25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Winter 2016 - Ranked

23. Inferno

Winter 2016
Sony Pictures

Release Date: October 28th

Billed As: The third in the Dan Brown/Robert Langdon trilogy. This time, the ridiculous conceit sees him on the trail of an assassin trying to "solve" the world's over-population problem with a plague using the works of Dante.

Hype: The first two movies in the franchise made lots on their budgets, so a third was always inevitable (even if the second movie was a bit of a drag). There's also more than enough goodwill for Tom Hanks that anything he does is generally going to be appreciated and watched.

Will this spell the end of the franchise? Probably if the diminishing return of the first sequel are anything to go by, but all in all it's been an entertaining yarn while it's been spun. And when Ron Howard slums, it's still hugely watchable.
