This Week... This week, Empire is brought to you by magic. Not the everyday wi-fi sort of magic, nor the Harry Potter sort that involves a lot of gazing about in wonder while things float in the air, but all kinds of film magic. After all, Now You See Me is in cinemas, and stars Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher perform magic tricks on this week's podcast. And A Field In England sees some seriously psychedelic - if not technically sorcerous - goings on in the English countryside. If you prefer visual effects magic, we've taken a look behind the scenes of Cloud Atlas to see how the unfilmable book was, er, filmed. We also interviewed Sofia Coppola for a film-by-film career tour, discussed who should play Lex Luthor in a Man Of Steel sequel , read movie prequel comics so you don't have to, and opened voting to decide the sexiest stars in Hollywood right now. And for our next trick, we're going to send this newsletter straight to your inbox. Tada! Helen O'Hara Deputy Online Editor, Empire

Insanely Cool New Trailer For Only God Forgives The new film from Nicolas Winding Refn, Only God Forgives, has always looked pretty cool. But it has reached impossible new heights of hipness in this new colour-drenched trailer, which makes the film look like it's not only too cool for school but for college and kindergarten as well More: First Riddick TV Spot 'Now we play for blood...'

A Field In England beer and other goodies. The first person to crack one open is still staring through his fingers and occasionally giggling maniacally.

I watched a man making a bed for an hour and missed a blood orgy on the other floor. - says Nick. It's funnier if you don't know the context.

Aruba 2013: Paul Verhoeven Q&A On day two of AIFF 2013, Empire spent some time with Paul Verhoeven discussing his latest project, the highly experimental psychological character-comedy Tricked. The first ever interactive movie, it was conceived as means of integrating the public into the filmmaking process by soliciting scripts that picked up from where an opening five-minute sequence (written by screenwriter Kim van Kooten) left off. The result - one that astonished Verhoeven and writing partner Robert Alberdingk Thijm - was an absolute deluge of scripts from which, rather than selecting one to work with, they spent hour on infuriating hour meticulously teasing out elements - a line here, a plot twist there - in an attempt to construct a cohesive whole.

