Suki Waterhouse is midway through a tour of America and woke up this morning on the bus in Philadelphia. ‘I’m in a little bit of a daze,’ she says over Zoom, now ensconced in her hotel. ‘I’ve just reached civilisation and I’m looking out on the river. It’s really gorgeous.’ While the model turned singer, actor and fashion designer is living out her wildest rock ’n’ roll dreams, what she really wants is to find a decent laundrette. ‘I’m desperately trying to find a clean pair of socks.’
It’s been a ‘bizarre’ experience for the 31-year-old seeing her dreams to become a fully-fledged singer coming to fruition soon after wrapping filming on Daisy Jones & The Six, Waterhouse’s new Prime Video series about the rise and fall of a Fleetwood Mac-style rock band in the 1970s. ‘It’s very exciting. It’s kind of crazy. I feel like I’m living out Daisy Jones & The Six,’ she laughs.
Life is imitating art to a feverish degree as she promotes her debut album, I Can’t Let Go. ‘It’s like, “Today you’re in Philly. Tomorrow, you’ll be in Denver.” And [I’m] like, “Wait, I’ve just done all of this.”’ There’s just one thing missing, though. ‘I wish I had the Daisy Jones wardrobe on hand at all times.’

Snow Time to Die - Red One J.K. Simmons' Santa gets kidnapped. Luckily, Dwayne Johnson's on hand to save him...
If 2022's Violent Night gave us Die Hard in a Santa suit, Jake Kasdan's Red One could be retitled North Pole Has Fallen. The world imagined by Kasdan finds Saint Nick kidnapped two days before Christmas Eve. It's up to Dwayne Johnson's head of security, Callum Drift, and Chris Evans' unscrupulous hacker-for-hire, Jack O'Malley, to hunt down the man in red in time for the big day.
Back With a Vengeance - Sir Ridley Scott returns to the Colosseum with Gladiator II, the long-awaited sequel to the greatest historical epic of this century. Total Film meets the director and cast to discover how Maximus' legacy is echoing in eternity.
Ridley Scott is not a filmmaker to repeat himself. It's a trait that's all the more remarkable when you consider how prolific he's been over the nearly five decades since his feature debut, 1977's The Duellists. Alien prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are the only times he's gone back to the same world, and those films are radical departures from the original.
Bad Romance - Timestalker Alice Lowe falls in love with the wrong man time and time again...
Her antidote to that? Timestalker a dark not-quite-romcom set over the course of centuries. Her protagonist Agnes finds herself attracted to the same man, Alex (Dunkirk's Aneurin Barnard), in every lifetime as she's reincarnated in the 1680s, 1790s, 1980s and the 22nd century. As romantic as that may sound, there's a bit of a catch: 'He's sort of a dickhead. On the surface he's appealing, but under, he's not.'
