Abigail Breslin tells us all about voicing the character of Priscilla, while director Gore Verbinski talks about using interactive and fun techniques, to bring Rango’s quirky characters to life on the big-screen...

Johnny Depp reteams with Pirates director Gore Verbinski to create another fabulous, off the wall character. Depp’s voice – pitched somewhere between Corpse Bride and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas – emanates from a digitally animated chameleon called Rango.

The story follows the comical, transformative journey of Rango (Depp), a sheltered chameleon living as an ordinary family pet, while facing a major identity crisis. After all, how high can you aim when your whole purpose in life is to blend in? When Rango accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging town of Dirt -- a lawless outpost populated by the desert's most wily and whimsical creatures -- the less-than-courageous lizard suddenly finds he stands out. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, new Sheriff Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt...until, in a blaze of action-packed situations and encounters with outrageous characters, Rango starts to become the hero he once only pretended to be. He’s a wannabe sheriff at the mercy of all the perils an Old West town can throw at him. As a macabre chorus of narrating owls point out: The Lizard. He’s going to die…

Rango hits cinemas on 4 March 2011.
