This week, we took the unusual step of unveiling the subscriber's cover for the next issue of Empire a little early. There were a few reasons for this. First of all, we were bursting with excitement and couldn't wait to show you this cool Interstellar image. Secondly, Christopher Nolan - who personally picked it out for us - was equally pleased and gave us permission to spill the beans. And thirdly, everyone knows that Matthew McConaughey cannot be contained for long. In any case, make sure to admire both the cover and the similarly beautiful poster, and look out next week for our newsstand image as well (to be sure you never miss a subscriber cover, click here! ). Elsewhere on the site, we continued our look at the future of film with a report on the evolution of visual effects - and more - and published two classic Empire features on Paul Newman and the inimitable Gary Busey .

    Latest Trailer For The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1
    As The Day Today's Chris Morris might put it, "That's it! It's war!" The conflict between the despotic, resource-rich and couture-obsessed Capitol and the defiant Districts is coming to a violent head in the latest trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1. Check it out.

    The Future Of Film: There'll Be An Oscar For Performance Capture
    In Hollywood at least, the jury is still out on whether performance capture should qualify as acting, or a combination of VFX and animation. As early as 2002, after astonishment at Andy Serkis's deeply committed realisation of schizoid mutant hobbit Gollum in The Two Towers, there were calls for the trailblazing actor to receive a Best Supporting nomination from the Academy. He didn't; the film won a deserved Oscar for Best Visual Effects. In other quarters - not least the reader-voted Empire Awards and a few critics' bodies - Serkis has received numerous acting nominations and gongs for performance-captured roles, including King Kong and Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes' Caesar. The Academy, however, can't quite see it.

  • The Empire Podcast #129: Liam Neeson, The Riot Club Stars
    The Empire Podcast breaks new ground this week, as just one person interviews five different people, all at once. Give a warm Empire welcome, then, to Max Irons, Sam Claflin, Douglas Booth, Holliday Grainger and Jessica Brown Findlay, all dropping by to talk (in a rather posh fashion) about The Riot Club. Oh, and some guy called Liam Neeson (whoever he is) turns up in honour of A Walk Among The Tombstones.

    Classic Feature: Gods Among Us - Paul Newman
    A few years ago, Paul Newman received a letter from a fan of his Newman's Own salad dressings. After extolling the vibrant, aromatic tang of his Family Recipe Italian, or the creamy luxuriance of his Parisienne Dijon Lime, the sender signed off by saying that he'd heard Newman had also appeared in a number of moving pictures and wondered whether he might have seen any of them. What makes this so priceless - and it's a chestnut that the man himself has been known to polish from time to time, so quell your scepticism - is that no-one, not even the most condiment-obsessed radicchio freak, could be unaware of Paul Newman's status as the greatest movie star of all time.

    Shut Up World: Gary Busey Is Talking
    Gary Busey has a bench. Located around the back of his Malibu home, it overlooks a stunning vista: the white sands of Zuma Beach below, the sparkling Pacific Ocean beyond. Each day, the 67-year-old lights a Cuban cigar, settles down on the seat and surveys the view. It's tranquil, peaceful, serene. Or it would be, if it weren't for one thing: Gary Busey.
