Verbinski cleared up some plot details. Rango (Depp) is a pet chameleon who lives in a terrarium. “He’s a thespian searching for an audience,” says Verbinski. “He’s made friends using the inanimate objects in his terrarium — he calls them all by name. And when we meet him, he’s in the process of putting on a play using the various objects.” Verbinski then alluded to Roadkill, an armadillo voiced by Alfred Molina: “Roadkill’s run over included in the origin of Rango’s demise, exactly where his terrarium is thrust from his car, and he results in the desert.”
Via a bizarre set of circumstances, Rango winds up at a town called Dirt, which is populated by all sorts of Mojave Desert wildlife. “This town is really hungry for a hero, and they get the fantastic pretender,” says Verbinski. “Rango has to ultimately be prepared for the difference between pretending and what’s real.” The director also mentioned that Rango, as an aquatic creature desperately in need of hydration, ironically finds himself obtaining involved in a very Chinatown-esque water subplot.
Already Rango comes off as an animated movie with more substance on its mind and much more tricks up its sleeve than most. And the way Verbinski went about recording his characters’ voices was a departure for an animated film. Usually, actors perform their lines alone in a very recording studio. But instead, Verbinski gathered his whole cast — including Depp, Timothy Olyphant, Abigail Breslin, Bill Nighy, Isla Fisher, Ray Winstone, and Harry Dean Stanton — and had them act out the entire film in a very studio during the course of a 20-day shoot. Utilizing a limited amount of props, sets, and costumes, the actors repeatedly tackled their scenes while video cameras recorded their performances.
“It’s not motion capture — we call it emotion-capture,” says Verbinski. “I didn’t want to give up the strategies that were developed in shooting live action, in which you try to optimize the possibility of capturing the awkward moment — the moment where things aren’t cerebral or manufactured. Everything in an animated movie is manufactured. There are no accidents. So we were attempting to encourage a kinetic, raw spark to the audio track.” Verbinski showed us some of this footage, and obviously, the view of Johnny Depp pretending to become a heroic cowboy lizard is simultaneously amusing and slightly disturbing.
