Rocker Jack White is set to pen the musical score for upcoming movie The Lone Ranger, Walt Disney Pictures has revealed.

The studio announced that the Grammy-winning star will write, produce and perform the score for director Gore Verbinski's upcoming adaptation of the film, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer.

The Lone Ranger will mark The White Stripes frontman's first time scoring a feature film. The movie stars Johnny as Tonto and The Social Network's Armie as John Reid.

The film is set for release next year.

Jack's first solo album, Blunderbuss, was released this week. He previously wrote and performed the theme song to the 2008 James Bond film Quantum Of Solace with Alicia Keys.
