The Spider-Man Special

The Spider-Man Special

Issue 216 of Total Film magazine is all about your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

Inside the issue, we go on the New York set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , and take a look at just how the wily web-shooter went from comic-book hero to big screen blockbuster.

Plus we get the lowdown on petrolheaded action flick Need For Speed , The Lego Movie and star-spangled war movie The Monuments Men.

If that wasn't enough, Colin Farrell tells us about his varied career, and we put The Wolf Of Wall Street , American Hustle and The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug under our review spotlight.

Read a summary of the key features of the brand new interactive edition of Total Film .

Total Film 216 is available at all good newsagents from Friday 17 January.

Subscribe to Total Film magazine now and save money on the cover price! Plus you'll get our gorgeous subs covers delivered direct to your doormat, every month.

And because January can be a depressing old month, we've also got an amazing bumper giveaway. There's a FREE official Man Of Steel movie guide for every reader, plus three e-books ( Nexus by Ramez Naam, Scare Me by Richard Parker and Blackwood by Gwenda Bond) courtesy of Angry Robot, Strange Chemistry and Exhibit A.

Nymphomaniac

Nymphomaniac
