Total Film Magazine September 2010 Issue 171 Machete Harry Potter Green Hornet SKU 1482

Original Total Film Magazine, September 2010, Issue 171, featuring a large Blockbuster Movie Preview with prominent cover artwork for Machete, Harry Potter and The Green Hornet.

The centre of the cover is dominated by Danny Trejo as Machete, holding his trademark blade, with the magazine presenting the issue as a major preview of upcoming films. The cover also features Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter on the left and The Green Hornet imagery on the right.

The main headline reads:

“BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE PREVIEW”

with the subheading:

“Your ticket to 39 red-hot movies”

This makes the issue particularly appealing to collectors of 2010 film magazines and fans of major franchises and cult cinema from the period.

Main Cover Features

Prominently advertised films include:

• Machete
• Harry Potter
• The Green Hornet
• TRON
• The Social Network
• Black Swan
• Let Me In
• The Fighter
• Resident Evil

The cover also advertises:

• Steve Carell
• The Human Centipede
• Angelina Jolie
• A Resident Evil feature
• Total Film’s “biggest preview ever”

Machete Feature

The strongest visual focus is Machete, with Danny Trejo placed front and centre against a fiery action-style backdrop. The character is shown in sleeveless black leather with tattoos visible and a large machete held upright, giving the cover a bold grindhouse/action-film aesthetic.

For collectors of Robert Rodriguez / Machete memorabilia, this is a particularly strong period cover from around the film’s original release.

Harry Potter

The left side of the cover features Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, with the familiar glasses and Hogwarts-era styling. This adds crossover appeal for collectors of Harry Potter film magazines and memorabilia.

The Green Hornet

The right side promotes The Green Hornet, with a masked character in hat and dark costume, adding another major 2010/2011 film property to the issue.

Magazine Content / Themes

This issue is heavily focused on forthcoming cinema releases, with a broad preview format covering action, fantasy, thriller, horror and major studio films.

The cover indicates coverage of 39 upcoming movies, making it more substantial than a standard single-film issue and useful as a snapshot of the movie landscape heading into late 2010.

The selection spans:

Action: Machete, The Green Hornet
Fantasy: Harry Potter
Science Fiction: TRON
Drama: The Social Network, The Fighter
Psychological / Art-house: Black Swan
