When I was a workie at Empire, they had me pack goodie-bags for a week. At TF, they read my writing and hired me. I'd joined the dream team – and we powered the mag's circulation past 100k. It was a brief, exciting, unforgettable time before the mag’s wings melted in the sunlight
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.

The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out:
▪️ No drop in revenue
▪️ 65% fewer sick days
▪️ 71% less burnout
▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial
The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.
Imagine where VR would be right now if Meta used about a 20th of that Horizon budget on porting more games like they did with RE 4 VR (& had their Japanese marketing team do all the commercials)
Some of the US commercials make it seem like they forgot how to have fun in VR 🤔
