25 Must-See Films Starring Harry Potter Actors Coming In 2016

13. Flying Horse - Ralph Fiennes & Gary Oldman

Another horse title, but an entirely different slant, as this biopic charts the life of photographic pioneer Eadweard Muybridge, whose work in moving pictures was hugely important in the advancement of feature film-making. Behind his professional work, Muybridge - who is set to be played by Ralph Fiennes - was disgraced by an affair between his wife Flora and a drama critic Harry Larkyns (Benedict Cumberbatch) who was suspected to have fathered her young son. Ultimately, Muybridge murdered Larkyns and was tried but acquitted for justifiable homicide, suggesting huge potential for a tense, actor-friendly story that will suit Fiennes' classical training and fierce presence.
