FEATURES:

2006 PREVIEW
Tick tock, tick tock... M:I-3, V For Vendetta, Superman Returns... The full skinny on the explosive movies that are going to, like, totally rock your world over the next 12 months.

JARHEAD
War. HUH! What is it good for? (Apart from re-using this line for the 787th time?!) Sam Mendes explains what took him, Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard into the desert for his Gulf War satire.

THE TOTAL FILM INTERVIEW: ANTHONY HOPKINS
He doesn’t do many interviews and he’s thinking about giving up on this whole acting lark. So we make the most of what could be one of our last encounters with Hollywood’s favourite Welshman.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION...
Hollywood’s hottest (and Morph) give you their tips on who’ll be heading home on 5 March with a Golden Baldie (or two) to stick on their mantelpiece.

STEVE COOGAN
Fast cars and faster women – but is he happy? The British comedian spills the beans on A Cock And Bull Story, Alan Partridge’s movie debut and 20 percent getting Courtney Love up the duff. And on that bombshell...

WHEN GUEST EDS GO BAD!
Peter Jackson is now taking a well-earned breather after editing last month’s Total Film. (And a grand job he did too, even if he did plug King Kong, oh, once or twice.) He wasn’t the only person we approached, though...

MARIA BELLO
Sharp, sassy and swearing like a fishwife, the History Of Violence star is our kind of actress. Over beer and pizza she tells Total Film why psychological thriller The Dark was too good to miss.

GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN’
50 Cent – Fiddy to his mates – talks us through his acting debut in Jim Sheridan’s autobiographical rap-to-riches tale. Which isn’t a bit like 8 Mile. Nothing like it, in fact. Honest.

REGULARS:

ROUGH CUT
The busiest movie buzz.
Daniel Radcliffe grows up! Tony Jaa returns! Kate Beckinsale talks vampires and PVC – again!
