Daniel Radcliffe describes Horns as "rock 'n' roll"
10 hours ago
Daniel Radcliffe has done a sterling job shaking off the shackles of type-casting since graduating from Hogwarts, more than earning his place in the Future 100 in issue 207 of Total Film magazine. Inside the issue, we look at movies, stars and trends shaping the future, and we chat to Radcliffe about his eclectic slate, including beat-lit flick Kill Your Darlings, and demonic adaptation Horns. On the latter, the Alexandre Aja-directed adaptation of Joe Hill's novel, Radcliffe told us about how the film evades any easy genre...

Total Film caught up with Watson this afternoon in the Croisette’s swanky Carlton hotel, where she told us all about the attraction of taking on a role that’s worlds apart from Hermione Grainger… “It’s so topical, it’s so present – it’s holding up a...

Christopher Nolan in talks for Bond 24?
17 May 2013 2:10 AM, PDT
Given his status as the world’s premiere director of large-scale event cinema, it was perhaps inevitable that Christopher Nolan would become linked to the vacant director’s chair on Bond 24, and sure enough, that’s exactly what’s happened. The Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye reports that Nolan is in early talks with Bond bigwigs Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, with a view to the director stepping into the position recently vacated by Sam Mendes. Our instant reaction to this one would be that with Nolan embarking upon...

The recent behind-the-scenes featurette for apocalypse comedy This Is The End made much of its wide array of celebrity cameos, and the latest clip follows a similar pattern, with Emma Watson shacking up with the boys at James Franco’s house. With all of La seemingly a burning wasteland outside, Watson tips up clutching an axe and talking about an impending zombie holocaust. Naturally, this is disturbing news, although Franco seems more concerned about how the sleeping arrangements are going to pan out... Take a look, below: ...

17 May 2013 12:02 AM, PDT
Fast & Furious 6 is in cinemas now, and the franchise has been on quite a journey since The Fast And Furious put the keys in the ignition back in 2001. As well as the literal journey, location-hopping around the globe, F&F has seen its cast taken apart, tuned up and re-assembled, and plenty of cars have been destroyed along the way. Which makes it all the handier to have this infographic, detailing the cast members, locations, cars, and - crucially car wrecks, as a handy catch-up before you see the new film. Check out the...

16 May 2013 11:31 PM, PDT
A new red-band trailer has arrived for The Hangover Part 3, in which Alan reminisces about the adventure so far, before revealing that he must leave the Wolfpack for good. Naturally, this resolution lasts for all of five minutes, as it isn’t long before the boys are on the road again, in over their heads in another outlandish adventure. This time, their troubles are all the work of Leslie Chow, who owes a lot of money to some very angry people. One of who, surprisingly enough, is “Black Doug”, from a mix-up in the first Hangover. ...

Brad Bird confirms interest in Incredibles sequel
16 May 2013 11:14 PM, PDT
With superhero sequels ten a penny these days, its somewhat surprising that we’ve yet to see a follow-up to 2004’s The Incredibles, although according to Brad Bird, there could yet be a sequel coming our way. “I have been thinking about it,” admits the director in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “People think that I have not been, but I have. Because I love those characters and love that world. I am stroking my chin and scratching my head. “I have many, many elements that I think would work really well in another...

Martin Scorsese talks new movie: Cannes 2013
16 May 2013 11:21 AM, PDT
In Cannes to raise funds for his long-cherished project Silence, Martin Scorsese sits on a yacht in his best grey suit, sipping champagne. “The subject matter is very close to my heart,” he tells Total Film. “I’ve been working on it since I first read the book [Shusaku Endo’s 1966 masterpiece of the same name] in 1989.” Having finally overcome legal matters and wrangled a workable script by scribe Jay Cocks (The Age Of Innocence, Gangs Of New York), Scorsese hopes to shoot in 2014. He describes the project as a “smaller film”...

