This Week...

Like much of the world, and especially all film-goers, our thoughts today are with the victims of the Aurora shooting in Colorado, and with their families.

The Bourne Legacy
Jeremy Renner leads our most action-packed issue ever!

Jeremy Renner takes up where Matt Damon left off in a spy thriller that promises less amnesia than its predecessors but just as twisty-turny a plot and just as much action. We spoke to writer/director Tony Gilroy, stars Renner and Edward Norton and producer Frank Marshall to get the scoop.

Also in our new-look issue!: Lawless, Gangster Squad, The Untouchables, Prometheus, The Great Gatsby, Rachel Weisz and much more.

Exclusive: The Imposter Trailer
"Daring, funny and deeply disquieting" is how Empire's review describes The Imposter. The last time we used the word 'disquieting' may have coincided with the release of Zookeeper, but here, in its proper context, it perfectly captures the dark majesty of Bart Layton's astonishing documentary. Click to watch the film's new UK trailer.

    50 Shades Of What Now?
    Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is talking about it so I can resist no longer. Let's discuss 50 Shades Of Grey - as a novel, as a potential film franchise, as a phenomenon. What is it, how bad is it, who cares, and what sort of film is it going to make. Spoilers for all three books will follow, to the extent that you can spoil something with this little plot.

    The Empire Podcast #20
    This week, there's a very big movie out in cinemas - The Dark Knight Rises - and a couple of smaller ones, including the critically acclaimed history of hip-hop, Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap. The directors of both films appear on this week's podcast, with Christopher Nolan and Ice-T offering up some wise words to balance out our manic waffle.

    Comic-Con 2012 Podcasts
    What do Jackie Chan, Karl Urban, Neill Blomkamp and Guillermo del Toro have in common? Why, they all appeared in this year's very special Comic-Con podcasts, recorded daily on the ground in San Diego in the spare moments between massive film panels. So to hear our team - Chris Hewitt, Nick de Semlyen and James White - dissecting the big news of the 'Con and welcoming all those big names, click here to have a good look...

    Christopher Nolan Movie Poster Mashups
    In honour of The Dark Knight Rises - and in honour of movie-based punnery generally - here are our beloved forumites mash-ups of Christopher Nolan and his movies. Warning: contains near-lethal quantities of appalling wordplay. In other words, you're going to love it.

    Greta Gerwig And Zoe Lister-Jones On Lola Versus
    In Lola Versus, Greta Gerwig takes on some of middle America's hardest challenges: getting jilted just before the altar, dating in New York and trying to outdo a stripper at pole-dancing - but nothing prepared her for an interview with Empire's James White. Seriously, nothing. Also facing Mr. White's questioneering is the writer/director/star of Lola Versus, Zoe Lister-Jones, who explains how you go about making your first studio film. The answer? With great difficulty.

    The 13 Best Posters To Come Out Of Comic-Con
    Take the world's greatest geekathon, police it with Stormtroopers and chuck in guest appearances from movie and gaming heroes and you've got Comic-Con 2012, a maelstrom of cinematic treats. But amid the fanboy fervour it's easy to forget that this is also the place studios come to show their wares and unveil the artwork they've created to leave us all slavering for upcoming films. Luckily, we were in San Diego hunting down the coolest posters and promos from this year's 'Con, so here are the finest we found...

    Massive 16GB USB sticks and tasty macarons as Xbox launched their winter games - which also looked pretty tasty.

    Nurses learn to do stitches on chicken breasts.


    Jeremy Renner likes Mumford & Sons.


    Edward Norton is best buds with Mark Ruffalo but has so far only seen bits of The Avengers.


    Tony Gilroy's favourite '70s thriller is Klute.


    Morgan Freeman was sporting a New Zealand baseball cap this week.

    Star Wars Call Me Maybe. Great questions answered. The Penguin attacks London! Sort of. Joss Whedon's biggest monster movie ever.

    If you have any timewasters to share, then e-mail them in to us.


    The Dark Knight Rises

    With spectacle in abundance and sexiness in (supporting) parts, this is superhero filmmaking on an unprecedented scale. Rises may lack the surprise of Begins or the anarchy of Knight, but it makes up for that in pure emotion. A fitting epitaph for the hero Gotham deserves.

    Also Out
    The Brooklyn Brothers Beat The Best Alliteration ain't ace.
    Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap Ice-T's bass odyssey.
    In Your Hands Stockholm syndrome comes to Paris.

    This week's video trailers and clips. Every week, our video player will update to show trailers and clips from the week's movie releases listed above.


    We Bought A Zoo

    Zoo is the antithesis of edgy, an overlong, all encompassing experience that despite Crowe's integrity and lightness of touch doesn't deliver the emotional experience of, say, Jerry Maguire or Almost Famous. Still, it is good to have the righteous dude back.

    Swingers It's still money.
    Act Of Valour Gung-no.
