|  This Week... We hardly need to say this - you already have it circled in red on your calendar, we're sure - but the Jameson Empire Awards take place this weekend, and it's going to be mega. As we speak, the red carpets are being vacuumed and the goodie bags filled, and all of us are busy working out the logistics of a brave new dawn for the awards as we live-stream our red carpet interviews for the first time ever . Yes, you can (virtually) join the fun live and see the news as it happens, so come back here on Sunday night for full coverage of what promises to be a massive knees-up a dignified celebration of all that is best in movies, with some of the industry's biggest and best names in attendance. You voted for the winners, so make sure you're there to hear the full results and share the laughs. Helen O'Hara

What We Learned From The Latest Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer
We've had an announcement trailer, a teaser trailer and - if you were lucky enough to catch it - the first nine minutes of the movie on IMAX screens. Now there's a new international trailer for the film and it has a few new tidbits to reveal. Here's what we took from the latest clips - containing some spoilers, or at least guesses-at-spoilers. For much, much more on the film, pick up next week's new issue of Empire for the full story... | |
|  | | The Empire Podcast #53
In this week's Empire Podcast, Ryan Reynolds talks about the proposed Justice League movie (as well as that infamous Deadpool spin-off script of his), and Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman tell the world the current state(s) of play for Bridesmaids 2 and the upcoming Arrested Development series on Netflix. Then there are reviews for this week's releases - including The Croods, Identity Thief and Jack The Giant Slayer - as well as your questions answered and more than a few news stories... |
|  | | 23 Cute Movie Characters That Could Kick Your Ass
The Croods is the latest in a long line of movies to introduce a character that initially seems as cute as a button - aw, there's a nice tusked white-tiger parrot thingy! - but which is actually capable of squashing you in seconds flat. Sometimes they're magical creatures, sometimes they're innocent-looking human beings, but the one thing that connects them all is their ability to comfortably make you cry like a baby through either adorability and out-and-out aggression. Here are 23 of them, and if you have any others you'd like to suggest, feel free to let us know. |
|  | | 20 Kick Ass Casting Suggestions For Expendables 3
With Sylvester Stallone tweeting some thoughts and updates on Expendables 3 last week, our thoughts turned to possible (and a few impossible) casting choices. We've kept this old school, so you won't find a Rock or a Diesel here, but a few of our candidates still have action careers that survived post-'90s. Others... not so much. Sly also mentioned a desire for a young, sexy female star (who can blame him?) and some sort of Q-like young, male, geeky type. But suggestions for those are for another list... Here then, are our own thoughts - give us yours in the comments. |
|  | | 12 Films Whose Directors Jumped Ship (Or Were Pushed...)
The news that Lynne Ramsay decided not to show up for work on Natalie Portman Western Jane Got A Gun was all the more shocking because it was the director herself who made the decision after what is usually diplomatically described as "creative differences." But she's not the first filmmaker to leave or - more frequently - get fired from a movie... |
|  | | Bryan Singer Talks Jack The Giant Slayer
Jack The Giant Slayer is Bryan "I directed the first two X-Men movies" Singer's take on the age-old fairy tale of a young boy (Nicholas Hoult) taking on whopping great big monster men who live in the clouds (Bill Nighy et al.), and in this video interview below we discuss how he pulled it off. Expect discussions on topics as diverse as sheep herding, gold armour manufacture and church bell lobbing. |
|  | | 15 Wildly Misleading Movie Titles
There are uninspiring film titles (Not Without My Daughter), weird film titles (The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies) and the film titles that deliver what they promise (Ferris Bueller's Day Off). But some films go by monikers that are as unenlightening as they are unenticing - and even when the film itself is great, surely there's room for improvement. Here are the very worst. |
|  | | Exclusive Ryan Reynolds Podcast Interview Transcript
Ryan Rodney Reynolds has already proved himself to be one of the finest alliterative actors around, and now he's trying his hand at voice acting with The Croods before taking on the title role in Turbo. In the latest Empire Podcast there are five minutes of the following Ryan Reynolds interview, but here's the full, uncompromised transcript in which the Canadian actor offers up interesting tidbits on Deadpool, Justice League, masturbating to The Mission and making out with Patrick Warburton. | | | |

Jack The Giant Slayer 
Far from the giant mess you'd expect from the delayed release, late title change and a production history as muddled as the source material, Singer's tall tale is snatched from disaster by an all-hell-breaks-loose third act. | | | |

Michael Haneke's Palme D'Or winner is uncomfortable, uncompromising, unflinching... and utterly unmissable. Old age may not be a reality you wish to confront, but you must see this film. | | | |
