You Talkin To Me?

Film quotes pose as questions. Film stars try to cope.

Patricia Arquette

From David Lynch to Martin Scorsese, Patricia Arquette has worked with some of film’s most distinctive directors. But she also saw opportunity on the small screen just before TV’s new ‘Golden Age’, and she’s now shining in a new binge-worthy drama. Total Film meets a risk-taking talent not afraid to make her voice heard.

Beyond The Matrix

The Lion King

Whether or not you consider them necessary, there’s no denying the market for Disney’s nostalgic live-action redos: The Jungle Book, Aladdin and Beauty And The Beast combined have taken more than $3bn at the box office. The Lion King is the latest, and although it isn’t really live action at all, its CGI visuals are so photorealistic it might as well be.

Double Leopardy

With the Losers’ Club all grown up into the likes of Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy, and with darker themes, stronger scares and a pissed-off Pennywise, It Chapter Two promises adult content. Total Film quivers on set of the horror event of the decade.

Cold Pursuit: Liam Brings The Plough Factor…

Watch the trailer for Cold Pursuit and you could be forgiven for thinking, “Do we need another geri-actioner starring Liam Neeson on a roaring rampage of revenge?” Sure, it was fun and exhilarating in Taken, seeing Oskar Schindler crack skulls – after a career of gravel-throated gravitas, it represented one of the biggest star-rebrands since another mature actor with a similar-sounding name boarded Airplane! to leave grounded drama behind. But we’ve since had Taken 2 and 3, Non-Stop, Run All Night and The Commuter.

Avenging Angel

She's the super-powerful Avenger who was Nick Fury's last call during Infinity War's genocide. Now it's time for CAPTAIN MARVEL to shine in an origin story that's the MCU's first female-led instalment.

G Force

British actress Gemma Chan continues her meteoric rise with a "badass" role in CAPTAIN MARVEL. Total Film talks transformations, #TimesUp and tea with the seemingly unflappable star taking her future into her own hands.
