Rush

Chris Hemsworth’s rise to superstardom has been pure lightning in a bottle.

Total Film catches up with the mighty Thor himself to find out how his next movie, racing biopic Rush , will show you what he’s really made of…

Matt Damon

Prolific yet humble, he’s made a name for himself as one of Hollywood’s hardest working risk-takers, with a nose for quality and an A-list phonebook.

“I’m just a married guy with kids,” says Matt Damon.

As well as a catch-up with the Bourne superstar, we also profile his Elysium rival Sharlto Copley.

Filth

Irvine Welsh’s hardcore novel following the epic downward spiral of a coke-snorting, sex-crazed copper finally hits the screen.

With a killer soundtrack, trippy tone and a career-best turn from James McAvoy, is Filth the new Trainspotting ?

Lena Headey

From Dredd ’s drug baroness, 300 ’s Spartan’s ruler to Game Of Thrones ’ scheming matriarch, Lena Headey’s played some mean muthas.

TF meets the feminine powerhouse.

Were The Millers

Stripteases, swollen nads and snogging…

Total Film climbs aboard raw road trip comedy We’re The Millers , which hopes to tickle audiences this summer.

Performance

In 1970, Mick Jagger made his acting debut in one of the most controversial movies ever made.

But the sex, drugs and rock’n’roll on screen were nothing compared to the shenanigans going on behind the camera…
