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)!

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?
