      <description><![CDATA[Soon we&#39;ll see how producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski have resurrected The Lone Ranger for a contemporary audience, with Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the masked gunman leading the way. The legendary duo will band together to fight greed and corruption. The original American Old West icons appeared in several film serials, as well as on television and radio. A lot of critics have argued that these characters have no relevance in today&#39;s cinematic landscape, but that didn&#39;t stop Walt Disney from trying.

	A new trailer for the film is heavy on the action, emphasizing that this isn&#39;t your grandpa&#39;s Lone Ranger. We&#39;re hoping to see more humor, similar to what Verbinski&#39;s Pirates of the Caribbean series brought to the table...<br /><a href='http://www.movies.com/movie-news/new-lone-ranger-trailer/12291?wssac=164&amp;wssaffid=news'>Read More</a><br /><br /> <a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" target="_blank"> <img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" border="0" alt="" /> </a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Today Microsoft held a big event to pull back the current on its next generation console. Considering how integrated gaming devices now are with movies and home entertainment, we&#39;ve pulled together all the relevant info that&#39;s relevant to movie buffs who may want the device for more than just gaming.

	What&#39;s it called?
	Xbox One

	How much will it cost? 
	No word on that yet, but at minimum it&#39;s expected in the $599 range.

	When&#39;s it coming out? 
	No precise date, but at some point later this year. One of the console&#39;s flagship games, Call of Duty: Ghosts (which is being written by Syriana and Traffic screenwriter Stephen Gaghan), has a release date of November 05, 2013, though, so expect the Xbox One either on that date or before it.

	For a while now I&#39;ve wondered if we&#39;re re-entering the age of fantastic Hollywood thrillers, and Side Effects certainly has all of the ingredients necessary - a fantastic cast, a fantastic director, and a murder mystery - but it just doesn&#39;t gel in the ways one would think. Rooney Mara stars as the depressed wife of a once-successful finance man (Channing Tatum) who goes on an experimental new drug when he&#39;s released from prison. It puts her in a pill-induced funk, someone dies, and the question becomes is she a murderer or a victim of bad medicine...<br /><a href='http://www.movies.com/movie-news/new-blu-rays-may-21/12274?wssac=164&amp;wssaffid=news'>Read More</a><br /><br /> <a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" target="_blank"> <img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" border="0" alt="" /> </a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[If you&#39;re a fan of Edgar Wright&#39;s &quot;Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy&quot; (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and the upcoming The World&#39;s End), then we suggest keeping tabs on the director for the next month or two as he&#39;s having a bit of fun looking back on both Shaun and Fuzz prior to the release of The World&#39;s End. Over at his official website, Wright posted images from a deleted scene in Shaun of the Dead that hilariously featured a bunch of zombie kids eating the ice cream man instead of his ice cream.&nbsp;

 Wright explains, &quot;Here&rsquo;s a morsel of a deleted scene. I had seen an ice cream van with the amazing slogan &lsquo;Often Licked, Never Beaten&rsquo; and had the idea to see zombie kids snacking on an ice cream man. We shot it from inside the Jag...<br /><a href='http://www.movies.com/movie-news/see-images-from-deleted-39shaun-dead39-scene-where-zombie-kids-eat-ice-cream-man/12287?wssac=164&amp;wssaffid=news'>Read More</a><br /><br /> <a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" target="_blank"> <img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" border="0" alt="" /> </a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This past weekend,&nbsp;Star Trek Into Darkness&nbsp;finally bowed in theaters across the United States. After a grueling four-year wait between&nbsp;J.J. Abrams&#39; first critically acclaimed film relaunching the franchise and its inevitable sequel, much of the box office landscape has changed. With those changes come a great deal of expectation, some of which&nbsp;Into Darkness&nbsp;failed to live up to financially.

 I think it becomes easy to forget, though, that until 2009&nbsp;Star Trek&nbsp;didn&#39;t exactly qualify as a &quot;blockbuster&quot; franchise except for a couple of rare instances. Out of&nbsp;the first 11 released films in the franchise, only two of them broke $100 million at the box office, and adjusted for inflation only four of those&nbsp;11 films have broken...<br /><a href='http://www.movies.com/movie-news/geek-beat-here39s-why-39star-trek-into-darkness39-didn39t-underperform-at-box-office/12283?wssac=164&amp;wssaffid=news'>Read More</a><br /><br /> <a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" target="_blank"> <img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" border="0" alt="" /> </a>]]></description>

	No, we&rsquo;re not just recycling stories from five (or 10) years ago; Aykroyd appeared on Larry King Now recently and spilled the beans on where the project is currently, while also revealing some tantalizing plot details.

	The actor explains to King that the new script from Gene Stupnitsky, Etan Cohen and Lee Eisenberg is:

      <description><![CDATA[We told you the other day that Disney has taken its first step into the Star Wars animated world by announcing a new series called Star Wars Rebels, which premieres later this year. What makes this unlike any other animated Star Wars programs is that it takes place between Episodes III and IV, allowing animators to play in a space very similar to that of the original trilogy. In this new video, Pablo Hidalgo and executive producer Dave Filoni discuss the new show, noting that much of it is inspired by the iconic concept art Ralph McQuarrie worked on for the original trilogy. The image above is one they point out in the video below, teasing the very familiar--and very epic--space battles still to come.

 Additionally, Filoni, who teases the entire show by sitting in front of a...<br /><a href='http://www.movies.com/movie-news/star-wars-rebels-series/12284?wssac=164&amp;wssaffid=news'>Read More</a><br /><br /> <a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" target="_blank"> <img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" border="0" alt="" /> </a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In spite of its mostly positive critical reception, Star Trek Into Darkness has been getting slammed by fans and general moviegoers for a number of reasons. It&#39;s not enough like a true Trek film. It&#39;s script is just not up to snuff with the best of its attributes. And it&#39;s a complete failure at the Bechdel test even with Uhura (Zoe Saldana) kicking butt in a few scenes. Actress Felica Day has made the most notable complaint on her website, asking why for instance there are no women in the Starfleet leaders circle since this is centuries in future, among other faults. &quot;From a director who is so amazing, who created wonderful female characters in Alias and Felicity,&quot; she wrote, &quot;I was super bummed by this.&quot;&nbsp;

      <description><![CDATA[We talk a lot in this column about Marvel&rsquo;s &ldquo;phases,&rdquo; a word that Marvel Studios&rsquo; President Kevin Feige uses to denote the TV season-like structure of their release slate. Phase One consisted of Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America and ended with The Avengers. Phase Two just began with the smash success of Iron Man 3 and will be followed by Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and cap off with The Avengers 2. And then what?

 Well, that&rsquo;s a question Marvel is trying to answer for&nbsp;itself right now, as all of the films in Phase Two, with the exception of Avengers 2, are currently in production.&nbsp;Marvel is&nbsp;also facing a future in which it may not want to pay any of the...<br /><a href='http://www.movies.com/movie-news/marvel-phase-3-movies/12278?wssac=164&amp;wssaffid=news'>Read More</a><br /><br /> <a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" target="_blank"> <img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/movies.dart/rss;dcopt=ist;env=prod;sz=300x100;" border="0" alt="" /> </a>]]></description>
