The covers of the upcoming issue ofTotal Filmhave been revealed, and they’re not pulling any punches. Ready to rumble are Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor, stars of the upcoming reimagining of ’80s favourite, Road House, and the issue hits shelves on Friday, March 1, with subscribers receiving their copies shortly
Conor McGregor - the MMA superstar making his acting debut here - enters the picture as Knox, the muscle who’s brought in by those sinister outside forces to help remove their Dalton problem. The film premieres around the globe on Prime Video on March 21.
In the cover story, Gyllenhaal, McGregor and their co-stars tell all about their fresh new take - from getting fighting fit to going toe-to-toe with a real MMA champ. The stunt and fight coordinators also explain how they pioneered a whole new kind of screen-fighting for the film. Plus, we get into what director Doug Liman brought to the project, and the reaction to his decision to boycott the premiere over the film’s release plans.
Look out for more Road House exclusives dropping soon. Elsewhere in the issue, another ’80s favourite returns in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, and you’ll also find in-depth features on epic upcoming sci-fi shows Fallout and 3 Body Problem. Plus, Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian, and Rose Glass talk about their impossible-to-categorise thriller, Love Lies Building, and Jack O’Connell sits down for a major new career interview ahead of the release of Back to Black. There are also new looks at Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Abigail, Civil War, and loads more.
