The latest edition of Film Stories magazine, featuring boxing drama Giant, a 16-page Moon making-of special, and lots more, is available now.

Film Stories magazine issue 58, featuring 168 glossy pages dedicated to cinema, is available to buy from our online store right now.

In this edition, we talk to writer-director Rowan Athale about his decade-long fight to make his Prince Naseem Hamed boxing movie, Giant. It’s a story that takes in years of pitching and writing, last-minute casting changes – and a decisive private screening with Hamed himself.

We also talk to genre filmmakers Neil Marshall and Christopher Smith about their work – the former about his 30 year career in action and horror, the latter about the 4K reissue of his cult slasher satire, Severance.

There are also in-depth articles about the movies of Ken Loach, the changing face of The Godfather III, the filmmakers obsessed with a Frankenstein moment barely mentioned in the novel, and tonnes more besides.

Here’s the cover:

Towards the middle of the magazine you’ll find a 16-page special dedicated to Moon – director Duncan Jones’ 2009 sci-fi classic. We explore its early conception, making, and the work of miniature effects artist Bill Pearson.

Elsewhere, there’s all this, too:

The making of the British indie thriller, Game
Fackham Hall: how a group of comedy writers send up British period dramas
Eternity: Filmmaker David Freyne on his comedy homage to A Matter Of Life And Death
26 for 2026: A run-down of the movies by UK filmmakers coming up next year
Physical media, short film reviews, podcasts, books and industry news

…plus lots more besides – all in the UK’s biggest independent film magazine!
