SFX and Total Film to release special editions for Transformers

LONDON - Future Publishing's SFX and Total Film are to release collectable covers of the magazines this month to promote the forthcoming big screen release of 'Transformers', which is out in the UK later this month.

The publisher has worked with Paramount Films to create exclusive artwork for the August editions of SFX and Total Film to coincide with the UK release of 'Transformers', which features Jon Voight and John Turturro, on July 27.

Total Film will contain an eight-page behind the scenes feature of the film, including a 3D gatefold spread that features lead bad guy, Megatron and the heroes Bumblebee and Optimus Prime.

The magazine features interviews with the stars, including Shia Labeouf, Megan Fox and Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime.

Sister title SFX offers three different 'Transformers' covers, with fans able to choose between the good guys, the Autobots and the evil Decepticons. Subscribers to SFX receive a special third cover, without coverlines, featuring the transforming car, Bumblebee.

SFX includes the complete history of 'Transformers', including the toys and cartoons, which led to the blockbuster movie.

Simon Maxwell, publisher of Future's film and TV portfolio, said: "Both Total Film and SFX have secured amazing collector's covers that both 'Transformers' enthusiasts and movie fans will love.

"Exclusive artwork secured from Paramount is a testament to both magazine teams, who have worked hard to make sure their creative ideas come alive."
