The Love Of Cinema

Superman with James Gunn | Picturehouse

Sam Clements speaks to director James Gunn about his new film, DC Studios' Superman. 

DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, helmed by writer-director James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad), Superman brings the original superhero into a newly imagined universe with a singular blend of epic action, humour and heart.

Working as a journalist and keeping his identity under wraps, Superman (David Corenswet, Twisters) embarks on a journey to reconcile his intergalactic heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent, while the threat of Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) looms large. 

Driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind, Superman finds himself fighting for truth and justice – but his beliefs are out of place in a world that views this as old-fashioned.

F1: The Movie with Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer | Picturehouse

Hope Hopkinson talks to director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer about their new film, F1: The Movie. 

Dubbed 'the greatest that never was', Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was Formula 1’s most promising racer of the 1990s – until an accident on the track nearly ended his career.

Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. 

Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world.

He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie, intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

Shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport, Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski brings the same death-defying, edge-of-the-seat thrills to the world of racing in F1: The Movie.

Hope Hopkinson talks to director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland about their new film 28 Years Later, in cinemas now. 

It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. 

One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway.

But when one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new story set in the world created by 28 Days Later.

How To Train Your Dragon with Dean DeBlois | Picturehouse

Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to director Dean DeBlois about his new film How To Train Your Dragon. 

From three-time Oscar® nominee and Golden Globe winner Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, comes a stunning live-action reimagining of the film that launched the beloved franchise. 

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society. 

With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. 

As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.
