Empire UK - February 2017

In this issue

T2 TRAINSPOTTING - The Danny Boyle classic has spawned a sequel. Choose life. Choose a film magazine. Choose the ‘Contents’ page. Choose so-called funny witticisms instead of useful information. Choose choosing. Choose... oh, sod it.

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 - The Keanu Reeves hit man hit has spawned a sequel. Chapter 3 sees him team up with his long-lost brother, Hampton.

A MONSTER CALLS - Liam Neeson voices a walking, talking tree. He plays the role to the Ent degree. You know, like John Rhys-Davies in The Lord Of Tbe Rings. Oh, please yourself.

THE ULTIMATE 2017 PREVIEW - Films set in 2017 include Pamela Anderson ‘vehicle’ Barb Wire, sections of Adam Sandler ‘comedy’ Click, the last bit of Harry Potter And
The Deathly Hallows — Part 2 and Terminator Genisys. And you thought 2016 was grim.

THE DRIVER - Walter Hill, the director of car-chase classic The Driver, is interviewed by Edgar Wright, the director of car-chase classic-inwaiting Baby Driver. It’s like Top Gear with more intelligent, better-dressed people.

VIOLA DAVIS - The mighty star of The Help, Prisoners, Suicide Squad and now Fences gets the Empire grilling. If she wrote an autobiography, it’d be called ‘A History Of Viola’.
