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…

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.
