25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Winter 2016 - Ranked

6. The Founder

Winter 2016
The Weinstein Company

Release Date: December 16th

Billed As: The Social Network, only with burgers. And a clown, because they're so hot right now.

Hype: Forget the McConnaissance, the real story of Hollywood recently has been the revival of Michael Keaton's career. He's made Spotlight and Birdman, and he's got Spider-Man: Homecoming still coming, but not before he gets to play the man behind the McDonalds revolution.

Keaton will play Ray Kroc, the Mark Zuckerberg of fast food restaurants, in the tale of how he worked with the McDonald brothers and took over for himself.

The cast is great - with Nick Offerman, Laura Dern and Patrick Wilson - all involved, and while McDonalds may not be impressed, Facebook did get bigger after The Social Network. Not that it was at all linked.
