This summer’s most epic blockbuster is nearly here. Christopher Nolan is about to unleash The Odyssey, his star-studded adaptation of the Ancient Greek myth shot entirely on 70mm IMAX – and the new issue of Empire is here to bring you right into the heart of the action, going on set for two days with Nolan and his cast.
The issue – which comes in three collectible cover editions – doesn’t hit shelves until July 2 (or you can order a copy online here), but here’s a sneak peek inside its pages.
The Odyssey
Swords up! Empire goes on set of Christopher Nolan’s mythical epic to see how he pulled off his most ambitious movie yet – and speaks to Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland and more to get the inside story on this year’s must-see summer movie.
The End Of Oak Street
What happens when dinosaurs invade suburbia? You get a true toothy competitor to Jurassic. Director David Robert Mitchell and producer JJ Abrams talk their razor-toothed sci-fi adventure.
The Dog Stars
Ridley Scott is back, now in apocalypse mode. The director and his cast – Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley – tell Empire about the soul that underpins their end-of-days thriller.
Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma
Get ready for a brand new, totally original vision from Jane Schoenbrun – a psychedelic explosion of slasher movies, lust, and buckets of blood. Scheonbrun, plus stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, talk a movie that changes all the rules.
Coyote Vs. Acme
It was nearly erased from existence. But finally, Coyote Vs. Acme is about to hit cinemas, outrunning the axe with pure Looney Tunes energy. Its creators and cast tell Empire about coming back from the brink – and making something worth celebrating.
Pressure
Everyone knows the story of D-Day. But do you know the story of the weather forecast that nearly stopped D-Day in its tracks? Empire speaks to Brendan Fraser, Andrew Scott, and director Anthony Maras about their gripping historical drama.
