Total Film Magazine August 2010 Issue 170 Angelina Jolie Salt Johnny Depp Movies SKU 1482

Original Total Film Magazine, August 2010, Issue 170, with Angelina Jolie dominating the cover for the action-thriller Salt.

This is a particularly substantial issue, advertised as a 200-page edition and described on the cover as the magazine’s “biggest issue ever”, with a major feature counting down “100 Coolest Things In Movies Ever!”

The cover has a strong espionage/action theme, showing Angelina Jolie in character from Salt, dressed in black and holding a handgun. The main cover line reads:

“Shaken and stirred. Angelina Jolie is SALT – Cinema just got a new super spy…”

This makes it a strong period piece for collectors of Angelina Jolie, Salt, action cinema and Total Film back issues.

Major Cover Features

Salt / Angelina Jolie
The principal feature is dedicated to Salt, with Angelina Jolie presented as the magazine’s new cinematic super-spy. Her cover photograph occupies most of the upper half of the issue and is the clear focus of this edition.

100 Coolest Things In Movies Ever
A major retrospective feature promoted prominently across the lower half of the cover, counting down 100 memorable elements, moments and icons from cinema.

The magazine advertises this as part of a redesigned, expanded issue with:

• New look
• New sections
• 200 pages
• Total Film’s biggest issue ever at that point

Comic Book & Superhero Coverage

The cover specifically highlights a group of comic-book related films:

• Captain America
• Scott Pilgrim
• Jonah Hex

This gives the issue additional appeal for collectors interested in early coverage of the expanding comic-book movie era.

Johnny Depp Features

The magazine advertises “Double Depp!”, with early looks at:

• The Tourist
• The Rum Diary

Both are directly promoted on the cover, making Johnny Depp another significant part of the issue.

Film Set / Preview Coverage

The right-hand cover column advertises on-set coverage of:

• The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
• Tyrannosaur
• Transformers 3

The issue therefore combines contemporary reviews with substantial behind-the-scenes and forthcoming-film material.

Other Cover Feature

The cover also advertises:

“Genius! The return of Rutger”

adding further film-related editorial content to what is clearly a very feature-heavy issue.

Collectability

This issue is especially relevant for collectors of:

• Angelina Jolie memorabilia
• Salt
• Johnny Depp
• The Tourist
• The Rum Diary
• Captain America
• Scott Pilgrim
• Transformers
• Total Film back issues
• 2010 cinema memorabilia
• Superhero and comic-book movie magazines
• Action and spy cinema

The 200-page / biggest issue ever branding also gives this edition a distinctive place within the Total Film run.

Condition

Pre-owned / used condition.

The photographs show noticeable age and handling wear, so this should not be described as mint or near mint.

Visible condition points include:

• Considerable surface rubbing and scuffing, particularly across the dark brown/black lower section of the front cover
• Numerous fine scratch and handling marks visible under the light
• General rubbing to the printed surface
• Wear along the top edge
• Noticeable wear to the top-right corner, including whitening/rubbing and a slight bend
• General corner wear
• Light wear and rubbing around the bottom corners
• Edge wear along both sides of the cover
• Some wear visible around the spine
• Light creasing / handling impressions across the cover
• Front cover remains attached and broadly flat
• Main artwork, text and barcode remain clearly readable
• Colours remain strong despite the surface wear
• No obvious large tears are visible in the supplied image
• No obvious handwritten notes or ownership markings can be seen

Overall, it presents as a well-used but still attractive collectible copy, with the main issue being the extensive cosmetic surface scuffing and edge/corner wear visible on the cover.
