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...
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.

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
Brand new @totalfilm in which I got very lucky. Spent time with the mighty #JasonSchwartzman to talk shoes, family and @AsteroidCity. And dived into one of the year's best horrors, Aussie bros Danny and Michael Philippou's chiller #TalkToMe. @A24. Don't miss!!
The gang’s all here. At the world premiere of #Killersoftheflowermoon #Cannes2023 This one’s going to be special.

New @totalfilm alert! This one was a real treat: I got to talk Ant-Man and Wasp with Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and the gang. #PhaseFive #Quantumania Plus @jamie_graham9 on Jonathan Majors. All hail #KangTheConqueror
The new issue of Total Film fronted by #JohnWick: Chapter 4 is on sale now! Also featuring, #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania, Jonathan Majors, Pearl, Scream VI, Seth Rogen and tons more. Full details here: gamesradar.com/total-film-la…
Randall Park’s #Shortcomings is a lot of fun. Witty, bright, on-the-nose, very modern rom-com. And I want the spin off with @timothycsimons character, please. #Sundance2023
If Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror is anywhere near as troubled/torn/stacked as his protag in #MagazineDreams then the Avengers are in trouble. Stellar turn. #Sundance2023
Chloe Domint’s Fair Play is a coruscating corporate battle of the sexes thriller. Thunderously acted by Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich. Best thing I’ve seen so far at #Sundance2023
