@DobbyClub06 The Hair Blair Bunch just missing out 🥲

@mattmaytum Thanks mate - much appreciated

@JamesMottram Thanks James - no way we could’ve done it without you x

Gladiator II is on the cover of Total Film’s upcoming issue 356, which hits print and digital newsstands on October 10. It’s with a heavy heart that we announce that this will be the final issue of the print magazine. We like to think that this final print edition is a showcase of everything that Total Film magazine strived for, with a thrilling blockbuster on the cover, A-list interviews, fair and impartial reviews, smaller interesting movies nestled alongside the more mainstream fare, and above all else a passion for cinema radiating out of every page. In the cover feature, we’re talking to Ridley Scott, Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and more about returning to the Colosseum for Gladiator II. From epic set pieces, to Scott’s unique approach to shooting, to Maximus’ legacy, it’s the perfect primer to this autumn’s most anticipated sequel. Print subscribers will receive their issue with an exclusive cover shortly (and our subscriptions team will be in touch shortly to discuss next steps). So for now, it only leaves us to say a huge thank you to all the staff, writers, designers and photographers who made Total Film print magazine what it was over the past 27 years. And we’d also like to express our endless gratitude to everyone who has read, subscribed to or otherwise supported the magazine. While the magazine itself is going away, our archive content and expert movie and TV writing will continue to live on at gamesradar.com/totalfilm.

Pick up a copy of the new issue of @totalfilm - out today! - to read all about Timestalker. @alicelowe has worked hard to make this film happen and it deserves support!

... @jamie_graham9's razor-sharp MaXXXine feature; @JamesMottram bringing us the Horizon chats with Kevin Costner and co; @JordanFarley's excellent Instigators interviews with Matt Damon and Doug Liman; and @sab_astley's deep-dive into The Blair Witch Project for its 25th anniversary...

Red hot new issue out now! Inside @Leila_Latif collapses the fourth wall to talk Deadpool & Wolverine with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, @JamesMottram rides out with Kevin Costner and co for Horizon, @jamie_graham9 hits the seedy streets of 80s Hollywood for MaXXXine, @sab_astley tackles the legacy of The Blair Witch Project and I preview The Instigators with Bourne-again duo Doug Liman and Matt Damon

@London_Lou No more drugs for that man!

Watching Face/Off for the first time in about 20 years, cackling with glee. It rocks so hard. I should’ve done this years ago.

Had a great mix of films to discuss on the podcast this week with @JamesMottram *and* you get @mollycaroline7’s very fun chat with Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Out now!

I got to chat to Dev Patel and Jordan Peele about the ace Monkey Man on this week's pod, plus @JamesMottram is back for reviews of a varied bunch of films including The First Omen, Scoop, Io Capitano and Evil Does Not Exist

Was great chatting Oscars and new releases with @Leila_Latif this week, and @JamesMottram is on interview duties talking Robot Dreams with director Pablo Berger!

So in the new issue of @totalfilm I got to unpack Netflix sci-fi 3 Body Problem, from Dan Weiss and David Benioff, the creators of Game of Thrones, and Alexander Woo. Never mind winter is coming - there's something even more crazy on the way...

@mattmaytum @janevgcrowther @JordanFarley @Totalfilm_MattL Congrats Matt - richly deserved!

It's now email-signature official... Immensely grateful to @janevgcrowther for the opportunity and guidance, and excited to get to work with @JordanFarley @Totalfilm_MattL and the gang. Let's go!

@Carra23 Fully agree. This is totally shameful.

This is embarrassing. Liverpool for years now have got deals done quickly with no fuss. If you don’t think he’s worth 50M move on, if you really want him pay it. Also not sure why LFC aren’t in for Caicedo, yes it’s a lot of money but Liverpool got big money for JH/FAB 🤷‍♂️

@tashajagger_ It sucks but it happens all the time, sadly. Increasingly, I’d say.

Got to write about two of the best films this year in the new issue of @totalfilm. A deep-dive into Celine Song's joyous #PastLives. And a chat with @HarrisDickinson for his brilliant British film #Scrapper. And that's just part of a fraction of the juicy movie content!

Something for the weekend… BFI Film Academy presents: Christopher Nolan's stunning first feature FOLLOWING, followed by a Q&A with stars Jeremy Theobald and @lucyrussellact Lucy Russell. Screening at @chapterartscentre on Saturday 15 July at 6pm. #christophernolan #following

@RogerRossWill Do you have a publicist I can connect with? I’m trying to arrange an interview with you for UK release of Cassandro, if you’re availabe. Or if you could follow me, I can DM you direct. Thanks.

@London_Lou @CentralPictureH And there you were last night telling me you had a shit view…

Taken early on at the Passages party on the roof of @CentralPictureH. L: Haymarket with Big Ben in the distance R: looking west along Picadilly.

Eric Bana masterclass @Mediterrane_MT. The Aussie star was asked how he deals with fame. “Live in denial and pick up dog poo.” Good answer.

“Being a composer is a bit like being punched in the face a lot.” Great masterclass with Britain’s @DANIELPEMBERTON @Mediterrane_MT
