DMULTIVERSE. NOT JUST a cool-sounding scientific term — like subspace, isotope or Bunsen burner — but a truly tantalising concept. It means that anything, literally anything, can happen. In one dimension of the multiverse, you’re currently holding not a film magazine but a medium-sized gibbon (watch out, they’re bitey). In another, the cover story for this issue is Crocodile Dundee 8. However bananas the idea, even if it features actual bananas, it can become a reality. Such is the power of the multiverse.
And it’s important to know this, because over the next 12 months or so we’re going to be plunged into glorious cinematic chaos, as some of our favourite movie characters get versed — multiversed, if you will — in the possibilities of this new reality.