The Bling Ring reaction: Cannes 2013
16 May 2013 5:35 AM, PDT
Sofia Coppola has made a career out of lensing lost souls blighted by ennui and emptiness, and her fifth film, The Bling Ring, spies the same subject from a different angle. Playing in the Un Certain Regard section, Coppola’s achingly hip, down-with-the-kids movie takes for its inspiration a Vanity Fair article entitled ‘The Suspects Wore Louboutins’, and recounts the strange 2008-2009 tale of the Hollywood Hills Burglars. And so we’re greeted with a gang of rich, disaffected teens who aid their lifestyle by ransacking the homes of the...

Leonardo DiCaprio talks Django Unchained: exclusive video
16 May 2013 4:19 AM, PDT
Leonardo DiCaprio was one of several astonishing supporting actors in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. As he was so deeply immersed in his character - despicable plantation owner Calvin Candie - DiCaprio didn’t participate in a great many interviews in the build-up to the film’s release. So, when we were offered an exclusive video featurette taken from the upcoming Blu-ray release, we snapped it up - and you can watch it below. In the clip, DiCaprio discusses everything from working with Tarantino, to comparing his...

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. producer says Luke Cage is not in the show
16 May 2013 3:00 AM, PDT
Ever since the first teaser footage was revealed for Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., rumours have begun to fly concerning which Marvel heroes might be making an appearance. However, fans putting two and two together have apparently been coming up with five, particularly in the case of J. August Richards’ character, who had widely been assumed to be none other than Luke Cage. Cage was one of the first African-American characters to head up his own comic-book, but according to show producer, Jeffrey Bell, that isn’t the part Richards...

Shane Black explains his version of The Mandarin
15 May 2013 11:40 PM, PDT
Whether or not you were a fan of Ben Kingsley’s take on seminal Iron Man antagonist The Mandarin, there’s no denying that his portrayal provided one of the major talking points surrounding Iron Man 3. For those who have yet to see the movie, turn back now, as the discussion gets a little spoilery from here on in... While many were delighted by the switcheroo that revealed the fearsome terrorist to be a drug-addled old luvvie simply playing a part, others were predictably horrified by the diversion taken from the source material. ...

15 May 2013 11:26 PM, PDT
The first trailer for horror anthology follow-up V/H/S/2 has made its way online, and fans of the first film won’t be disappointed with the amount of blood, nudity and general mayhem contained in this first few minutes of footage. Once again the carnage kicks of when an unsuspecting couple settle down to watch a bizarre collection of videotapes, each of which contains something more horrifying than the last. From mass suicides to unnecessary surgery via a spectacularly exploding corpse, there’s something for everybody here. And by...

Karl Urban talks Dredd sequel
15 May 2013 11:11 PM, PDT
Karl Urban has been discussing the possibility of a sequel to Dredd, and says that despite the film’s relatively poor box office showing, there could yet be scope for a follow-up. Made on a budget of $45 million, the film grossed just $35.6 million worldwide, meaning that a sequel had initially looked unlikely. However, according to Urban, there may yet be demand for a second film... “Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with Alex Garland this morning,” says Urban. “It’s not off the agenda. Clearly everyone has woken up to the...

New trailer for Riddick: watch now
15 May 2013 2:09 PM, PDT
Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for sci-fi sequel Riddick, in which Vin Diesel returns as the titular musclebound hard-case. “This ain’t nothing new,” growls our hero in his gravelly voiceover, and indeed, the latest film seems to be made up of the same granite-tough badassery as its two predecessors. The plot sees Riddick marooned on a hostile planet, the predatory occupants of which soon have him raising a distress flare. Sadly for him, the cavalry isn’t entirely benevolent either... Take a look, below... ...

15 May 2013 9:25 AM, PDT
The first official still from Terrence Malick’s Knight Of Cups has been released online via The Hollywood Reporter, to tie in with the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Footage from the film - which stars Christian Bale and Natalie Portman, as well as an eclectic cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Teresa Palmer and Antonio Banderas - will be shown to potential investors at the fest. Said to be a treatise on fame and excess, the first image doesn’t give much away with regard to the secrecy-shrouded plot. With Bale frolicking in the surf,...
