ANT-MAN: Mined in controversy and dotted with production potholes, one of Marvel’s most important but less well known characters gets his big screen due courtesy of director Peyton Reed and stars, Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas.
FANTASTIC 4: Courting fan outrage with his casting decisions and sparking rumours with his on-set behaviour, Josh Trank’s superhero reboot was nevertheless a labour of love for actors Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell.
THE AGE OF HEROES: Right now, cinematic superheroes rule the roost, but why are they so popular, and will this pop cultural domination last?
SUPERHEROES WITHOUT SUPER POWERS: Not all superheroes fly, walk through walls, have super human strength or wield magical hammers… and FilmInk takes a look at a fistful of not-so super superheroes.
KEVIN FEIGE: One of only a few legitimate “producer auteurs” in the history of cinema, we track the career of The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s main man, who has been largely responsible for the studio’s big screen success.
Superheroes aside, this epic issue also features in-depth stories on Ruben Guthrie, Mr. Holmes, Trainwreck, Ted 2, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Terminator: Genysis, Magic Mike XXL, Insidious, Straight Outta Compton and much more.

The most eagerly awaited film of the year is finally here, eventually bringing with it a host of sequels and spin-offs, all existing in a shared Star Wars narrative universe.

As female action heroes make their presence felt in Hollywood, bona fide superstar and Oscar winner, Jennifer Lawrence, brings one of the great modern franchises to a much heralded close.
FEMALE DIRECTORS ON THE RISE
The likes of Ana Lily Amirpour, Gillian Robespierre, Talya Lavie, Sophie Hyde, Maggie Carey, and Nikole Beckwith might not be household names just yet, but these under-forty filmmakers are well and truly on the way up.
CATHERINE HARDWICKE
After setting the template for the whole franchise with the first Twilight movie, this famously gritty filmmaker (Thirteen, Lords Of Dogtown) tells a warm tale of female friendship with Miss You Already, starring Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette.

    Infini: He went against the grain with 2007’s action fantasy Gabriel and now Australian director Shane Abbess kicks against convention once again with this sci-fi thriller.
    The Top Ten Australian Sci-Fi Films: We don’t make many science fiction films in Australia, but this list of fascinating titles proves that we punch way above our weight when it comes to fantastical cinema.
    Director Feature: Lynn Shelton: After her eye catching 2009 effort Humpday, indie director Lynn Shelton upped the ante for her Emily Blunt-starring follow up Your Sister’s Sister, and now delivers her most accessible film yet with Laggies starring Keira Knightley and Sam Rockwell.
    PLUS Entourage, Pitch Perfect, Clouds Of Sila Maria, Partisan, Wyrmwood, Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck and much more.

We also run the gauntlet with Katniss Everdeen in THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 and take flight with Michael Keaton and the all star cast of BIRDMAN. Not only that, we travel into CHARLIE'S FARM, get creepy with Jake Gyllenhaal in NIGHTCRAWLER, go back to school with MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN and head to Sunnyvale for FAT PIZZA VS. HOUSOS.

THE YOUNG BAZ LUHRMANN DIRECT CROCODILE CREEK: Before The Great Gatsby, before Australia, before Strictly Ballroom, the young Baz Luhrmann took the help of the 1986 community theatre production, Crocodile Creek, in the Queensland town of Rockhampton, and quickly proved himself to be a master director in the making.
COLLISION COURSE - WHEN HOLLYWOOD MAKES THE SAME MOVIE TWICE: Hollywood's writers, directors, and studio execs have an unfortunate habit of having the same great - and sometimes not so great - idea twice, as our twelve examples amply and repetitively prove.
