Ten films everyone will be talking about in 2016

2015 was, in every sense of the word, a blockbuster year for cinema. Spectre, Star Wars, Jurassic World, a new Hunger Games, 50 Shades of Grey: there’s a reason you didn’t have enough money for Christmas presents this year.

2016 looks to bust open the box office once again, although in part it looks like the year of the remake, with a number of old favourites subjected to a 21st century update, because – Hollywood logic – if it ain’t broke, remake it.

It’s also a big year for franchises: Captain America returns (“Civil War”), Batman will be facing off against Superman, there’s a new X-Men adventure (“Apocalypse”), Fast and Furious director Justin Lin takes over from JJ Abrams with Star Trek: Beyond and even Bridget Jones is making a comeback.