Vote For The Sexiest Movie Stars Ever! Hot or not: that's the question we want you to answer as we determine who are the sexiest stars in Hollywood right now. Is Megan Fox still a mega-fox? Does Bradley Cooper really surpass Ryan Gosling? Who goes to sleep at night humming Sexy And I Know It? We want you to choose five actors and actresses. You can vote for all men, all women or some combination thereof; it's entirely up to you. If you want to be in with a chance to be featured in the article, try your best to sum up the appeal of your choices in 140 characters or fewer, include your twitter handle / name and you might even see your name in lights (OK, onscreen). The Empire Podcast #68 If you've ever wanted to hear magic tricks on a podcast - come on, you know you want to - then look no further, as Now You See Me's Isla Fisher and Jesse Eisenberg are more than happy to oblige in this week's Empire Podcast. As well as dove impersonations and expert card shuffling, there's A Field In England's Reece Shearsmith on crashing the Empire Awards, pretending to take magic mushrooms and delivering that line in Spaced. Which line, you wonder? Best get listening then... A Before And After Look At Cloud Atlas's Visual Effects Cinema's first ever sci-fi-romance-thriller-historical-drama-with-a-bit-of-Ealing-comedy-in-it, it's fair to say that Cloud Atlas is among the more daring movies of the year. Its interwoven structure of interlocking story threads skips from the 19th century Pacific to future Neo-Seoul and beyond, CG-enhanced worlds created under the eye of VFX Supervisor and Matrix veteran Dan Glass. With Cloud Atlas out on DVD and Blu-ray, the Method Studios man took us behind the curtain to explain how it was created. Christian Bale Behind-The-Scenes As Batman This week Christian Bale went on record once again to say that he does not think he will ever step back into the Batsuit, and that he's not connected in any way to any Justice League movie. It's no big surprise to, well, any of us, but it prompted us to take a nostalgic look at some behind-the-scenes glimpses of the Bat-Bale at work... Who Should Play Lex Luthor? And Which Lex Luthor Should They Play? Following those mentions of LexCorp in Man Of Steel everyone, including us, assumes that the planned sequel will feature Lex Luthor - potentially as the big bad, at least as part of the ensemble. But while feverish speculation about his casting has already begun, that seems to be putting the cart before the horse. Far better to ask what sort of Lex we're looking for, and figure out from there who might fit the role. Here's what we've come up with... Movie Prequel Comics: Are They Worth Reading? It's become increasingly common in the last few years for movies, especially blockbusters involving science fiction or superheroes, to come complete with a prequel comic book. These publications fill in missing backstory, offer easter eggs for fans and clear up obscure plot points in a way that allows you to sound much more knowledgeable than your friends. Here are some of the best we've seen, that might just answer a few questions along the way... Sofia Coppola: Film By Film With the director of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now for a dad, a Moonrise Kingdom writer for a brother and, yes, Ghost Rider for an uncle, Sofia Coppola has movie making in the blood. She has turned that family tradition into a successful filmmaking career as one of Hollywood's most distinctive voices - as fans of Lost In Translation, Marie Antoinette and The Virgin Suicides, among others, will testify. Now with The Bling Ring she brings her stylish aesthetic to bear on a story of idolatry, crimes and Versace dresses. Empire took her back, film-by-film, over her career to date. Empire Presents the New York Film Academy New York Film Academy has built a reputation as one of the premier film schools in the world. With its innovative hands-on approach to teaching, students find themselves completely immersed in their course of study, surrounded by award-winning faculty and working with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. Learn Filmmaking, Acting for Film, Photography, Musical Theatre, Game Design, Animation and more. Emma Watson On The Bling Ring Emma Watson takes her career in a whole new direction in The Bling Ring, Sofia Coppola's tale of true-life crime in Los Angeles. Watson plays Nicki, one of the air-headed teens who broke into celebrity homes over a period of months to relieve them of their designer goods. Here she talks about the role, and our Chris very nearly ruins Christmas forever... Owen Wilson & Vince Vaughn: The Internship Interviews The Internship sees Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson laid off from their job as salesmen and determined to find a new path in life. Their answer? Google, where they sign up for demanding summer internships - much to the consternation of their younger rivals. We headed to the Google campus to talk to Vaughn, Wilson, Rose Byrne, Josh Gad, Jessica Szohr and Max Minghella about the new comedy... Kristen Wiig Talks Despicable Me 2, Anchorman 2 And More A veteran of Saturday Night Live, star and writer of the world-conquering Bridesmaids and soon love interest to Brick Tamland in Anchorman 2: is there anything Kristen Wiig can't do? We sat down with her recently in LA to discuss her role in Despicable Me 2, opposite Steve Carell's Gru, and found out a little more... Empire Meets Billie Jean King This month it's not just the telly that's top-to-tail tennis, but cinema too with The Battle Of The Sexes, James Erskine's absorbing documentary about tennis legend Billie Jean King's match against by-then hasbeen Grand Slam champion Bobby Riggs, watched by a mind-boggling 90 million people around the world, on September 20, 1973. Empire caught up with film buff Billie Jean at the documentary's gala premiere. Know What's On When And Where That's the sentiment that has been very much on our minds of late. With so many thousands of films available on demand across dozens of different services it can be quite a chore to navigate them all and locate what you really want to watch. To help alleviate some of the stress, Empire is helping to develop a tool to help you easily find out exactly what movies are available online and where you can find them. It tells you when movies you want to see come out on-demand and covers Netflix, Lovefilm, BlinkBox, BBC iPlayer, Film 4oD, Now TV and more, with 17,000 movies on twelve services.

Here are the ingredients for a girlie movie night with Nicholas Sparks' Safe Haven (out this week). James has claimed the lot because he hasn't seen it yet and is excited to see the big third-act twist.

The Backstreet Boys are fans of Fargo. In Canada, they have guard donkeys. Roland Emmerich calls it 21st Jump Street. The pub that played The King's Head in The World's End plans to rename and keep the sign. Someone in this office once slept with a tiler called Tyler.
