Welcome to TOTAL FILM
THE SMARTER MOVIE MAGAZINE
t’s all about fathers and sons this issue for me – both in the and in Ryan Reynolds’ latest actioner, . I’ve talked to Reynolds numerous times over the years (from wandering around LA while talking about in 2010 to last year’s ) and he’s always been the entertainer in chats. This time we ended up talking about our dads and what our pre-teen selves might think of us now. “If my 12-year-old self could see where I’m at right now he would have taken his damn glove to my insolent face, and said, ‘How dare you have this amazing life that you’ll one day get to share with people?’” he said. I had to agree; as a movie-mad kid who dreamed of being on film sets and talking to filmmakers about their work, younger me would have been pretty stoked to see that I get to do just that. As. An. Actual. Job. Twelveyear-old me would have pored over this issue with delight, just the way I have in creating it with my equally film-crazed team. We hope you enjoy coming along for the ride.
