30 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Still To Come In 2016 - Ranked

10. Passengers

2016 Films To Come
Columbia Pictures

Release Date: December 21st

Billed As: What Imitation Game director Morten Tyldum did next: oh, and with the charming dream team of Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt for good measure.

Hype: As well as Tyldum directing, the script was written by Doctor Strange's Jon Spaihts, and features the talents of Laurence Fishburne and Michael Sheen too. That's quite the cast.

The story is a little creepy, to be honest (though there is some discrepancy on the synopsis, depending on who you ask). Either Pratt is the only passenger awake on a spaceship transporting people to a distant planet thanks to a malfunction and wakes up a fellow passenger (Lawrence) for company, or they both wake up thanks to malfunctions.

Either way, despite it being a two person movie mostly there's more than enough charisma in there to carry it.
