The Rebel Issue
Issue 208 of Total Film magazine sticks it to ‘the man’ and celebrates cinema's most iconic rebels.
Leading the charge is Johnny Depp’s latest gamble, The Lone Ranger , which could well be an edgier shake-up of the Pirates Of The Caribbean formula.
Plus, we go on set with the most anarchic superheroes out there for Kick-Ass 2 .
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 .
And Total Film magazine is now available on your Android device from Google Play !
The Lone Ranger
Johnny Depp is back in the saddle with his Pirates Of The Caribbean posse for a wild western that could just be the tentpole of the summer.
We chat to Depp, the masked man himself Armie Hammer, director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer to find out why they’re focusing their collective attention on a character made famous on decades-old radio and TV serials.
Hi-yo Silver, away…?
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?
