THE BEGUILED - Sofia Coppola and her all-star cast remake one of Clint Eastwood’s weirder films. Yes, even weirder than the ones with the orangutan.

ROGER MOORE - The magnificent Sir Roger Moore, who passed away in May, in his own words.

CHURCHILL - The first of 2017’s duelling movies about Britain’s most famous Prime Minister. Is this the Deep Impact to the Armageddon of Joe Wright’s Darkest Hour?

THE EMPIRE INTERVIEW - A no-holds-barred chat with Chris Evans. We were halfway through a question about Top Gear before we realised we’d made a huge mistake.

LOVE ACTUALLY - Richard Curtis is grilled by fellow director, and super-fan, Paul Feig, on the frothy romcom that has become a Christmas classic.

THE EMPIRE INTERVIEW - Eric Bana, star of the greatest Empire feature that never made it to print: Eric Banagrams. Try some: Yort, Kulh, Cuminh. Fun! ........

THE GREAT WALL - Matt Damon is the only movie star visible from space. Fact. (Fake news.)

RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER - You know what other movie had the subtitle ‘The Final Chapter’? Friday The 13th part five. Which had six sequels. We’ll be seeing you, Milla.

THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE - Will Arnett, the voice of Lego Batman, embarks on a caped crusade: to assess the merits of his Bat-predecessors. Nipples not required.

REMEMBERING CARRIE FISHER - A huge and heartfelt 24-page tribute to the lady who was Leia. And much more besides. We’re not crying, we... well, actually, we are.

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’.

BLEED FOR THIS: Could Miles Teller be a contender? Will Aaron Eckhart go the distance?

SHERLOCK: Benedict Cumberbatch in a high collar, defending us all from evil? It’ll never catch on.

FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM - A Harry Potter film minus Harry Potter. There is a giant dung beetle though, so that’s something.

THE 30 GREATEST HARRY POTTER CHARACTERS - #31: Griphook the Goblin. #32: Professor Flitwick. #33: Goblin Bank Teller.

15 YEARS OF DONNIE DARKO - We reunite director Richard Kelly and Frank The Rabbit for an exclusive look back at stupid man-suits and Sparkle Motion.

THE CROWN - This Netflix show is so huge, it caused a national gold-coach-and-coronet shortage.

AARON ECKHART - I believe in Harvey Dent. Also in Kevin Rooney, President Benjamin Asher and Truck-Stop Patron. Eckhart’s so versatile.

LUKE CAGE - Meanwhile, on the other side of the MCU, a bulletproof dude with bulging muscles enters the fray for some serious Netflix and chill.

GENE WILDER - Team Empire pay tribute to the wonderful Gene Wilder. Yes, David Walliams is part of our team. He pops round all the time.

JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK - Tom Cruise returns as Lee Child’s hero in a piece that doesn’t mention the height thing once.

ANNA KENDRICK - In conversation with the star of Trolls, which is about animated monsters and not Twitter. #burn #lolz #humour.
