Empire has been blessed with some prestigious guest editors before – Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have both occupied the hot seat – and this month they’re joined by another filmmaking titan. Sam Mendes, director of Spectre, Skyfall and American Beauty, among others, is adding Empire’s guest editorship to his substantial honour roll. And with him comes the greatest Spectre coverage on the planet.
When the November issue hits shelves next Thursday, within will be 38 pages of dedicated Spectre coverage, including first-looks, on-set reports and all the treasures afforded to a magazine whose editor actually made the movie.
It's a truly unmissable event for fans of Empire, 007, the Bond franchise or Mendes' - can we just call him 'boss' now and be done with it? - filmmaking career, both within and without Eon's historic franchise. He's delved into his contacts book to quiz his peers (including fellow guest editor Steven Spielberg!) on all their filmmaking tricks and traits.
Look out for much, much more on this very special Spectre issue of Empire right here in the next seven days. The November issue - edited by Sam Mendes - will hit shelves on September 24. Pre-order your copy here{
