Massive makeover gives smarter movie lovers more of what they crave

Massive makeover gives smarter movie lovers more of what they crave

Movie franchises get recharged all the time, but this month our sister magazine Total Film is getting the full reboot treatment and we’ve got the exclusive sneak peek of what to expect when the all-new mag hits newsstands.

It’s six years since the last major refresh of Total Film so high time for a do-over - Spider-man would be appalled it took this long! With four new sections covering off everything great in the world of movies past, present and future, plus the industry’s most-honest reviews, the new-look Total Film promises exclusives and ratings that keep readers smart about Hollywood.

Subscribe with their special re-launch offer to get the first 3 issues for £5, including the relaunch issue! 

So, what’s new? Follow us if you want to know…

From the epic packaging to the stunning front cover, the new Total Film looks and feels like a genuinely indulgent product. New typefaces and layouts make easily to navigate while a truly blockbusting bigger size means imagery looks properly big screen.

To celebrate its new look Total Film has launched an exciting supplement series on the greatest movies ever made. Each deluxe 36-page supplement explores the 100 greatest films by genre, with the first in the series covering Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Build up a reference library of the most acclaimed and unmissable moments in cinema and tick them off as you watch them. Every completist’s dream!

4. The world's sharpest film reviews

Total Film’s army of movie experts watch and rate every new release and the mag’s reviews are fiercely independent so readers always know what's worth seeing and what to avoid – and Total Film’s famous ‘predicted interest curve’ is still in place.

The epic new trivia-packed section Total Film Buff seems to have been created with the sole intention of helping us to ace the movie round at our local pub quiz each month. Total Film Buff is a celebration of cinema and useless information. In other words, it promises to give you all the knowledge you need to become a movie genius of superhero proportions.

Total Film is renowned for its exclusive access to future classics and intimate interviews with iconic performers and the new mag is absolutely packed with revelations from movies you’re dying to see already and movies you may not even know about. Whether it’s a blockbuster release or an indie gem we love the way the new Total Film brings you the full lowdown.

We love Suicide Squad so we’re chuffed to see that there’s a great offer related to DC’s anarchic anti-heroes with the new Total Film. New subscribers get free collectable Pop! Vinyl figures of Joker and Harley Quinn, in addition to the all-new mag and the Must-See Movies supplements. What’s not to like? More details are available here.
