The Rebel Issue

Issue 208 of Total Film magazine sticks it to ‘the man’ and celebrates cinema's most iconic rebels.

Leading the charge is Johnny Depp’s latest gamble, The Lone Ranger , which could well be an edgier shake-up of the Pirates Of The Caribbean formula.

Plus, we go on set with the most anarchic superheroes out there for Kick-Ass 2 .

On top of that, there are exclusive production diaries from trailblazer directors Edgar Wright and Guillermo del Toro, and we’ve got the full story on the strangest film you’ll ever see - Ben Wheatley’s A Field In England .

Also, you may have already heard that Total Film magazine is now available on your iPad in our award-winning interactive edition and it now costs just £1.99 per issue, or £12.99 for a whole year ($2.99 per issue or $17.99 yearly for the US and Canada, €2.39 per issue or €14.49 yearly for the Europe)! Read about the key features of Total Film's interactive iPad edition .

White House Down

White House Down

It may be the second POTUS-under-fire film out this year but Roland Emmerich’s White House Down promises eye-popping destruction courtesy of a maverick cop in a dirty undershirt. Die Hard in the West Wing, anyone?
