"Jack's an amazing songwriter with a unique style," producer Jerry Bruckheimer told Variety. "We're thrilled to hear his fresh take on the William Tell Overture."
Based on the 1950s TV series, "The Lone Ranger" will follow the story of a masked crime fighter and his Native American partner.
This isn't White's only new project. The singer-songwriter just released his debut solo album, "Blunderbuss." He plans to be on the road to support the new release. His itinerary includes a stop at Lollapalooza in Chicago.
The former White Stripes rocker has contributed music to films in the past, but this is his first full-length score. He had a song in the James Bond film, "Quantum of Solace," and also recorded several songs for the "Cold Mountain" soundtrack.
"The Lone Ranger" will open May 31, 2013.
