Welcome at Empire UK Magazine March 2021 issue
It began with a tweet from director Edgar Wright in November — “Saw Fatal Attraction again & remembered when I’d seen it with a packed crowd, Anne Archer’s line: ‘If you come near my family again, I’ll kill you’, made the place ERUPT in applause. Made me miss the roar
of the audience. Name some scenes that memorably brought the house down.”
It’s a tweet that took on a life of its own as film fans, actors and filmmakers alike shared their own amazing movie moments experienced in packed picturehouses. In a time of such uncertainty and difficulty, it was wonderful to take a few moments to pay tribute to something that, yes, we missed, but we didn’t mourn. For we knew, know, it’ll be back again. Edgar approached us about collaborating on a feature for Empire. But that just didn’t seem good enough. So we cleared the cover, amassed a ton of pages and Edgar got to work contacting the great and good of Hollywood, inviting them to contribute (alongside you). After the call went out, the response was staggering. Edgar’s phone ringing and inbox filling up with missives from directors — Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Patty Jenkins, Bong Joon-ho, Spike Lee — and actors — Chris Evans, Tessa Thompson, Daniel Kaluuya. In total, 40 of them contributed to this very special issue. An issue I’d go so far as saying is one of the very best we’ve ever produced.
Someone asked me last year, when all of this started, when cinemas closed and productions halted: “What is Empire with no films?” It’s a question I’ve thought about a lot, but the answer’s clear. No films? Not even close. The lights might be dark for now, but the films remain. Will always remain. And until the lights go on, we’ll be here with you still: reminiscing about those moments when we’re shoulder-to-shoulder with a stranger as something unbelievable, magical, dances across the screen. The house will be brought down again. To keep you going until then, you’ve got this issue of Empire and the memories contained within it. Enjoy.
