The Summer Preview Issue

The Summer Preview Issue

You know summer is here when the biggest blockbusters hit our screens, and our Avengers Assemble cover stars are the first to throw down the gauntlet to the season's other contenders!

We also source EVERY film you need to see this summer, including those beyond the standard multiplex line-up, delving deep to find the hidden gems that'll brighten your summer nights.

There's also a chill in the air as we visit the set of Dark Shadows , Tim Burton's latest vampire feature, where we find Johnny Depp really doesn't mind looking a little off colour...

So whether you're after the hot Hollywood action or the cool indie delights, we've got you covered... no matter what the weather has in store.

Battleship

Battleship

Total Film goes head to head with Battleship director Peter Berg, to discover how he has turned a plastic board game into a $200m movie.

We also chat to stars Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård and Brooklyn Decker, and employ all of our willpower to resist using the 'You sunk my battleship line.' We may or may not have succeeded.

TF Classic: The Goonies

Hey you guys! Total Film revisits one of the best adventure movies of the '80s (nay, ever!), where booby traps, a one-eyed pirate, and a heart of gold inspired a generation of film fans. Oh and seeing Josh Brolin on a girl-bike is always funny...
