Growing up in my teen years, I'd avidly buy Empire, Film Review, and Total Film. The opinions, the knowledge, and the education you'd get from brilliantly written film magazines were invaluable. This is such sad news, and the newsstands will be a lesser place without it.
Gladiator II is on the cover of Total Film’s upcoming issue 356, which hits print and digital newsstands on October 10. It’s with a heavy heart that we announce that this will be the final issue of the print magazine.
We like to think that this final print edition is a showcase of everything that Total Film magazine strived for, with a thrilling blockbuster on the cover, A-list interviews, fair and impartial reviews, smaller interesting movies nestled alongside the more mainstream fare, and above all else a passion for cinema radiating out of every page.
In the cover feature, we’re talking to Ridley Scott, Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and more about returning to the Colosseum for Gladiator II. From epic set pieces, to Scott’s unique approach to shooting, to Maximus’ legacy, it’s the perfect primer to this autumn’s most anticipated sequel.
Print subscribers will receive their issue with an exclusive cover shortly (and our subscriptions team will be in touch shortly to discuss next steps).
So for now, it only leaves us to say a huge thank you to all the staff, writers, designers and photographers who made Total Film print magazine what it was over the past 27 years. And we’d also like to express our endless gratitude to everyone who has read, subscribed to or otherwise supported the magazine.
While the magazine itself is going away, our archive content and expert movie and TV writing will continue to live on at https://t.co/fE69ZjtoCI.
Wasteland. Kevin Williamson's post - Dawson's Creek creation featuring a pre-Rizolli & Isles Sasha Alexander. 13 episodes, only 3 aired in the US, was given a graveyard slot on Irish television.
For all the flack that seasons 7-11 get, and how 8 and 9 suffered without David Duchovny, there's still some magnificently produced television horror to be found. Roadrunners, Via Negativa, Audrey Pauley, Hellbound, to name a few.
X-Files is kinda weird because even though there's very obviously a golden age and a pretty noticeable decline, if you pick just a random episode from any season you have pretty even odds that you'll have a good time
Jamie Lee Curtis has reached out to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and vowed to choose her words about the MCU more carefully. https://t.co/p5l9diWRwB
@ChrisHewitt Could an argument be made that a large part of the emotions from these scenes are coming not just from the death of the characters but from seeing these actors saying goodbye to their time in their respective franchises, though, and coming back somewhat negates it?
#Longlegs feels like a cross between a Stanley Kubrick-directed serial killer thriller from the 90s and an episode of Chris Carter's Millennium. Suffice to say I liked it.

I think many have forgotten how fun and experimental storytelling on television should be. I love a great serialized show, but I miss when they took creative detours. Could you imagine The Sopranos without Pine Barrens?
The ‘Lost’ episodes you can safely ignore during your Netflix rewatch, as they lack character growth, mythology, plot development, or supernatural activity. https://t.co/8cSJKeNZ0Q
I really liked the movie, but the relatively sizeable audience that was also at the screening I went to on Thursday night was pretty muted upon leaving. #furiosa
#Furiosa is off to a slow start at the box office.
The "Mad Max" prequel earned $10.2 million across Friday and preview screenings. https://t.co/UrVY5ycQrM
