Tron: Ares
Ready for the 3.0 upgrade? Tron returns with a state-of-the-art blockbuster that brings Flynn’s A.I. creation into the real world. Empire goes on set to speak to director Joachim Rønning and his cast – including Tron OG Jeff Bridges – about the Grid’s reboot.
Nine Inch Nails
In recent years, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have moulded the movie soundtrack in their own image. Now, they’re about to change the game again, scoring Tron: Ares as Nine Inch Nails. They talk Empire through crafting a score with teeth.
Alien: Earth
Get ready for a take on Alien like no other. Noah Hawley’s small-screen series will bring the Xenomorph to terra firma, unleashing all kinds of beasts, androids, and humans along the way. Empire speaks to Hawley and his cast about birthing a modern saga.
The Thursday Murder Club
Tea, cakes, and murder, anyone? Empire goes on set to get clued up on Chris Columbus’ adaptation of Richard Osman’s mega-hit murder-mystery – with a killer cast led by Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie.
The Life Of Chuck
Mike Flanagan’s first film since Doctor Sleep is another Stephen King adaptation that tackles life, the universe, and everything. The director and star Tom Hiddleston unite to discuss their existential odyssey.
Nobody 2
The original Nobody turned Bob Odenkirk into a bone-snapping action star. Now, the sequel ups the stakes – with a cult Indonesian director, a pulpier premise, and the return of Sharon Stone on villainous form. Empire speaks to all the somebodies involved.
Materialists
Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal are caught in a love triangle in Celine Song’s romantic-drama follow-up to Past Lives. The starry trio sit down to talk love, loss and everything in between.
