 |  This week's entirely rebooted newsletter honours a seven-day period more packed with franchise updates than the contents of Ronald McDonald's in-tray. There was an exciting Star Wars update from J. J. Abrams' mission control, a new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, word from Jurassic World, an ectoplasmic splodge of Ghostbusters 3 intel, news of an Incredibles 2 and in an unexpected twist, the revelation that Sofia Coppola will tackle The Little Mermaid. Not literally. So how is this New Newsletter different? Well, basically we've added a colon and called it The Amazing Friday Newsletter: Eat Dust, Week. Oh, and Quote of the Week got fixed in post. Enjoy! Phil De Semlyen

|  | | The Empire Podcast #103
In this week's Empire Podcast, mind-blowingly masculine Labor Day star Josh Brolin is joined by a similarly manly British counterpart in the form of Jack O'Connell (of Starred Up, This Is England and 300: Rise Of An Empire fame).

Phillipa Bloom reports... |

With promo clips often put together during production and before final cut, they can sometimes contain otherwise-unseen gems. In other cases, they can be deliberately misleading. Here are 25 examples representing both angles... |

He survived the ultra-bomb Dune. He made up 50 per cent of the swimming shagathon in Showgirls. But does the man who made talking into tape recorders an art form display a damn fine knowledge of all thing dairies? |

Labor Day 
A tender, nostalgic and warm 'family' drama which also quietly seethes with the threat and tension of imminent danger. Labor Day shows a new side to Jason Reitman as a filmmaker, and we like it. Also Out

Anchored by two of the most natural, committed performances you'll ever see, Blue Is The Warmest Colour is the most moving love story of the year. Also Out
