Total Film Launches Fully Interactive iPad Edition

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Total Film, the modern movie brand for film fans, today launched a global iPad edition featuring interactive pages, exclusive content and full-screen video. To take advantage of the razor-sharp image quality on the new iPad, the new monthly edition is fully retina display enabled and contains content and features in addition to the standard print-replica digital edition. These include animated feature intros, exclusive picture galleries, full-screen movie trailers and sharable text.

Launching with an exclusive "The Dark Knight Rises" cover story, the issue itself features adapted video content direct from the set of the blockbuster summer film.

"The Total Film Interactive Edition offers our readers the perfect opportunity to fully engage in the Total Film experience," said Jane Crowther, editor of Total Film. "Through interactive pages, bespoke video, plus exclusive bonus content and galleries, our audience of passionate film fans are able to interact with the brand's cutting-edge editorial content more than ever before."

The Total Film Interactive Edition was created using Future's own proprietary software, FutureFolio. FutureFolio is an Apple-approved wrapper for digital products on the Newsstand, which opens up new opportunities and channels for the digital publication market.

"Total Film is the perfect brand for the iPad - good-looking, cool, forward-thinking and all about amazing content," said Mike Goldsmith, Editor-in-Chief of Future's iPad and Tablet Editions.

With more than 70 titles available for purchase on Apple's Newsstand, Future is a world leader in tablet publishing and has more digital editions available for iPads and iPhones than any other publisher.
