TRIAL BY FIRE
CHRISTOPHER NOLAN DIVES INSIDE THE MIND OF HIS MOST COMPLEX PROTAGONIST YET IN THE TRUE-LIFE STORY OF OPPENHEIMER . TOTAL FILM SITS IN ON THE SOUND MIX TO LEARN ABOUT A FILM AS AMBITIOUS AS THE DIRECTOR HAS YET MADE, WITH A MIND-BOGGLING SCALE, AN INVENTIVE APPROACH AND AN ALL-STAR CAST GIVING A HISTORICAL BIOPIC THE BLOCKBUSTER TREATMENT.
RAKE'S PROGRESS
This time it’s personal for Tyler Rake in Extraction 2, as he hurls himself into a crazed mission with ties to his pained past. Total Film talks to star Chris Hemsworth, director Sam Hargrave and stunt coordinator Shane Habberstad about how they landed emotional punches among some of the best action sequences ever put on screen.
'Women are underestimated...'
After exploding in landmark TV shows like Euphoria and The White Lotus, Sydney Sweeney is now headlining acclaimed whistleblower drama Reality. With her ambitions showing no limits, the fast-rising star talks to Total Film about tackling tough material, moving into producing, and joining the superhero universe.
SHEFFIELD OF DREAMS
Almost 30 years after the barnstorming original surpassed all expectations, broke box-office records and earned four Oscar nominations, THE FULL MONTY is returning as a TV series. Can Gaz and co. rustle up another underdog hit while keeping their clothes on? Total Film meets the team to strip back the concept behind the new show.
HOT ROD
The Texan firebrand who paralleled Tarantino’s verve and rise is still making movies with the same maverick ethos he did back in 1992 with just $7k. Robert Rodriguez tells Total Film how resourcefulness is his filmmaking touchstone as he realises a long-gestating project with throwback thriller Hypnotic…
THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY
Margaret Qualley shot to fame with Netflix’s Maid and has been racking up an impressive body of work with an enviable list of auteurs. But despite her star rising, she continues to choose complex, challenging material over cookie-cutter roles. Total Film catches up with her ahead of the release of Claire Denis’ STARS AT NOON, a sweat-drenched, politically charged thriller that’s anything but conventional.
10 COMIC-BOOK MOVIES
Not all comic-book movies wear capes. While spandex-clad heroes dominate the big screen, you don’t always need a shot of super-serum to make a great comics-inspired film. In fact, there are several classics that you might not even realise sprung from the panels on the page. Total Film celebrates a mix of eclectic favourites, from romantic dramas to coming-of-agers, arthouse thrillers and crowd-pleasing blockbusters. Who said comic books were for kids?
