The Hobbit
Peter Jackson’s Hobbit films have not been short on controversial decisions – whether it be shooting at 48 frames-per-second or spreading the story over three films. SFX talks to Bilbo (Martin Freeman), Gollum (Andy Serkis), Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellen) and writer Philippa Boyens to find out what we can expect from the most eagerly-awaited trilogy since The Lord Of The Rings .
Supernatural
Showrunner Jeremy Carver talks exclusively about the changes for the Winchester brothers in the eighth season of demon-hunting hit Supernatural .
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
In the early ’90s, four adolescent reptiles ruled the world, with a motion picture trilogy, an animated series and a UK number one hit single just the tip of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ merchandise iceberg. Co-creator Kevin Eastman takes SFX back to the turtles' less than auspicious origins and explains how they achieved such success – as well as revealing the one item of merchandise that they turned down.
Arrow
Speaking of green-themed comic books, Arrow star Stephen Amell chats about Oliver Queen's choice of weapons, his decision to kill in pursuit of his goal, and the familiar faces he'll be encountering during the show's first season.
Massive videogames preview
SFX looks at the titles which will be eating hours of your time in 2013, including hotly-anticipated titles from the universes of Star Trek and Aliens, a Tomb Raider prequel with “more emotional intensity” and the final entry in the Crysis trilogy.
