 |  We've written a tonne of exciting articles this week, cleverly ensuring that the odds are in your favour that you'll find something you like. We've interviewed The Hunger Games: Catching Fire cast, where they discuss poisonous centipedes, carrying old ladies and doing back flips in wetsuits. We have a podcast special with the legendary George A. Romero , talking zombies and horror and much more. We quizzed Gareth Evans on The Raid sequel Berandal and producer David Heyman on Gravity, and if gaming is more your thing you might want to check out the guide to next generation consoles. Oh, and since this weekend sees the coolness of bowties, fezzes and sonic screwdrivers at an all-time high with the 50th anniversary extravaganza for Doctor Who, we look back over the Time Lord's many incarnations while supping a bowl of fish fingers and custard. Yummy. See you on the website - Geronimo! Helen O'Hara

  Ace New Gravity Short Lands Online
If you've seen Gravity - and judging by its monster box office, you have, twice - cast your mind back to the moment Sandra Bullock's astronaut Ryan Stone gets on the comms in the Russian space station and, Major Tom-style, has a fleeting interaction with a disembodied voice on Earth. Well, in a lovely moment of loose-end-tying, the movie's screenwriter, Jonás Cuarón, has made a short film showing what happened at the end of that line.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Interviews
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a sequel that seriously ups the ante from the first film, widening out the story's focus from Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss to the whole world of Panem, while at the same time keeping its eye on the human drama. We spoke to (deep breath) Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Jeffrey Wright and director Francis Lawrence to get the full story... | |
|  | | The Empire Podcast #88
Though you can read her wise words here and watch her talk "super snoods" here Jennifer Lawrence isn't on this week's Empire Podcast, but her good friend and favourite music video director, Francis Lawrence (who just so happened to have helmed The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), is, joined by Stanley Tucci and Elizabeth Banks. |
|  | | Empire's George A. Romero Podcast Special
The living legend that is George A. Romero was in London recently for the BFI's Gothic season. In between giving talks and introducing special screenings of his films, Romero popped into the Empire Podcast booth talk to us about zombies, Knightriders and the projects that almost came to be. Listen below for all that and more from the man who basically changed the face of horror with his Night Of The Living Dead trilogy. |
|  | | The Doctor Who's Who: A Guide To The Time Lord's Incarnations Through The Years
On November 23, 1963, an odd little show premiered on British television. It promised a window into a realm of monsters, aliens, history and mystery, all anchored by a strange man in an even stranger box. Doctor Who had hit the airwaves and the world would never be the same again. But if you have only ever seen the current version, please make your own TARDIS dematerialisation noise and step back in time with us... |
|  | | Expanded Universe: Doctor Who
The Doctor has graced our television screens - and occasionally the big-screen - for 50 years this month, but given that he's lived for 900-odd years those episodes chronicle only a fraction of his adventures. To fill in the blank spots there are a wealth of novelisations and original stories featuring all his different incarnations (so far) and a host of excitement that the BBC special effects budgets of the '70s and '80s would struggle to deliver. Here's our guide to the pages of Gallifrey... |
|  | | The 10 Reasons You Need To Buy A Next Gen Console
It hardly matters whether you're on the blue team or the green team because both the PS4 and the XB1 are slick, powerful and vastly overshadow your current kit. But are either of them worth shelling out for on day one? Here are ten reasons why the answer to that questions is a resounding 'yes'. |
|  | | Gareth Evans On The Raid 2: Berandal Trailer
The first teaser trailer for The Raid 2: Berandal - the eagerly-anticipated sequel to, arguably, the best action movie since Hard Boiled - hit the internet recently, giving us tantalising glimpses at Iko Uwais' returning hero, Rama, and the horde of new characters he'll be butting heads with. Literally. To get the lowdown on these new characters, we jumped onto Skype and asked the film's writer-director, Gareth Evans, to give us a world exclusive guided tour... |
