THE BRIDE!

This ‘30s-set feature brings back horror icon the Bride of Frankenstein (well, sort of...), as Bale’s lonely Creature resurrects a dead woman (Buckley) for what rapidly becomes a punky, feminist riff on lovers-on-the-lam movies like Bonnie And Clyde. We speak to writer/director Maggie Gyllenhaal in an in-depth 10-page feature.

Daredevil: Born Again

The Man Without Fear’s struggles continue in the second season of the Disney+ show, set about six months after the first. Wilson Fisk is Mayor, and martial law has been imposed in New York. Can Matt Murdock reclaim the city? We find out what’s in store from showrunner Dario Scardapane.

One Piece

The second season of the live-action take on the best-selling manga adapts its Alabasta Saga, placing Monkey D Luffy and his crew of Straw Hat pirates on the Grand Line ocean route. Showrunner Joe Tracz tells us what to expect from the latest batch of eight episodes.

Ready Or Not: Here I Come

Back in 2019, horror-comedy Ready Or Not saw Samara Weaving’s newly-wed bride Grace discovering that her new family of in-laws have a tradition of ritual sacrifice... Sequel Here I Come continues the bloody mayhem! We speak to directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, plus Weaving and her co-stars Shawn Hatosy and Kathryn Newton.

Worldbreaker

In this post-apocalyptic actioner, humanity must battle monsters from an alternate dimension called “Breakers” – and thanks to an infection that targets those with Y chromosomes, women are leading the fight. We take a trip to Belfast to observe filming, and speak to director Brad Anderson and actor Billie Boulet.

Designing 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

Our latest delve behind-the-scenes takes a deep dive into the stunning monument to the dead created by Ralph Fiennes’s character, Dr Kelson. Production designers Gareth Pugh and Carson McColl talk us through every stage of its conception and creation, from planning it out with meat skewers and manufacturing thousands of bones, to drilling holes into rocky ground to plant uprights at the location.

But that’s not all, feature-wise! We also bid a tearful adieu to Outlander in the company of showrunner Matthew B Roberts, ahead of the time travel romance show’s final season, chat with Neil Jordan about his first science fiction novel, and get Gareth L Powell to answer our author questionnaire.

Red Alert

And the big features are just the tip of the iceberg! As ever, our news section, Red Alert, is crammed with insights into yet more movies, TV shows, comics and books. In the spotlight this month: the new movie of Enid Blyton classic The Magic Faraway Tree, Andrew Stanton’s centuries-spanning sci-fi drama In The Blink Of An Eye, Pixar’s beaver-bots tale Hoppers, Invincible season four, time-travel animation Arco, Nineteen Eighty-Four-themed documentary Orwell: 2+2=5, “immersive audio experience” The Devil’s Sound, and the latest Alias, Creepshow, Guardians Of The Galaxy and Star Wars comics.
