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…
