
“One of the reasons I came up with the `Sex and the City 2’ movie, the feeling of it, the tone of it, is because of the audience on the first one,” says King. “When the movie opened, I would see lines of women and they were all dressed up and going to a party. I thought to myself, ‘I want the sequel to be the continuation of the party. I want it to be the party.’"
“It's very moving to be part of something that people have connected with and have strong feelings about,” says Sarah Jessica Parker.
“The people that are warm and excited about Miranda's life or Charlotte or Samantha or Carrie—it's remarkable. Those who have committed their time and money and heart—that will never happen again in my life and I’m cognizant of it all the time.”
“I think the actresses embody something very special -- a vibrancy that has to do with women's lives,” says King. “I feel this enormous love towards these characters and this brand and a gratefulness that it's happening for them, and these four characters still live on and we get to see them grow and change.
“To write the lives of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha is a responsibility because each of those women is reflected in the viewing audience,” continues King.
“I think with four women characters, you have a pretty wide range of types of choices, and you have to be very, very diligent about where you think the women might be, because I think, the success of it all, is that it has dealt with what people are dealing with in their own lives.
Maybe not in the same glamorous way, but the emotions are the same. It's about moving forward, and the fun thing about writing these characters, is that I’m not afraid to write the choices they make that move them in a different direction, because that's what happens in life all of the time.”
Despite the resolution of all of the first feature's major plot lines, there remains plenty to say about these four women.
As producer John Melfi says, “For Sex and the City, it's pretty exciting to go to the next chapter and see what happens after ‘happily ever after.’ Well, this is what happened. These four characters start off in a realistic situation, and then we throw them on the road together and make a road picture -- a buddy picture.”
