@jewiss It really is. Sad times for print media. I've enjoyed pulling together all the tech round-ups over the years! I'll still be popping up in other titles from time to time though...
Gutted that the upcoming issue of Total Film will be the very last print edition. Wanted to write for the mag ever since I was at uni, and I’ve been lucky enough to be a regular contributor for over a decade now. Big thanks and all the best to the fantastic team!
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.
Sad, sad news that Bill Anders has died in a plane crash.
One of the first three humans to escape Earth & travel to the Moon & took one of the most famous & important photographs in history, Earthrise.
Never shared this 16mm image of him before, feels appropriate today.
Ad Astra.
I was lucky enough to get a preview of The Moonwalkers, an immersive experience of the moon landings, narrated by Tom Hanks! (Featuring incredible Apollo mission photos remastered by @AndySaunders_1 )🚀 Go see it! https://t.co/6X7o46aUqP T. Hanks 📸: Justin Sutcliffe

Less than 24 hours left to get this podcast about NASA’s space shuttle off the ground. Please join me in backing the brilliant team behind #13MinutesToTheMoon if you can! 🚀 In the meantime, enjoy this snap of my space shuttle-shaped Easter egg https://t.co/Y7dV9D27J0
Meet the crew of Artemis II — they will be the first humans to travel to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972, and will launch atop NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion capsule as soon as late 2024:
Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen
13 Minutes to the Moon is one of the very best podcast I've ever listened to, and the team is getting back together to make a new show about the space shuttle! Check out the Kickstarter to get involved👇
Day 5 of our @kickstarter campaign to make a new podcast with @scirad & @AndrewLuckBaker who created & wrote #13MinutestotheMoon with me. This one’s about Space Shuttle, we’re calling it #16sunsets https://t.co/JKMLbw21pb
Finally went to see The Fabelmans today and absolutely loved it. No one moves the camera like Spielberg. Also enjoyed him popping up at the start to thank the audience for coming to see it at the cinema! Damn classy.
