This Week...
It's alive, ALIIIIIIIVVVEEE! A mere decade or so after everyone else on the internet, including your great-aunt Sally, Empire has launched its very own podcast. We'll be bringing you our unique blend of movie news, reviews and interviews weekly in audio format for your listening pleasure. For this first instalment, Paddy Considine joined myself, Chris Hewitt, Ali Plumb and Phil de Semlyen as we discussed this week's releases and much, much more. Warning: contains pedantry and punning. Also this week, the final five UK contestants in our Done In 60 Seconds competition, have emerged after weeks of voting. And as if that weren't enough, we have a plethora of interviews and features on the site to keep you going if it rains this weekend. And let's face it, it probably will... Helen O'Hara

Will Zach Braff's New Play Change Your Life?
If you're film fan looking for wildly entertaining theatre in London over the next couple of months, you're thoroughly spoiled for choice. At the Gielgud Theatre, there's Graham Linehan's acclaimed adaptation of Ealing classic The Ladykillers, while down at the Old Vic, comic farce-sterpiece Noises Off has proved so popular that it's transferring to the Novello Theatre on March 24. | | | |

The Done In 60 Seconds UK Finalists Announced
We're down, as they say on the X-Factor, to the Final Five. You have voted in your thousands, and only a handful of 60-second films remain to compete for the coveted prize of attending the Jameson Empire Awards on March 25 and hobnobbing with the stars. But first we turn to all of you one last time. Take a fresh gander at the five finalists (it'll only take five minutes, after all!) and choose the very, very best to go forward. There can be only one, after all… | |

|  | | Peter Lord's Pirates! Diary Part 5
"Ahoy, Scurvy Swabs. Well mateys, the voyage is just about over. Weigh anchor, clap on all sail, put the helm over and set a course for the movie theatre! Don't worry, I won't carry on with that stuff, it's too tiring for all of us. But the fact is, we've finished the movie. " |
|  | | The Avengers Trailer Breakdown
A new trailer for Marvel Avengers Assemble (as it's to be known in the UK) has arrived online, and it has all the massive money shots that the first trailers lacked. Want superheroes fighting each other just because? Check! Want a glimpse of Loki's army? Present! And do you want a ma-hoosive and clearly terrifying Big Bad? Well it's your lucky day. Read on as our resident Professor of Avengersology, Chris Hewitt, dissects this latest promo. |
|  | | Cinematic Love Triangles - Did They Pick The Right One?
This Means War sees a girl (Reese Witherspoon) forced to pick between two guys (Chris Pine and Tom Hardy) who are both highly-trained, highly-dangerous CIA superspies. As decisions go, it's a tough one for Ms. Witherspoon, but she's not the first woman (or man) forced to choose two hot properties. Just take a look at our movie love triangles and tell us who you'd have gone for... |
|  | | Minnie Driver On Hunky Dory
Set in a South Wales high school back in the sticky, sweltering summer of 1976, Hunky Dory is a musical drama with a shake in its hip and a tambourine in its hand. Don't be put off, though. It's no dippy-hippie take on Glee. This film is 100% Bowie endorsed, with an extra dose of ELO and The Velvet Underground for good measure. With Minnie Driver playing an idealistic teacher turning her teenage students into junior rock stars, it's a tribute to a heady time for music and an even headier time of life. Driver and her director, the talented Marc Evans, chatted to Empire about the film. |
|  | | This Means War Interviews
Want action, explosions and sex scenes neatly packaged in one film? Then This Means War is for you. FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck are best mates and super-spies. Lauren (Reese Witherspoon) is an unhappy single gal who starts dating both of them (so not that unhappy). Soon the boys are using their professional skills to spy on Lauren and win her heart. We were lucky enough to catch up with Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and director McG (Tom Hardy was ill, poor lamb) to talk about first dates, mix tapes and protein shakes… |
|  | | Markus Schleinzer Talks Michael
Markus Schleinzer worked as Michael Haneke's casting director for 12 years and is now viewed as the Old Fox's protégé. At Haneke's prompting, Schleinzer has stepped-up to the director's chair with his debut Michael. Directed with an icy grip and clinical detachment, it's a film about a 10-year-old boy's abduction and imprisonment from the offenders' perspective. Schleinzer tells Empire about the intense controversy the film has created... |
|  | | Project X Cast And Crew Interviews
Our reviewer wasn't keen on it, but if you're still unsure whether to see found-footage teen movie Project X, have a gander at this interviews with producer Todd Phillips and director Nima Nourizadeh, as well as the guys - Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper and Jonathan Daniel Brown - and girls - Alexis Knapp and Kirby Bliss Blanton - who starred in the film before making up your mind... | | | |
